Episode 02 | From Prison Walls to Sacred Lands

In this episode, Shaykh Anis Ahmed speaks with Imam Bilal bin Asif — a prison chaplain and Hajj & Umrah guide — to explore two vastly different yet spiritually rich environments: the prison system and the sacred cities of Makkah and Madinah.

Imam Bilal shares real-life experiences and valuable reflections on:

The emotional and spiritual challenges faced by Muslim prisoners
Memorable moments and lessons from leading pilgrims during Hajj and Umrah
The shared themes of patience, sincerity, and reliance on Allah
Practical advice for those preparing for the sacred journey of Hajj or Umrah
