A Father’s Journey: From Seeking Knowledge to Raising A Daughter In Father2AQueens' first ever podcast, we sit down for an intimate conversation about growth, faith, and the quiet ways life prepares us for the most important roles we’ll ever have.  He opens up about his journey to seeking knowledge, how learning Arabic became a turning point in his life, and how the trials he faced were actually shaping him to become the father his daughter would one day need. We talk about what it truly means to be present—not just physically, but emotionally—for our daughters, and how that presence builds the foundation for their strength, confidence, and sense of self. He shares heartfelt reflections and advice for fathers trying to show up with purpose, and for daughters learning what it means to be cherished and seen. This episode is a tribute to the beautiful responsibility of fatherhood, and a reminder that even in our hardest moments, we might be preparing for something greater than we can imagine.

After 8 months… we’re finally back. Deep Rooted Diaries returns — and Asif is back in the building. A lot has changed. We’ve got our own studio now, a fresh setup, and even deeper conversations on the way. This episode is all about catching up, where we’ve been, what we’ve learned, and what’s coming next. New season. New space. Same roots. Asif's Fundraiser: https://www.justgiving.com/page/the-m... If you enjoy the episode, don’t forget to subscribe and follow along as we continue this journey.

In this episode, we’re talking about something a lot of people feel but rarely say out loud — jealousy between friends, envy, and the pressure to compare ourselves to others, especially when it comes to relationships. We dig into how social media can make things worse — from feeling left out to seeing everyone else’s “perfect” life and wondering why ours doesn’t look the same. We also discuss the reality of the evil eye, and how oversharing online can sometimes bring more harm than good. You’ll hear honest thoughts on:  • Why jealousy can show up even in close friendships  • How comparison quietly steals our peace  • What to do when envy creeps in  • Protecting your blessings from the evil eye  • And what Islam teaches about guarding your heart This is your reminder that everyone’s journey is different — and that peace comes when we stop looking outward and start focusing on what truly matters inside. Tune in for real talk and practical reflections. ———————————————————————— If you enjoy the episode, don’t forget to subscribe and follow along as we continue this journey.

In this episode, we dive into the power of emotional intelligence and how it shapes the way we interact with others.

This episode was very eye opening. We discussed blessings of Allah (e.g. good health & free time) in different aspects. Firstly just how beautiful they are, how we can make the most of them and how we may take them for granted sometimes. Along with this came some very deep and personal stories from us, where we touched upon mental distress and how we overcame it.

For this 1K subscriber special, it was only right we brought in someone very special to us all - our most requested guest so far, our beloved Ustadh Yahya Raaby.  In this episode we discussed heart touching topics such as gaining the love of Allah and ways in which we can get attain this, whilst struggling with the Dunya affairs. We also spoke about what can corrupt the heart, how one can prevent corruption of the heart and how a corrupted heart can be healed. A beautiful topic to watch out for is attaining the sweetness of Imaan. - in particular, what this feels like and how we can continue to experience this feeling.  We couldn’t have asked for a better guest for this special episode and we hope you can benefit from the numerous gems dropped from Ustadh Yahya.

This episode was dedicated to Ramadan. We discussed the beauty of this blessed month, what we can do to make the most of it and how we must strive to continue in this vain post-Ramadan. We also touched upon seeking forgiveness during and after Ramadan. This can be forgiving and seeking forgiveness from others but ultimately turning to our Rabb for completely mercy and forgiveness of our sins.

In this episode we invited a very close brother of ours, Marwan. Marwan was diagnosed with a visual impairment at birth and till this day is still dealing with it. He opens up about the struggles he encountered in his youth but how he then began to see the impairment as a blessing rather than a burden. And this is where we touched on gratitude towards Allah SWT.
