Yaqeen has absolutely knocked it out of the park with their "Why Me?" series. Phenomenal, and ultra relatable. Insha'Allah it serves the ummah with great peace and positivity. Solid interview and cool to see the behind the scenes on this project + general talk on Muslims in movies.

[@TheAnsariPodcast]

Absolutely agree! Thank you for watching🙏

[@sheenihaq5672]

Absolutely.. packed with so much to learn to, I thought I wouldn't have much more to learn Totally makes you reflect on your life

[@AmanahFitness]

What an amazing story… The crazy thing is that it seems Br Noaman had a “Why Me” story of his own that led him to this! He chose to take his Deen seriously over pursuing acting…. And fast forward 8 years, he is headlining a groundbreaking Muslim film production! 😮 May Allah bless everyone involved!

[@TheAnsariPodcast]

Hmmm very interesting and true reflection.

[@Maharib_Imran]

Yaqeen & Dr. Umer is a blessing for us all Alhumdullillah!

[@TheAnsariPodcast]

Alhamdulillah they really are

[@challi5109]

Loved hearing him talk about not having to give up deen to pursue creative passions that historically were not a popular option for muslims. I'm on a similar path right now and this is really inspiring to hear Alhamdulillah.

[@Sunflowersarepretty]

I looked at the thumbnail and was like this person seems familiar and read the title. Its the main actor of the "why me?" Series. 😂 May Allah bless this brother.

[@TheAnsariPodcast]

Ameen! He’s such a cool dude in person too.

[@yalahwey111]

Yaqeen has to release the behind the scenes and outtakes 😭🙏

[@TheAnsariPodcast]

That’s a good idea! I think they will 🧐

[@Optimusprime809]

Noaman's a legend! He could easily have his own podcast or channel and it would do well, especially since his role in the Ramadan series. Likeable guy, down to earth, a proper lad, and he's clearly thoughtful. Your podcast is great too, just discovered it!

[@TheAnsariPodcast]

He’s great mashallah! Check him out on instagram @noaman.farooq10 thank you for watching and thank you for saving the universe Optimus prime 🙏

I watched the whole series going "this brother can't catch a break" But seriously the entire team did an amazing job ❤️

[@nazajalal8094]

[@neneaishabarry5060]

Salam Hassan😊

[@AmiriatRachad]

When I saw the trailer of the why me I wasn't really into it..I thought this year the Ramadan series will be about Allah But then watching the episode it's so deep and reliable..

[@SaasaKids]

It's basically from Allah we come and to him would return 😊

[@RoselinaARahim]

@@SaasaKidsexactly 👍🏻

[@FatimaAhmed-cd3ry]

This actor did a great job like I've been watching every single episode but, I couldn't articulate what I feel in a single comment. Enjoyed this session a lot. Skipped the spoilers obviously. I really want to write a few pages of gratitude and pour my feelings and thoughts on this. How can I send it to them with it? PS. Would love to know this actor's origin. I'm guessing Pakistani but, he kind of looks like an Indian to me.

[@TheAnsariPodcast]

You can follow and message him on instagram @noaman.farooq10 thank you for watching 🙏

[@KnowledgeThirst770]

how we can contact DR. Omar or Sh. Abdallah Oduro?

[@yasmine8164]

But the Dune books later on are not what they seem to be at the beginning. I watched some videos about the later books and it's soo much different than what u believe is happening. I don't wanna give away spoilers (personally i don't mind spoilers but most people do so I can't really explain more than this.

[@aljonamiriljalaidi7681]

Assalaamu Alaykum hassan🤝

[@bkadhim]

hey i know this guy

[@yalahwey111]

He's my age 😭🥺

[@ChromeMan04]

How old is he?

[@maleehaomar6966]

Was his wife his real wife or just onscreen wife

[@TheAnsariPodcast]

It was his actual wife. All actors that required touch or affectionate scenes were relatives in some way shape or form

[@linus3k]

What is this ????
