In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Mercy-Giving; all praised belongs to Allah, and may the peace and prayers of Allah be upon our master Muhammad, the opener of what was closed, the seal of what preceded, the helper of the Truth with the Truth, and the guide to Your straight path, and upon his family a prayer that is commensurate with his grandeur in space and time.

Welcome to the FloodPlains, the first podcast of Its kind to continue the service of bringing the works of West African Islamic scholars to English-speaking audiences and exploring the ways in which these scholars and their writings speak to our lived realities, and inspire us to become the Muslims that Allah the Exalted created us to be, reminding the world of the amazing wonders of Islamic knowledge that He placed in the hearts of these saintly Black people, irrigating our communities with the blessed waters of the Divine, and engaging with special guests and the fruits they bear from this flood.
