Why do so many young people feel disconnected from mosques? What’s missing, and how can we bridge the gap? In this first episode of Left on Read - Guided Instead, hosts Eshaan and Mustafa dive into this important conversation, joined by Zaki and special guest Moulana Ali Zafar Zaidi.

Together, they explore the real reasons youth feel lost in the crowd—whether it’s outdated messaging, lack of engagement, or simply not feeling welcome. But more importantly, they discuss what can be done to make mosques a space where young people actually want to be.

No sugarcoating, no lectures—just honest, lighthearted, and thought-provoking discussion. Tune in and let’s start the conversation!
