Why This Shaykh Is Glad The Far Right Exists Al-Ma’rifah Foundation Podcast: Episode 1

With rising hostility towards Muslims in Britain, mosque attacks, media pressure, and growing fear within the community, many are asking: Should Muslims stay in the UK or leave?

In this deep and unapologetic conversation, Shaykh Haitham al-Haddad presents a provocative but principled Islamic response. Rather than panic, retreat, or chasing comfort abroad, he argues that challenges, including the rise of the far right - expose complacency and force Muslims to rebuild confidence, unity, and leadership.
