The Chores Are A Wife's Job?

Hiii Cousins!!!!Happy Thursday!! We're back with a brand new episode! This week, we spoke about the rise in getting a cat and filming yourself taking care of it. Do you guys agree that this is basically a thirst trap for Muslim men? We also spoke about an interesting video that went viral a few weeks ago where a brother so gracefully *🙄* explained his views on gender roles and whether it’s appropriate for men to be in the labour ward with his wife as she delivers. Not everyone needs to share their thoughts on a public platform where younger audiences can potentially be influenced. We recognize that we have a platform and are responsible for sharing thought invoking conversations and try our best to maintain our integrity, speak the truth when it comes to deen and remain respectful always. Apparently Canadians could be getting UBI to help with the insanely high cost of living…but we’ll see if that plan actually comes to life! And a special shoutout to Yemen & South Africa for standing up for humanity ❤️ may Allah grant justice to the oppressed. Lastly, we pulled some of your comments that you all have been leaving us from past episodes - THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LOVE! If you'd like your comment to potentially be shouted out in future episodes, don't forget to comment on our YouTube video 😊As always, thank you so much for all of your support!

Her Dad's Arranging Her Marriage

Hiii Cousins!!!!Happy Thursday!! We're back with another episode this week! This week, we spoke about our preferences of marrying within our culture or marrying outside of our culture (p.s. we support interracial and interethnic relationships ❤️). We also discussed whether a couple should go 50/50 on their expenses or if the man should be covering all the expenses because LBR...living in Toronto is getting TOO expensive!!!Sara also gave Amir the rundown on Gypsy Rose who is now a free woman and apparently already a social media influencer/phenomenon...To continue from last week's recap of 2023, we had to give an honorary mention to AI (artificial intelligence) which took 2023 by storm!Lastly, we pulled some of your comments that you all have been leaving us from past episodes - THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LOVE!

Why I'm NOT Looking Forward To Marriage

Are we liking the new non-traditional intro? We’re trying something new, we don’t know if we’ll keep it but if y’all are into it, then we just might! Also, can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Nabat aka @Sukar Nabat has FINALLY joined us ON camera!!!! Go follow her on IG and Tiktok…she has a nice voice 😁In this week’s episode, we talk about Amir’s memory issues AGAIN. Somebody get this man a doctor ASAP😩. He explains how the fear of forgetting has pushed him to have such a rigid routine that he doesn’t like to steer away from.Of course we (Nabat and I) decided to unpack that to try and figure out what the deeper issue was Hello potential trauma response?? Amir then asked us what we were and weren’t looking forward to in marriage…and btw I know what you’re all thinking…why are 3 single people talking about this…we all have hopes and dreams ok?! 🥺Lastly we spoke about the “tough” choice that has to be made when one is trying to excel in their career but also has to be there for and in some cases protect the safety of their family (we’re talking about you, Kanye) Thank you so much for stopping by and listening!

Once A Cheater, Always A Cheater

Ok, ok I know...the title for this week's episode is a bit intense and definitely a strong statement, but who's really going to disagree with that? In this week's episode, Amir tells us about his weird dreams and how he slept in for once in his life (and how that kind of ruined his day). We also spoke about some Canadian news lol...a high school teacher in Oakville claimed to be a transgender and dressed up to try and prove a point (allegedly). Next, Amir broke down the premise of Season 3 of Ramy and whether he felt like it was a fair representation of Islam/Muslims. Next we spoke about the latest scandal in the YouTube community - The Try Guys. Lastly...of course we are complaining about Toronto's increased cost of living and how much we want to LEAVE lol.
