Islam Beyond the Stereotypes – What They Don’t Tell You.

Welcome to the very first episode of Beyond the Shahada—the podcast that’s here to help you explore, understand, and fall in love with Islam. I’m your host, Bree Shaaban, and in this debut episode, we’re diving into one of the most talked-about yet misunderstood topics: What does it really mean to be a Muslim?

From breaking down the basics of Islam to tackling the biggest misconceptions, this episode is your ultimate guide to understanding the faith beyond the headlines. We’ll explore:

• What “Islam” and “Muslim” really mean (hint: it’s simpler than you think!)

• Why Islam gets such a bad reputation—and how to see past the stereotypes

• The surprising connections between Islam and other major religions

• How the Quran’s message has been preserved for over 1,400 years

Whether you’re a new Muslim, curious about Islam, or just looking to broaden your perspective, this episode is your warm, welcoming, and relatable starting point. No jargon, no judgment—just real talk and fresh insights.

Tune in to discover the beauty, simplicity, and truth of Islam. Let’s strip away the stereotypes, share personal stories, and see Islam through fresh eyes. Ready to learn, grow, and thrive together? Hit play and join the conversation.
