Imam Kaiser Aslam

Assalamu alaykum, As I begin my own spiritual journey, I want to hear from those who have taken this path before me. This podcast focuses on them and listening to their stories - uninterrupted. My name is Hebah Masood and I invite you to reflect on the trajectories of their lives, and the guidance and blessings provided by Allah swt along that journey. Before moving to New Jersey, I looked into the Muslim community here and the Center for Islamic Life at Rutgers University (CILRU). Long story short -- my Javed Nana (grandma's brother) in Chicago knew of Imam Kaiser Aslam, the chaplain at CILRU, through Kaiser's father. Kaiser had also recently given a khutbah at my old local masjid, Islamic Foundation. I reached out to Imam Kaiser before the school-year, and even though he was just returning from Hajj, he responded right away. CILRU, which is literally a house, has been a cozy and welcoming home away from home this past year. Last winter, I went on an blessed trip with Imam Kaiser and other Rutgers students on my first umrah. This year, CILRU is planning a trip that I'm also hoping to go on, to Jerusalem. It's supposed to be the first of its kind organized for Muslim university students. In this episode, Imam Kaiser talks about his spiritual journey, the path to chaplaincy, and using vacations to squeeze in Islamic classes in amazing locales around the world. - Also available on most other major podcast streaming services including Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox and Podbay. - Do you enjoy this podcast?
