<p>Her Excellency is a Saudi tech-diplomat shaping the future of the global digital economy. As the founding Secretary-General of the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO), she leads international efforts to bring governments, innovators, and institutions together to ensure technology becomes a force for inclusive and sustainable growth.

<p>Mustafa is an author, historian, and creator of the acclaimed ‘Beyond Bilal’ lecture series, for a wide-ranging conversation on faith, identity, and the often-overlooked contributions of Black-Muslims throughout history.</p><p> </p><p>Mustafa shares the personal story of how his journey into Islamic scholarship began, and what inspired his mission to shed light on the rich, global legacy of Black-Muslim communities—from West Africa to the Americas. He opens up about how his own identity has shaped his scholarship and activism, and how he navigates the tension between Western academia and traditional Islamic knowledge systems. We dive into his latest book, ‘Islam and the Making of the Modern World’, discussing the key takeaways he hopes readers will walk away with, particularly around Islam’s impact on science, philosophy, and global civilisation.</p><p> </p><p>Mustafa reflects on the power of storytelling as a tool for education and transformation, and why he believes it’s essential for reaching younger generations of Muslims seeking to reclaim a sense of pride in their heritage. We also unpack deeper philosophical questions on whether or not suffering is necessary for growth in today’s world.</p><p> </p><p>Finally, we touch on the marginalization of Black-Muslims in Islamic history, the steps needed to reframe that narrative, and the unifying spiritual threads that connect diverse communities around the globe. With insights both intimate and intellectual, this episode is a powerful reminder of the resilience, beauty, and global significance of Black-Muslim contributions to our shared story.</p><p> </p><p>Mustafa Briggs</p><p>Instagram https://bit.ly/4j7gRfL</p><p>Byond Bilal on Amazon https://bit.ly/4jYblgO</p><p> </p><p>Presented By KAFD App https://apple.co/4e9BdU0</p><p>Website https://bit.ly/3YktQUI</p><p>Instagram https://bit.ly/3YFpWGn</p><p>X https://bit.ly/3LMJOzi</p><p>LinkedIn https://bit.ly/3A0b2QJ</p><p>Saudia Website https://bit.ly/495n6fB</p><p>Instagram https://bit.ly/3UgTTdA</p><p>X <a href="https://bit.ly/4beIQY8">https://bit.ly/4beIQY8</a></p><p> </p><p>Whoop</p><p><a href="https://join.whoop.com/gb/en/moshow/">https://join.whoop.com/gb/en/moshow/</a></p><p> </p><p>Noon Instagram https://bit.ly/3XRScUY</p><p>Website https://bit.ly/44lnA1S Whoop https://join.whoop.com/gb/en/moshow/</p><p> </p><p>Pizza Hut Jeddah</p><p>Instagram https://bit.ly/3T87mjt</p><p>Website http://bit.ly/3UtnkWq</p><p> </p><p>Tim Hortons Instagram https://bit.ly/3UQDk6u</p><p>X http://bit.ly/3AgbAPi</p><p>Website <a href="http://bit.ly/3LgUres">http://bit.ly/3LgUres</a></p><p>IWC Instagram https://bit.ly/44dxbFW</p><p>Website https://bit.ly/43K8JMk</p><p> </p><p>Credits</p><p>Mustafa Briggs | Guest</p><p>Mo Islam | Host Founder</p><p>Ryan Ismail | COO</p><p>Faisal Nejaim | Show Manager</p><p>Gregoris Kalai | Head of Strategy</p><p>Tito | Creative Director</p><p>Youssef Hamieh | Production Manager</p><p>Powered by "STUCK?" | Translation</p>
