This episode features Mohammad Saleh, a young Palestinian journalist with Middle East Eye, whose fearless reporting challenges mainstream narratives and exposes the truths often hidden from public view.

He speaks about the incredible importance of journalism and why we must re-approach the conversation in a world dominated by outlets like CNN, BBC, Fox News, GB News, and others. We also discuss the urgent need for Muslims to become true experts in their fields— so skilled, knowledgeable, and beneficial that their voices cannot be ignored. We need to bring back the importance of Truth in our Journalism.

In this conversation, we explore:

- What it means to witness atrocities in real time, yet see them denied by major outlets.

- How social media journalism is reshaping the global information war.

- The power — and cost — of telling the truth as a Palestinian journalist.

- Why independent voices now reach millions, while traditional media struggles to maintain credibility.

This episode is dedicated to Anas Al Sharif (رحمه الله), his family, and all the courageous journalists and heroes of Gaza who risk — and sacrifice — their lives to keep the world informed.

In the last 18 months, a new generation of youth have been activated as a response to the state of the Ummah, and more specifically the genocide in Gaza. Since October 7, the world has changed permanently at a very rapid pace, leaving many in this new generation of activists and beyond struggling to properly analyze the events that are happening. Especially in the age of fake news and media double standards, how can youth develop a correct sense for political analysis in a way that benefits the Ummah? With us we have expert political analyst Sami Hamdi to teach us his secret to political analysis.
