In this episode, Shaykh Usman Qamar and Ustadh Abdelrahman Murphy dive into the essential role of third spaces in the Muslim community. These spaces go beyond traditional masjids, offering a place where everyone—especially those who feel disconnected—can find belonging, spiritual growth, and meaningful connections.
Through heartfelt stories and deep insights, they explore how third spaces nurture the soul, foster community, and inspire individuals to embrace their faith in a way that feels welcoming and relevant.
Whether you're searching for your place in the community or passionate about building one, this episode will leave you inspired.
