Finding a spouse today feels harder than ever.
Work, eat, sleep, repeat. Remote jobs. Isolated lifestyles. Endless standards. Fewer real connections. So how are Muslims supposed to meet someone in 2026?
In this episode, we’re joined again by Sister Naima Robert, award-winning author, coach, and best known for From My Sister’s Lips, Show Up, and She Wore Red Trainers, for an honest, grounded conversation about love, marriage, confidence, and compatibility in the modern world.
We talk about what’s actually preventing people from finding a partner today, and what needs to change personally, culturally, and communally.

We sat down with Ibrahim Khan, co-founder of Curate Capital and Islamic Financial Group, a fund manager overseeing more than $190 million in assets, to talk about what Muslims should actually be doing in times of uncertainty.
We break down whether to hold cash or invest, what to expect heading into 2026, how global politics and AI are reshaping markets, and why most people feel financially behind even when they’re doing “everything right.”

Why do I feel depressed? What if I dont have any hope in the future anymore? How do I feel joy again? What if I have suffered trauma or great loss? All of these are questions many of us go through and ask ourselves at some point in life. How do you love Allah when you’re exhausted, anxious, or don’t even want to be in this world anymore?What if you pray, fast, and do “everything right”, yet still struggle with mental health, emptiness, and a lack of meaning?In this deeply honest and necessary conversation, Br. Saad Yacoob explains what it actually means to love Allah above everything else, and why this is the one thing Muslims are afraid to fully commit to, and something Western civilization is structurally incapable of sustaining. #mentalhealth #podcast #emotionalhealing #allah #islamicreminder *JOIN OUR YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP*OR*Support Us @* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/OR*Patreon:* https://www.patreon.com/c/theansaripodcast/membership*Join The Cosmos Club Newsletter:* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/cosmos-club#MentalHealth #Spirituality #MeaningOfLife #Psychology #Depression #Faith #Individualism #Hope*Ayubi Collective*FREE 10-Part Masterclass “How to Build Your Own Multi-Billion Dollar Business”https://www.ayubi.com/ansari*Apex Capital:* https://www.investwithapex.com*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com*Humaniti:* https://donor.muslimi.com/page/Humaniti-emergency-Ansari00:00 The Importance of Grief07:50 We Have Mistaken Joy for Love13:36 How to Love again22:00 Why the West Can't Love27:40 Allah is not your teddy bear36:52 How do We Make Allah Real?43:27 You Love Allah but Can't Get out of Bed?51:09 Is Modern Life killing us?01:04:20 What if You're Miserable?01:07:08 What if You Don’t Want to Live?01:09:44 How Do You Find Meaning in Life?01:13:28 What is the Hope for Tomorrow?01:20:23 Final Thoughts*Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast
