Beyond the Hijab is a podcast in which Shaykha Maryam Ismail and Dr. Madiha Tahseen come together to shed light on the experiences of Muslim women—while providing practical insights and guidance.

Some disclaimers: We intentionally explain concepts in a more layman’s manner so that we can reach women across all levels of religious practice and all ages. We recognize that these religious concepts are complex and multifaceted so please refer to additional resources to go in depth—and we will make recommendations where appropriate.

Finally, this podcast is a safe space. We will be bringing up sensitive topics, and even expressing some of our own personal truths. Please be kind and recognize we are all humans and growing in our roles as Muslim women.

Islam is perfect so any mistakes in this podcast are our own.
