In this week's episode we tackle a subject that has long been a subject of political discourse, especially when it relates to the carceral system within the United States.
I've covered the subject of addiction before on the podcast, but in this episode I interview, Ustadh Tabari Zahir, the founding director of the "Lamps of Light Project". A project dedicated to helping Muslims overcoming addictions through their services and one that also serves to eliminate the stigma around it, so that more people can seek help for it.
Ustadh Zahir, delves into the methodologies of treatment and also how the hardships in his past became the driving force of what he does now.
