Episode 237: Pillars App
Abdul Rahman, fifth year medic at UCL, and Tariq Jamal, fourth year computer scientist at UCL, are creators of the app 'Pillars'. November 2020 saw a huge controversy around a leading Muslim app that involved data being sold to third parties without permission from the users. Consequently, that became a light bulb moment for our guests today, who saw a clear niche to solve this problem. Tariq, who at the time was already working on app development, was encouraged by Abdul Rahman's design ideas to materialise the concept. With no financial investment, and a transparent development process via social media, the support for their app rocketed immediately. 📦 GET THE FRESHLY GROUNDED CARD GAME: https://shop.freshlygrounded.com/prod... 💪 Support Freshly Grounded & Our Work: https://www.patreon.com/freshlygrounded ------ OUR FREE ONLINE COURSES 📚NEW: Automate Your Brand: Time-Saving Ways to Grow your Social Media Brand on a Budget: https://skl.sh/3pky0Hc 🤙 Huge thank you to our supporters and Patrons who allow us to keep this project alive: K Millz, Soraya, Nasrin Ahmed, Saira, Dully, Farishtah, Anisa Anshur, Loveley Miah, Hass Hussain, Sadiya haji, Arion Mapp, May_16, Faheem Ahmed, Sumayya Ahmed, Wasif

Episode 236: Abdul Lateef
This episode kicks off with some questions from 'The Game' which gives a little insight into Abdul Lateef's background and journey into Islam, which stemmed from the influence of his best friend's brother at the tender age of 15, until he was ready to embrace Islam four years later. 24 hours after becoming Muslim, he broke the news to his mum. Her initial reaction wasn't very accepting. She worried he would become victim to the media's representation of Muslims. Reminding himself that this test was a test similar to those tests given to the Prophets (may peace be upon them). When they chose to follow the path to Jannah, they were afflicted with trials of rejection that came in the form of their friends and families. But Abdul Lateef took this trial in his stride and persevered. His mum was always suspicious of him, yet, he used this trial as an opportunity to gently talk to her about Islam and invite her to learn more. Not long after, Abdul Lateef explains how her visit to Turkey, and being surrounded by Muslims sparked more interest, and eventually the same friend's influence who inspired him to be a Muslim, inspired his mum. The conversation digresses into lighter discussions where Faisal and Abdul Lateef discuss their ability to switch off during their free time. They also talk about their experiences of the effect of positive influences around themselves, be it the people around them or social media. A powerful and inspiring episode all in all. 📦 GET THE FRESHLY GROUNDED CARD GAME: https://shop.freshlygrounded.com/prod... 💪 Support Freshly Grounded & Our Work: https://www.patreon.com/freshlygrounded ------ OUR FREE ONLINE COURSES 📚NEW: Automate Your Brand: Time-Saving Ways to Grow your Social Media Brand on a Budget: https://skl.sh/3pky0Hc 🤙 Huge thank you to our supporters and Patrons who allow us to keep this project alive: K Millz, Soraya, Nasrin Ahmed, Saira, Dully, Farishtah, Anisa Anshur, Loveley Miah, Hass Hussain, Sadiya haji, Arion Mapp, May_16, Faheem Ahmed, Sumayya Ahmed, Wasif
