  1. As usual a great episode by Brother Muttaqi.

    Can we get the link to the power project podcast mentioned at the end please?

  2. Assalamu Alaikum,
    Brother Muttaqi, I really enjoy listening to the podcast. It is very educational and entertaining, and I enjoy the way you make it into a storyline. In addition, I like that you always make sure to clarify anything the viewers may be confused about and do a recap at the start of every episode. Finally, at the end of the episode, I like that you put your thoughts and explain what events may not be accurate, I feel this is a very important aspect.
    Also, there is no need to explain the gap between episodes. It is very understandable for the podcast to not take up most of your time.
    Jazak Allahu Khairan,
    Ismaeel

    • Wa Alaykum Salaam Brother Ismaeel,

      May Allah reward you with good in this life and the next, Ameen.
