Support KJ SH❤I'm not Muslim but I'm here to know more Islamic story, thanks KS for this podcast again❤
Glad you enjoyed the story, if anything that sparks your curiosity, I'm here to help man 💪💪💪
Good brother.KS is a good platform,centered.Just pls dont go with Islamist Politics platform.There u will be regret
بارگا الله فيك
yeah keep it up bro😊
Your hunger for the truth, may God guide you brother. Islam is a beautiful as whole
As a nonMuslim I've just got to know there's a Muslim sports brand. As a malaysian I feel proud of malaysia for always being the pioneer for decades in producing and standardising many Islamic retaled products, platforms or institutions. From Islamic banks/studies, investment platforms, takaful, halal hub, halal foods, Quran to modern Islamic architectures (Petronas Twin Towers) and many more you name it. And now we have sports wear. Malaysia is not only unique being multi culture and multi religious but also set many great precedents in Islamic world. Very proud. ✊🏼🇲🇾
may Allah guide you, brother
Thanks to the genius of Tun M
@@MrKubisbatu not only Tun M, gotta thank to Tun Badawi & Dato Seri Najib as well, esp DS Najib cs many of these initiatives and efforts were polished and executed well during his premiership in MoF. For example Takaful, Islamic investment, banks all begun during his era. We were the pioneers in these compared to other Muslim nation, even many countries trying to copy our Takaful & Islamic fund models.
if Malaysia doesnt have cronism, it would have probably overtook Singapore years ago
Yusuf Islam aka Cat Stevens is here in Malaysia already about a week now. It would be nice if you can invite this legendary singer songwriter ⚡
Please do so @kindredstories
As a revert, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to SBW share his experiences on how he dealt with the difficulties and challenges. I am also extremely excited that KJ and SH has started up this new podcast. May Allah guide and bless you all Ameen. Keep up the good work
Sonny Bill Williams is the perfect guest for your 1st show
Absolutely!!!!! Just stepped in from Keluar Sekejap
listening to this podcast reminds me of a quote "kita tak baik, tapi kita cuba jadi baik".
Sonny bill williams ni memang satu figure yang boleh dicontohi. Poadcast mcm ni lah yang sepatutnya orang ambik sebagai contoh. Thank you KS
"I played my best rugby during Ramadhan. La ila haillallah.." i tear a bit.
Hello KS. I'd be interested in learning more from guests from the Muslim communities in the Philippines and other non-Muslim majority countries in Southeast Asia. As a non-Malaysian non-Muslim, thank you for your work and it was a great pleasure to hear this episode. It is clear that Sonny Bill Williams is an all around amazing human being and you can feel that all throughout the interview.
That would be interesting!! I think for the Philippines, I would like to know more about Robin Padilla as he is a Muslim revert and a former actor turns to into a politician. It would be interesting to know his background and how he came to know Islam. But he might be a bit controversial tho 😅. Perhaps KS can try to invite him?
Humbly speaking, I'd also suggest someone like the mayor of Marawi City, Mujal Gandamra, about how the city rebuilding process is going after 2017 and what it's like being in politics in the Bangsamoro region and interacting with the federal government. Same could apply to anyone else involved in local organization in the Moro community. Thanks once again.
Very well done. Heard khabib Nurmagomedov is coming to MY in near future. Would be nice if you guys can have him in your podcast
terbaik jugak ni...
nice nie..kalau jadi
yes, need one from the mma fighter
orang dagestan memang original islam. tapi betul menarik
Pls invite khabib!!!
I am happy for Sonny to find his way to Islam. Can't agree more on the part where he talked about setting visions and finding purposes in life. i am a Buddist but i share his joy being a muslim. In fact most religions are beautiful and peaceful, but the saddest part is that many self-righteous, hypocritical people have been using it as a tool for their own benefit - politically or financially. And these people are usually powerful and untouchable.
To be 200% honest, from the bottom of my heart, this is the best podcast episode I have ever watched since the rising global wave of the podcast industry; really touched my heart, inspired me to be a better muslim and human being overall, thank you Mr. KJ, Mr. Shahril and the man, the myth, the legend, Mr. SBW!
This is going to be amalan jariah for both shahril & KJ. As long as people heard this , both amal are going to be consumed by both you guys
Alhamdullillah
The last question by KJ was mind blowing, showing what a good anchor would do, listened to his story and ask him at the end. It was a powerful question too, showing how far Sonny had come n achieved his lifelong dream of why he started the sport in the first place! I really enjoyed every bit of it, at the same time learnt a lot n reminded of with hardship comes ease! InsyaAllah
Never knew that SBWs mum also reverted to Islam .Bless them . SBW one of the nicest sports dudes out there . A legend , a son , a husband , a brother , a father and devout Muslim ❤️
Both interviewers did their homework, listened, didn't try to the outshine the guest and asked the right questions to move the conversation along. Great job guys! SBW is inspirational as is his life's journey. Looking forward to more 'story telling' like this, Kindred Stories 👍👍
Alhamdulillah,
I watched this video while experiencing the setback of my life, the lowest point I've ever reached. This content made me realize that there is no god but Allah, who can give us peace, and everything is within His plan. Now, I feel grateful and at peace for having this trial. Thanks, Kindred Stories.
Please invite Firdaus Wong Wai Hong. He is so inspiring in dakwah. For this episode this guy is so great n nice guy. His faith for Islam,. MashaAllah,..
No need lag firdaus Wong and the other guy Indian guy always talk bad about other religions. We want to hear positive, loving stories and not create hate on Islam.
@@shahesfelazi8549 who said we want to hear bad thing. We want to hear how they know n love about islam
@@NurulHuda-mn6ti i want to hear normal people people not Muslim apologists, religious people and people who use religion for money and support. They are dishonest and disgusting.
What a way for Kindred Stories to start with a champion, a living legend.💪💪💪
Alhamdulillah... So happy he found Islam. From his demeanor, he seems to be so at peace. Thank you KS for this brilliant first episode.
Truly inspired. When we encounter hurdles in our lives, let's turn to the stories of the previous prophets.
Kalau ikuti kisah Sonny Bill Williams ni memang banyak inspirasi. Sorang anak lelalki yang sentiasa berbakti kat parents dia.
Please invite Dr Jeffrey Lang... He has one of the most interesting stories about converting to Islam and becoming a muslim
Friend i can't find latest news about him. He's still alive? Where is he now? He's still a lecturer?
He is the author of Life of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w), a must read for all..
Airaz ni bakal jadi jenama terkenal tak lama lagi ni. Bakal jadi pesaing sengit GymShark.
What a great ambassador for the Unmah, Sonny Bill Williams really is a genuine brother
AIRAZ ni satu-satunya brand local yang tawarkan produk pakaian sukan Muslim yang berkualiti. Setaraf dengan brand-brand pakaian sport yang ada kat luar negara.
What?? You got Sonny Bill Williams as your first guest?? This first episode coming with a bang!! 💪💪💪
Yeah right? What a bombastic episode!😍
I know right? Very inspirational talk from them😍💪🏻
Please invite Ibrahim X aka Lord Bear to your podscast. He's a new Muslim currently residing in Malaysia. He also has his own apps, Dawahgram in which I think should be introduced to Dawah scene
💯
All I got to say is thank you my fellow Muslim brothers, thank you Sonny Bill Williams for inspiring me deeply through your personal stories and thoughts. Life is all about process and we shall not stop to learn every single day. I will hold up to that quote, "Along with hardship there is ease". Alhamdulillah.
Wow..first guest is a legend..love watching him on the field and in the ring..his trademark was the shoulder charge.
MasyaAllah what a truly perfect guest for the 1st episode. Sonny Bill Williams is truly a special person. Such a humble person. Truly inspiring hearing him talks about his journey. May Allah continue to guide him, his family and all of us in the right path insyaAllah.
That last question struck a chord! It's fascinating how KS both know the right questions and ask them in the most appropriate manner. Big up to Sonny who is inspiring spiritually, physically, and in every other aspect. It's amazing to see fitrah in action and how simple life events can trigger massive movements. Thanks for this podcast. Keep it up!
Perfect guest for the first episode. Being a fan, I idolise him as a rugby player and in sports in general. Playing in the same position in rugby, always trying to imitate how he plays, and definitely his magical offloads! And now I am still idolising him in the way he live his life as a Muslim and how he speaks out for other Muslims around the world. Big Ups KS adn SBW! 💯
Sekolah mana dulu 😊
@@wan.fayhsal eh, Assalam teammate! KL for MSSM 2004 haha. Tapi that time 14/11 la, uni days masuk 13/12. I’m one of the 2 from VI. Hope you’re doing good brother. Salam Ramadhan!
@@azfar_azri hehe Ramadhan kareem bro
MasyaaAllaah. Cerita yg hebat dr seorg yg dikurniakn kehebatan olehNYA. Keep it up utk channel KS yg baru ni. Sejujurnya 1st time aku tgk smp abis podcast KS😄
I like three-way conversations, as all the panels can ask questions and give personal opinions.
next.."The Eagle" Khabib Nurmagomedov..make it happen bro..
really need this on apple podcast or spotify man.
Should consider inviting Joram van Klaveren as his background was also quite interesting
Kene dengar Sampai Habis, Story Sonny Bill ni best, Goodjob Team KS
Truely agree!!
Seriously, this 1st episode touched my feelings and affect me emotionally. Well done KJ and SH. Thanks for sharing your experiences, Sonny
KS is spreading their wings 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Congratulations. Alhamdullilah we need this kind of programme to know more about our Muslim brothers and sisters.
From keluar sekejap to kindred stories..well done guys..i am looking forward to enjoy both podcasts...
Thanks for bringing sonny😍
Power first episod jemput Sonny Bill William🔥
lets spread this new podcast to entire world
What an interview SBW is so real it’s like he’s speaking to you he’s the number one goat 🐐 and I wish him all the best on his retirement and he starts to show people his hard work and discipline to others who are coming from nothing he’s one absolute beast of a man 💪
Listening to SBW’s comments re Adidas & how he is working on his own brand + potential collaboration with Airaz, ignites an inspiration to always showcase that the best dakwa’ is actually being the best version of us, in our respective fields. I am looking forward on islamic financial podcast from KS team & happy to contribute, if any.
We have SBW, we have Mo Salah and many more top notch Muslims out there. Keep inspiring guys!
Wehh powerr siott KJ pakai AIRAZ . Aku dapat tau jenama ni dari kawan aku , kain die sejuk . Black is premium . Kat mana eh nak beli ??

What an episode! Sonny is a living legend!
Thank you KS , please cover the meaning of ramadhan in small snippet as a way to educated non muslim like me. ❤
Way to go Sonny & KS!
That marathon analogy is spot on and hit me hard.
May Allah protect you and other reverts from fitna
Sonny punya aura lain mcm la, aku tersenyum terus dari start podcast.
Respect dgn Airaz brand local yg mmg boleh pergi jauh
Bekas legenda ragbi New Zealand, Sonny Bill Williams sememangnya dikenali dengan seorang yang taat kepada agama Islam

1:17:59 SONNY SEBAKKK
Perghhh terbaik. My guess was right on my comment of guestlist for Kindred Stories on KS channel. Tapi KS Team kena tarik subscriber KS masuk sini. Need more notification
Perfect start ! Thank You Brother Sonny for sharing these podcast and shout out to KJ & Shahril ! 🫡
wehhh, baru jumpe channel ni..power ah korang 💪🏼
Mashallah this is awesome. Hoping you guys can bring Mr. Sami Hamdi. He is such a passionate orator especially with regards to what’s happening in Gaza/Palestine
Oh, yes please! ❤
Dapat Sami mmg hebat
Excellent initiative KJ, SH & Team KS. Way to go KS!
For real it is a good podcast and will definitely watch every single episode
Thank you SBW. What an inspiring stories and journeys. What an inspiring and kind human being. May we all be blessed. Insya-Allah 🤲
Menariknya episod kali ni, dapat dengar perkongsian dari mualaf. Mantap, teruskan usaha dakwah. Kami sentiasa support !
Ng mantap bah perkongsian sidak tok tek,suka mek dengar,bruk first episode tapi best bah denga. Cant wait for the next episode
I harap satu hari nanti i berkesempatan jumpa Duta AIRAZ ni. Fanss Sonny Bill!❤❤
Temuramah yang bagus oleh team "dari kami yg duniawi". Teringat lagi lawak tu KJ kepada MB Sanusi. Alhamdulillah...nampaknya KJ & Shahril juga tidak melepaskan tanggungjawab ukhrawi. Sebagai seorang Muslim, kita harus mempunyai wawasan yg seimbang diantara duniawi & ukhrawi. Secara jujur cuba tanya kat diri sendiri, kalau berlaku pertembungan di antara 2 itu, yg mana satu kita pertahankan dan yg mana satu kita lepaskan? May Allah guide us all to the straight path...Amin
MasyaAllah, what a great first episode!
Had my own share of story when a foreign friend came to KL doing 'due diligence' on embracing Islam. He had tattoo all over his body, and knew that it is haram in Islam. He wanted to join Friday prayers at an old mosque in Damansara, but wasn't given entry unless he wears a long sleeve shirt. He is now back in his home country, as an atheist. Innalillahi wainna ilaihi raajiun.
😢😢
If we reflect on how our Asatizah in Malaysia like to go around in their ceramah, and being asked, "Ustaz/Ustazah, apakah hukumnya jika...". We need to start moving away from being heavily focused on this is halal and that is haram. While the questions are legit and contextually correct, it should not be the focus. Focusing on the don'ts which are absolutely meant for the good, will shy away our brothers and sisters from reverting to the truth in Islam.
@@herleyabdulhamid1518 That ceramah for muslims bro, many of our brothers and sisteres continue to drift away from true teachings, continue to make sins, becoming more liberal etc, a little bit of laughter for our children and youth, you can see not only in Malaysia but in Thailand not only the crowd increasing but there's full of children, different races, different nationality also in the ceramah, but yeah it's only one person, focusing on local language, but we also have people like mufti menk that speak english dan talk about the same aspect also about hukum, answering questions and so on. but yeah the issue in above comment is about the masjid, there's still people in certain masjid got such rigid mindset, lazy and not responsible, they can give coat to him, or just let him in but yeah, it's not about hukum, if you ask asatizah then it's no problem for those tattoo as Allah is forgiving and compassion, there's lot of view among ulama and so on, it's about understanding and compassion, do they ask him why he had those tattoo, is he's a revert or not, that's important aspect on it, not focusing if we need to move away from something etc
@@muhammadshalihinbakhtiar3024 I agree and love your perspective Bro. The keyword in my comment is the word “focus” and not to any specific individual. Let’s broaden the focus on hukum which leads to many to be judgemental. We need more Asatizah to spread compassion and love as well.
May the guy be given hidaya by Allah to embrace Islam despite of anything.
Mmg padu collaboration Airaz dan Keluar Sekejap
Sangat bersetuju!💪🏻
Saya mmg banyak beli sportswear dari Airaz mmg berkualiti. Aurat pon terjaga
