Dr. Safiyyah Ally and Dr. Shabir Ally explore New Year’s resolutions through a Quranic lens, showing that self-improvement is not a passing trend but a deeply rooted Islamic practice. As Dr. Safiyyah frames the conversation around society’s beginning-of-year push to “do better,” Dr. Shabir explains that Islam already builds regular moments of reflection and renewal into daily prayers, Ramadan, and even a lifetime journey like Hajj. Drawing on Quranic verses about inner change and purification of the soul, they highlight that meaningful growth in Islam goes far beyond ritual worship to include health, learning, family relationships, work, and service to others. They emphasize that when intentions are sincere, everyday efforts (becoming more disciplined, more caring, or more skilled) carry spiritual weight. Dr. Shabir closes with practical guidance on making lasting resolutions, encouraging viewers to set clear, realistic, and purposeful goals so self-improvement becomes a continuous act of faith rather than a once-a-year promise.

A viewer asks, “Can prayer change my life?” Dr. Shabir Ally explains that prayer is not just a ritual, but a force that slowly reshapes a person’s inner world and outward behavior. Drawing on the Quranic teaching that prayer restrains people from immoral and destructive acts, he describes prayer as an immersive period of devotion, repentance, and humility that renews the heart each time one stands before God. Through recitation, seeking forgiveness, and the physical act of submission, prayer deepens a person’s awareness of God in a way that leaves lasting impressions, gradually steering them away from wrongdoing. Beyond the spiritual experience itself, the rhythm of the five daily prayers organizes the entire day around remembrance of God, turning moments during the morning, work breaks, evening, and night into opportunities for reflection and renewal. Over time, this God-centered rhythm cultivates discipline, moral clarity, and compassion, guiding a person toward a life rooted in responsibility to God, care for others, and harmony with all of creation.

Dr. Safiyyah Ally explores how the Quran approaches statelessness and displacement as the reality of being forced from home and searching for belonging. Through Quranic accounts of prophets and communities who were physically uprooted (including Ibrahim, Musa, Yusuf, Maryam, the Children of Israel, and the early Muslims who left Mecca) the Quran places displacement at the center of its moral and spiritual vision. The Quranic stories show how exile shapes faith, identity, and responsibility, while revealing how societies are measured by their response to those who are pushed out. Safiyyah also reflects on how the Quran understands belonging itself, grounding human dignity in God’s sovereignty over the earth and in our obligations toward the displaced.

Zakiya asks why Muslims are required to believe in earlier scriptures (the Torah, Psalms, and Gospel) when Muslims believe these texts were changed and are not followed today. In response, Dr. Shabir Ally explains that this belief is a matter of principle: Islam teaches belief in all prophets and all original revelations sent by God, even if their full teachings and details are no longer preserved or practiced. Just as Muslims believe in earlier prophets without knowing everything about their lives, they affirm that those prophets received genuine guidance centered on core truths like monotheism and accountability in the afterlife. Belief in earlier scriptures also encourages respectful relations with Jews and Christians by affirming shared origins and common ground, allowing Muslims to begin dialogue from agreement rather than division, while still following the Quran as the final and complete revelation.

Reshma’s question opens a thoughtful conversation with Dr. Shabir Ally about what really holds a marriage together. Dr. Shabir explains that while mutual trust is crucial, since suspicion and constant doubt can quietly erode any relationship, the deeper foundation of a successful marriage is keeping God at its center. Without that spiritual anchor, he says, couples become more vulnerable to conflict and division, drawing on Islamic teachings that describe Satan as particularly invested in breaking marriages apart. He describes how shared religious practices, especially praying together as a family, can transform moments of tension into opportunities for humility, reflection, and reconciliation. Even after disagreements, standing together in prayer softens hearts, restores compassion, and makes it easier to admit faults and seek forgiveness. This shared spiritual rhythm, he argues, becomes the steady glue that holds a marriage and family together, a point Reshma affirms as she reflects on the hard work, mercy, and trust required to sustain real relationships beyond the polished images seen on social media.

Dr. Shabir Ally and Dr. Safiyyah Ally answer a question many Muslims wrestle with: is putting women at the back of the mosque Islamic law, or simply inherited custom? Dr. Shabir explains that the Quran is silent on how prayer spaces must be arranged, and while men prayed in front and women behind during the Prophet’s time, Muslims scholars have long recognized flexibility in these arrangements and debated them in light of context and practicality. Safiyyah brings the conversation into the present, pointing out how today’s mosque layouts often leave women out of sight, out of mind (unable to see the imam, hear clearly, or take part in communal decisions) despite women’s active leadership roles everywhere else in society. They argue that Islam does not require freezing cultural practices in time, and that Muslim communities can, and should, thoughtfully rethink mosque spaces in ways that preserve modesty while better reflecting Islam’s deeply egalitarian spirit.
