About this episode
📢 Pornography is a silent but pervasive issue in American Muslim communities.. We’re breaking that silence with Alaa Shareef of The Family and You Institute. She brings data-driven insights on who’s watching, why consumption happens, who's at risk, and what we can do about it—because ignoring it isn’t an option.
📊 Who is consuming porn in our communities, and what does that mean for our relationships and faith?
 ⚠️ Who’s at risk? It’s not just who you think.
 🛑 How can families, parents, and partners approach this conversation with love, faith, and practical solutions?
We’re here to talk about real, shame-free solutions for prevention, intervention, and healing. If you’ve ever wondered how to protect your children, support a loved one, or unlearn toxic cultural taboos around this issue, this episode is for you. Key pearl from Alaa on this episode is "compassion not condemnation."
🎧 Tune in now and join the conversation—because the first step to solving a problem is talking about it. Then share this episode with a loved one who may be experiencing porn in some capacity that's harming their imaan, someone who may not know how to get help otherwise.
