The Muslim Marriage Podcast
With Zahra Hassan & AJ
ASalaam Alaykom! Tune in each week as we discuss all things Marriage from a Muslim perspective.
Episodes are hosted by me (Zahra Hassan), and my Husband (AJ) as well as our unhealthy obsession with terrible terrible puns. They're pretty bad, lol.
Why is the Muslim Marriage Podcast boycotting Spotify?
“European defense tech firm Helsing’s 600-million-euro funding round was led by Prima Materia, Spotify founder Daniel Ek’s venture capital firm…and by Shakil Khan, an early investor in the popular music streaming app. Ek is also chairman of Helsing.”
CNBC, June 2025
According to our understanding, the founder of Spotify is both investing in and is the chairman of a company which produces AI Military technology. This is completely inconsistent with our values.
If you are an Android user like we are, then we welcome you to watch our podcast on YouTube, or listen on Muslim Central (the largest free, advertisement-free online platform for Islamic audio and video content).
