- Established in our careers with kids of our own, people begin to look to us for guidance. Are we prepared to show up with purpose at work, at home, and in our communities? How can faith inform the roles that we’re expected to embody in our lives? Sami Hamdi joins Sh. Abdullah Oduro and Co-Host Waleed Gabr to discuss how his connection with Allah drives his purpose and career in politics, and how-if you pay attention-everything is politics.

whenever I'm feeling hopeless with the current genocide in Palestine, I just listen to any of Sami Hamdi's talk and boom! All fired up! 🔥🔥🔥 His passion is truly contagious!
A specific talk?
Ditto. I’ve been following him since all this started and his talks really help me. The brother had a genuine faith and enthusiasm that is infectious. May Allah reward and keep him for the Ummah🤲🏼🧿✨
Yes!!! Sami hamdi’s may Allah reward him for all his work
@@HumbleConfidenceESwatch the thinking muslim
Same here may Allah bless him.
I’m honestly addicted to the way Sami hamdi speaks. He articulates everything in the ummah perfectly
Allah bless all the mothers and sisters of our umma.
Ameen❤
SAMI Hamdi you have changed my perspective on how I perceive Islam and the connectivity with politics. I feel empowered and want to read about Islamic history more and more
May Allah protect sami hamdi and level him up 🤲
Sami is inspiring a generation of political activism centered on Islamic principles
Smiling ear to ear. What a fruitful discussion
Subhanallah listen to our brothers, wallahi not one other group of people could bring out this level of beauty and eloquence. Only the inspiration of Islam Mashallah. May Allah increase these brothers and expand there influence over the Ummah
I met brother waleed when i was 10 (i am 23 now). He came to my school to raise funds for Islamic relief and i got to shake his hand after. He complimented my firm handshake and told me a story about his coach telling him that “a handshake says a lot about a man and that it is important to have a good handshake”. It has been 13 years since then and i still remember him.
Subhanallah he pops up on my CZcams while I was looking for a sami hamdi video.
How is the handshake now?
Waleed is a great Brother. Humble and Kind. May Allah protect him and family. He is working
for Allah.
Sami Hamdi always brings joy to me when listening to how enthusiastic he is humdullah
Sami talking about his wife is so beautiful, reminds me so much about my relationship with my wife. May Allah keep the brothers (and myself) grounded and steadfast
Thanks Sh. Oduro and guests for the programme. Jazakallah.
My favourite host Abdullah Oduro. Beautiful setup, brilliant guest Sami Hamdi
Sami you need your own show please!! You are such a light!!
I was blessed to be Sami's witness at his civil marriage. Well done to you Sami, keep it up habibi Sami ❤
The return of our beloved sheikh Abdallah ! Al-hamdoullilah, it's an excellent program that is really needed in our time ! May Allah put Baraka in your efforts, amin 🙏
Allahumma Amin ye Rab
MashAllah brother Sami Hamdi MashAllah! We need more from you !
Masha Allah tabarakallah!
Masha Allah, masha Allah.
Outstanding talk, dear Brothers. Jazakumullahu khayran kathiran.
MashaAllah it’s so beautiful when you finally say it and truly feel it. This last Ramadan changed me alhamdulilah, Allah put ease and love of the religion in my heart no one else. I put on the niqab started praying again 5 times a day… before I was praying just not all the time and I took the hijab off 4 times sub7anAllah. But last Ramadan he changed my life. And I’m forever grateful. I finally got everything he was trying to tell me for so many years. And I became Muslim at 19 as well. I’m 29 in June and just starting to truly learn Islam and my mission and purpose. And it’s all that’s to Allah. Allah please continue to guide me inshaAllah Ameen.
I've listened to Sami Hamdi to such a great extent over the past few months that I've memorized his life stories lol, his words brings so much comfort and hope in these turbulent times. In fact, everyone at Yaqeen feels like family now. These videos are real gems for me, and while I wish they were available to me in my twenties, I can only feel all the more grateful they have come to me in my thirties when I can do my best to make the most of everything I learn from them.
Masha Allah Tabarak Allah great chat from our dear Sheiks May Allah preserves you guys and gave all Jannahtul Firdous Ameen ya Rabb . Praying for my beloved brothers and sisters in Palestine 🤲🏽❤️🇵🇸
Mashallah subhanAllah beautiful and very insightful talk
My jaw hurts iv had a smile ear to ear for the entire duration of this podcast. Alhamdulilah for being a muslim
I pray that all of you have lives full of Baraqah and very long. . . Sami Hamdi is unabashedly sharing how he was blessed with women(his mom and wife) around him. . .
He has Khadijas (r.a) in his life. May you all be exceedingly be blessed.
Ameen

Sami hamdi you are a legend brother you make us proud and full of hope
This was such a refreshing conversation! I’m excited to watch more episodes
سبحان الله وبحمده عدد خلقه ورضا نفسه وزنة عرشه ومداد كلماته
SubhanAllah wa bihamdihi 'adada khalqih wa rida nafsih wa zinata 'arshih wa midada kalimatih
Can’t wait!
Brother Sami . I request you to start your own weekly show. We need guidance on how we see global politics and how we analyse the situations. We need the insight and understanding of the status of umma in today’s world. We need to learn how to connect current events to the course Islam is taking. Youngsters of ummah need this knowledge as they’re the one who would shape the future of ummah. We’ll be happier if you consider this suggestion and help us with our poor knowledge and insight.
Al hamdullillah may Allah reward you all Ameen
Al salamu 'alaykom wa rahmatu Allah wa barakatuh my dear ones !
This is genius. ❤ MashAllah.
35:20 I've also come to the same realisation myself about marrying young, sharing the ups and downs WITH your wife while you are building that 'fortress'
What an inspiring talk. May Allah always used us for good. May we be a blessing in people's lives and not a trial. May Allah infused this Ummah with mercy and kindness. Allah is sufficient for us.
Great podcast
Asalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu from across the pond here in the UK 🇵🇸

(Watching from India)
May Allah bless brother Sami Hamdi for his passion and drive for the betterment of the Ummah, but an elder or scholar should sincerely advise him regarding having adab with the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam) when speaking about him. 53:02 is an example of this as well as a few others, may Allah guide us all.
Please start bringing Ramadan content
