In an age in which cultural confusion is pushing for the ever increasing androgenization of human beings and the increasing blurring of gender differences, it is high time we in the Muslim and faith-based communities begin discussing the importance of a return to sacred manhood and masculinity which seeks to uphold the original purpose of creation with excellence, beauty, wisdom, light and love.
In this episode of Soul of Islam Radio, join myself and coach and counselor Jamil Popatia as we discuss the role of men within the community and the unique roles they must again embrace as pillars of faith and strength so as to better guide and lead ourselves as well as our families and communities towards that which matters most—the divine pleasure of God.
Jamil Popatia is a certified coach and counselor in Nonviolent Communication, and currently coaches young men towards noble and dignified leadership within their homes and communities. You can learn more about Sidi Jamil via his website, Dignified Dialogue.

Salaams…Alhamdulilah, Alhamdulilah…Something I’ve prayed for the last few years as my son n I traversed life through his teen years…It was so difficult to find anyone who could guide our youth towards what it means to be ‘a true MAN’ especially in and day n age where our youth were totally lost, abandoned and left to the world…It maybe alittle late for some in our generation to change from the habits of a lifetime but extremely important for the next generation to find the support and guidance to manhood…My heart is at peace knowing at last our learned spiritual teachers have now realised how important it is to bring those lost and abandoned lambs back into the fold…SubhaanAllah
