Mosques Are Losing the Next Generation

In this deeply compelling episode of the Safi Bros Podcast, Ahmed and Ibrahim sit down with Sheikh Suleiman Hani for a conversation on Muslim identity, leadership, resilience, and responsibility. Sheikh Suleiman reflects on his Palestinian family’s journey, the powerful story of his father building a mosque from a broken-down warehouse in Detroit, and the racism and Islamophobia his family faced while serving the community. The discussion expands into some of the most urgent challenges facing Muslim youth today: religious rigidity, isolation, the attention economy, toxic social media consumption, leadership failures in our institutions, Gaza, and the need for sincere Muslims to stop waiting and start giving back. This episode is a reminder that every Muslim has something to offer, and that true leadership is forged through persistence, service, consultation, and an unbreakable connection to the Ummah.
