The Battle for Our Children - Parenting in the West Dr. Mohsin Ansari

Help us expand our Muslim media project here: Donate to our charity partner Baitulmaal here: In today’s episode of The Thinking Muslim, we are joined by Dr. Mohsin Ansari for a deep and timely conversation on the challenges facing Muslim communities in the United States, especially when it comes to youth, identity, and staying connected to the deen in a rapidly changing world. We explore how cultural shifts, the post 9/11 landscape, and evolving ideas of “progressivism” are shaping the experiences of young Muslims today. Dr. Mohsin Ansari shares practical insights on parenting with intention, strengthening community bonds, and preparing the next generation to navigate higher education and the realities of modern society without losing their Islamic grounding. The discussion also touches on internal migration trends within the U.S., particularly the movement toward states like Texas, and what this means for the future of Muslim communities. We end by reflecting on whether there is a deeper disconnect within the community and what can be done to address it. Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below!
