  • How To Stop the Israeli Plan To Destroy Al-Aqsa | Dr. Khalid El-Awaisi
    May 7 2026

    In this thought-provoking episode, The Thinking Youth sits down with Dr. Khalid El-Awaisi for a deep and reflective conversation recorded in Ireland on Al Aqsa Mosque and the Ummah. The discussion covers some of the most pressing political and moral questions facing the Muslim world today, while also reflecting on broader global dynamics, responsibility, and the role of young people in shaping meaningful change.


    Dr. Khalid El-Awaisi engages in an honest exploration of current events, particularly focusing on Palestine and the situation around Al-Aqsa, while also examining wider questions of political strategy, global power structures, and the state of Muslim engagement with these issues. The conversation challenges viewers to think critically about reaction versus planning, emotion versus strategy, and individual responsibility versus collective action.


    Beyond geopolitics, the discussion also reflects on identity, perception, and personal growth - touching on experiences from Bangladesh, lessons from global solidarity movements, and personal advice for the next generation of thinkers and leaders.


    This is a conversation aimed at encouraging deeper reflection, responsibility, and awareness among young Muslims and anyone interested in justice, global affairs, and meaningful change.

  • Why Humiliation Fails: Dawah, Power & Changing Muslim Mindset | Sami Hamdi
    Apr 30 2026

    In this episode of Thinking Youth, we are joined by Sami Hamdi to dive into some of the most pressing emotional and spiritual challenges facing young Muslims today.


    We begin with a powerful introduction before addressing the reality of open hatred and Islamophobia, including how to respond when individuals like Valentina Gomez and others publicly express hostility toward Muslims. This segment focuses on speaking with wisdom, strength, and purpose when addressing wider audiences.


    As the conversation deepens, we explore the concept of a mindset shift granted by Allah (Swt). What does it mean to be spiritually aware? And how often are we blind to guidance that’s right in front of us? This section invites reflection on faith, growth, and self-awareness.


    Finally, we turn inward to examine the role of parents in shaping who we are today - from our beliefs and values to our political perspectives. How should we navigate disagreements? What does Islam teach us about maintaining respect while thinking independently?


    This episode is a call to reflect, grow, and engage thoughtfully with both the world around us and our inner selves. Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

  • How Just 1,400 Votes Can DEFEAT the Far Right | British Elections 2026 with Dr. Wajid Akhter
    Apr 20 2026

    Only 1,400 votes could decide the future of the UK. And This Election Directly Impacts the World and Ummah.


    In this powerful episode, Dr. Wajid Akhter breaks down how a small number of voters can shape the outcome of the 2025 UK elections and what it means for communities across the country. With the rise of Reform UK and growing political tension, this conversation goes beyond headlines and into real strategy, real influence, and real responsibility.


    This is not just about politics. It is about power, participation, and whether British Muslims and other communities are ready to step up and shape the future.


    We discuss why the right wing is gaining ground, why activism alone is not enough anymore, and how local elections can have a massive impact. From Gaza to domestic policy, from media narratives to voter turnout, this episode connects the dots and challenges you to think deeper.


    If you care about the future of the UK, this is a conversation you cannot afford to ignore.


    Watch till the end and share this with someone who needs to hear it.
