“After all that’s said and done, there’s more said than done.” In a very reflective finale of season 2, David & Najah sit down with the patriarch of the Muhammad family as he recounts his journey from being regarded as part of the muck and mire of society to rising to becoming a gracious and peaceful leader, whose support of his community is endless. Imam Dr. Salahuddin M. Muhammad reminds us that we cannot be defined by our past mistakes and that passion, faith, and perseverance can help us to mature into who we are simply meant to be. From a challenging childhood and being wrongfully labeled as a religious extremist to receiving a doctoral degree and empowering Muslim inmates to break the vicious cycle of recidivism, Imam Dr. Muhammad, otherwise known as “The Peace Monger,” has a riveting story to tell, which you won’t want to miss! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/urr/support
