Al Ansary Podcast: Mahmoud Elansary and Imam Ahmed Deeb discuss what it was like for Imam Ahmad growing up in the United States as a Muslim. They discuss how he didn't want anything to do with religion and Islam and instead wanted to be cool. How he thought Islam was backwards and wanted nothing to do with his Islam. They talk about what changed, why it changed and how. How he ended up an Imam after going through such deep cognitive Dissonance. This is some of Imam Ahmad's story and how he went about answering some of the most difficult life questions to answer for everyone, especially a Muslim. And they talk about their mistakes in the past and how they pushed through regardless. They talk about how American culture has engrained in us a hatred for Religion and specifically Islam. #islam #muslimpodcast #islamicpodcast #muslim #violence #terrorism
Imam Ahmad Deeb has been serving communities from a very young age. He grew up in Orlando, FL to a family of scholars. His father was an Imam and scholar for 35 years while being one of the main authorities in Quranic recitation in the world; his mother was an educator. His grandfather, Shaykh Ramadan Deeb, is one of the oldest living scholars in Syria. He happily serves as the Imam and Religious Director at the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo, and continues his study of the Islamic Tradition with local teachers in America, and abroad by yearly excursions in England, Egypt, Morocco, and Turkey. In his free time, he loves reading, spending time with his family, watching movies, and doing mixed martial arts; he also travels frequently for community development programs and serves as the Outreach Ambassador for Bayan Claremont, the first graduate school for Islamic Studies and Chaplaincy in the country. He believes the biggest problem in the modern world is one of connection and loneliness; hence, his greatest passion lies in cultivating love and community through education, service, and mindful devotion.
