Masculinity in Crisis: Between Toxic and Weak w/ Dr. Omar Husain
Manage episode 505887137 series 3565222
Masculinity is either glorified or vilified, and single Muslims often pay the price. Women get told to avoid “dominant” men, while men are told to tone themselves down to avoid being toxic. The result? Confusion, frustration, and marriages built on false expectations.
In this conversation with Dr. Omar Husain, we confront the uncomfortable truths about masculinity in Islam. Men are challenged to stop outsourcing their growth and step into real responsibility. Women are pushed to look beyond smooth talk and test whether a man’s character is already rooted in faith.
If you think masculinity in Islam just means providing for the family, think again. This episode will make you question the assumptions shaping your search for marriage.
