One thing with Raheem, even though I’m a supporter of this pod, he’s always coming across as someone who’s lazy. He’s so out of tune with pop culture and seems like he doesn’t research or put effort in the actual content. The set production etc is good but you can tell he’s not knowledgable and educated on stuff.

@Pz_23_yi 5 ай бұрын

@@Pz_23_yi yes, being a podcast host of such, one should be in tune with current things, at a basic level. Or you don’t understand what’s meant by popular culture 🥴

Moreover, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of earning a livelihood in a halal manner. He said in a hadith, "The purest food is that which you eat from your own earning." Conversely, earning haram money can lead to negative consequences.
