In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Moosaa Richardson translates a fatwaa from Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have Mercy on him) about fasting on the 30th of Sha'baan (the day before Ramdhaan) when it is overcast. Some people think we should play it safe and fast on this day, just in case the crescent is hidden from our view. Learn what is correct from the late Muftee (may Allaah have Mercy on him), and then listen to a few concerns on the issue addressed by the translator for further clarity: the issue of the narrator of a hadeeth being most knowledgeable about its meaning, and the issue of Ibn 'Umar's special status as a devout and vigilant follower of the Sunnah.
