Possession. It is one of the most feared and least understood topics in Islam. Some of us refuse to believe it is real. Some of us are terrified to even say the word out loud.In this episode, we sit together and look at what possession actually is what the scholars have witnessed, what the jinn themselves have said, and what Islam gives us as protection and cure. We also share a story of a young boy whose nightly dua changed the fate of his entire family. This is Episode 4 of Season 5: What Lies Beyond the Visible — our journey into the unseen world in Islam. #BareerahsFaithJournal #IslamicPodcast #IslamicHistory #FaithJournal #MuslimHistory

Magic. Black magic. Sihr. We’ve all heard the word. Some of us dismiss it. Some of us fear it. But what does Islam actually say? In this episode, we sit together and explore what the Quran and Rasulullah actually tell us about magic — what it is, how it works, why it cannot touch us except by Allah’s permission, and what to do if it ever reaches us. We also share a true account of a man who had nothing — no deen, no knowledge, no connection — who turned to Allah in absolute desperation. And was answered. This is Episode 3 of Season 5: What Lies Beyond the Visible — our journey into the unseen world in Islam.

We've all heard it “don't show off, you'll get the evil-eye.” But is it just an old saying, or is it something real? In this episode, we sit together and explore what the Qur'an and Rasulullah actually tell us about the evil-eye where it comes from, why it's real, and how we protect ourselves and the people we love. We also share two true stories, and a moving account of healing through ruqyah. This is Episode 2 of Season 5: What Lies Beyond the Visible — our journey into the unseen world in Islam.

That feeling at night when the house is quiet and something feels — off. Most of us have felt it. Most of us never talk about it. In Islam, the unseen world is not a myth, not a superstition, and not something to be afraid of if we understand it correctly. This episode goes back to the Quran and authentic Sunnah — who are the Jinn, where did they come from, where do they live, and what does Allah ﷻ actually want us to know about them. Season 5 begins here.

We have normalised riba. We call it a loan. We call it a mortgage. We call it just the way things work. But what does Allah actually say about the money we are building our lives on? This episode goes back to the foundation — what is halal rizq, what is riba, and why the difference matters more than we think. And we remember Siraj Ud-Daulah — the last independent Nawab of Bengal — a young man who refused to let a foreign company buy what was never for sale.

We cook to impress. We overspend, we stress, we exhaust ourselves — trying to meet a standard Allah never set for us. This episode is about finding the barakah in simplicity. In the one pot meal. In the humble table. In the home where enough is truly enough. And we remember one of the most forgotten names in our history — the last Mughal emperor.

Have you ever felt something you could not explain? A presence. A cry with no source. A figure that vanished. Islam already has the answer. Season 5 of Bareerah’s Faith Journal is coming — nine episodes on the unseen world. Not with fear. With clarity. What Lies Beyond the Visible. Coming soon.

We have mastered the public version of our deen. The prayer rows are full. But what happens when we close the door? This episode asks why it is easier to be kind to strangers than to the people we live with — and what the Prophet ﷺ showed us about who we really are when no one is watching.
