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.Sidi Mustafa Davis’ timeline follows many in the ‘90s who took their shahada and travelled overseas seeking knowledge. He converted as an atheistic college student after finding clarity in Surah Mariam. Soon after, he met Shaykh Hamza Yousuf and his teachers in California. That led him on a journey to Mauritania, Spain, the UK, Syria, and eventually Yemen with his friend and travel companion Shaykh Yahya Rhodus.While in Tarim, Yemen, his path took a different direction. Habib Omar advised him that  media production would be his path to Allah swt. And so he began his work with Habib Ali Al-Jiffri at Guidance Media and Tabah Foundation مؤسسة طابة. After returning to the U.S. in 2008 he started his own production agency called Mustafa Davis Studios, which he hopes to use to tell stories that would otherwise go untold.Today he is in Turkey studying with Shaykh Mokhtar Maghraoui, running his production studio and teaching a full-time film training program. In this episode, he takes us on a journey around the world, sharing advice from his experience as a student and an artist and how his work has become a means for him to seek nearness to Allah.  He’s met many beautiful teachers and befriended many familiar names along his journey: Shaykh Murabit al-Hajj and his son Shaykh Abdur-Rahman, Shaykh Murabit Ahmad Fal and his son Shaykh Abdullah, Shaykh Khatri, الحبيب عمر بن حفيظ - Habib Omar, Habib Ali al-Jifri, Sh.
