Former Singer On Moving to Saudi Arabia, Finding Islam & Settling in Egypt

In this episode of the Make Hijrah Podcast, Br. Abdus Salaam, from the Happy Ummah Channel, shares his journey from growing up in Chicago in a Muslim family to pursuing a career in Los Angeles as a singer before ultimately moving to Egypt at age 35. He reflects on his initial aspirations of fame and meeting celebrities like Snoop Dogg in Hollywood, but over time, his priorities shifted. The passing of his mother sparked his deeper connection to his faith, leading him to focus on prayer, learning Arabic, and eventually making the move to Egypt. He also shares insights into the challenges of living in Egypt as a Westerner and the importance of continuously seeking knowledge and self-improvement in the path of Islam.
