He reflects on his family's attempt to move to Egypt when he was younger, only to return to the UK due to the struggles of settling down. Despite the challenges, the memory of that experience stayed with him, fueling his desire to come back years later to seek knowledge and a deeper connection with his faith. Through trials, setbacks, and a personal transformation, Idris takes us through the moments that shaped him into the person he is today.This conversation dives deep into the realities of living in the West as a young Muslim, the temptations and distractions that pull people away from faith, and how social media can be both a blessing and a curse. Idris opens up about his past successes in business, the facade of online success, and the moment he hit rock bottom—leading him to question everything and ultimately turn back to Islam. He details his transition from running a successful fitness business to selling fragrances, hustling in the streets, and eventually using social media to build a meaningful brand rooted in authenticity and purpose.Now, as he settles into life in Egypt, Idris reflects on the sacrifices, the peace he has found, and the journey of learning Arabic and strengthening his relationship with the Quran. This episode is packed with raw, unfiltered life lessons about perseverance, faith, and the importance of seeking knowledge. If you’ve ever considered making Hijrah or felt lost in your own journey, Idris’s story is a powerful reminder that sometimes losing everything is exactly what you need to find your true purpose.
