What does success look like when faith defines your path?
In this episode of the AlMaghrib Podcast, Shaykh Ammar Alshukry sits down with Shaykh Abdulbary Yahya — one of AlMaghrib’s earliest instructors — to uncover his remarkable journey from Vietnam to Seattle to the University of Madinah.
From growing up as one of the only Muslims in his school, to turning down a promising football career, to dedicating his life to dawah — this is a story of identity, resilience, and trust in Allah’s plan.
They discuss:
→ Growing up Muslim in 1980s America
→ The moment he decided to leave everything for Madinah
→ Lessons from his parents and community
→ What studying in Madinah really taught him
→ How to raise youth who choose deen over dunya
🎧 This is one of the most inspiring episodes yet, a reminder that true success isn’t measured by status or wealth, but by sincerity and sacrifice.
