The Future Is Muslim Episode 1 - How Do You Solve A Problem Like The Muslims

Maslaha takes a creative approach to tackling long-standing social issues affecting Muslim communities and challenges systems of inequality. We seek to change and challenge the conditions that create inequalities for Muslim communities in areas such as education, gender, criminal justice, health, negative media coverage and a continued climate of Islamophobia. 

Maslaha's range of projects means we understand the multiple identities communities hold, and the multiple deprivations that can exist. Through our projects, we initiate and create spaces for people to contribute, shape, and give a voice to their ideas and actions.

Our new series The Future Is Muslim brings you comedy and conversation. The podcast features sketches, followed by conversations, which explore issues around belonging and identity and the social and political pressures that are placed on Muslims to conform.
