Show notes
In this episode we sit down with Imam Shuaib Khan — martial arts instructor and author — to talk about what positive masculinity actually looks like in Islam, and what it means to build yourself into someone ready for marriage.
We cover:
• What the Quran and Sunnah say about the roles of men and women in marriage
• Practical advice for single brothers on becoming "valuable" before pursuing marriage
• What sisters should actually prioritize when evaluating a proposal — deen and character over surface-level dealbreakers
• Why sisters being trained in self-defense matters, and the story of Nusaybah bint Ka'ab
• A recommendation for good halal food in Fairfax, VA, and Shuaib's book on the fiqh and adab of phone use
Find Shuaib's book, "The Fiqh and Adab of Carrying a Cell Phone," on Amazon.
