WE thought videos were taking over. However, podcasts are not only followed but loved by many. Who would have thought that in the era of instagram takeover by short videos and visuals, audio could still make a mark?

The Islamic History Podcast
This podcast is a hit among youngsters as it gives them an opportunity to explore history that has often been institutionally sidelined in modern day schools and university curriculums. IHP began in 2015 as an off-shoot of Islamic Learning Materials blog.
The podcast not only deals with history as it panned out but reads it in tandem with Islam as it exists and operates today. In their own words, their website states that they aim at understanding, “not only what happened” but “why it happened”. They have explored the most pressing, integral, significant and instrumental aspects of Islamic history.
