🎙️ In this special podcast episode, we sit down with KG, a Japanese convert to Islam, to explore his incredible journey — from his early background and curiosity about religions to embracing Islam and navigating life as a Muslim in Japan. We dive deep into fascinating topics: the challenges of the Muslim community, encounters with the Khawarij, being labeled a “Wahhabi,” the pursuit of Islamic knowledge, and the differences within Islam. KG also shares his thoughts on anime, Japanese traditions, the Yakuza, samurai, and ninjas, and how these cultural elements connect with identity and spirituality. The conversation also touches on sensitive and eye-opening realities in Japan — from host clubs and the rise of prostitution to patriarchy, gender roles, and how Islamic manners and da’wah resonate in Japanese society. This is a powerful episode for anyone interested in Islam in Japan, cultural intersections, and the deeper ideas behind anime, tradition, and spirituality. 00:00 intro 01:52 KG’s background 06:47 KG’s curiosity about religions 25:45 Journey in Islam 27:38 The Muslim community 29:25 Encountering the Khawarij 33:32 You’re a Wahhabi! 45:52 Seeking Knowledge 48:14 Differences in Islam 51:47 Anime 01:00:43 Japan and Religion 01:05:37 Dawah in Japan 01:07:53 Islamic manners in Japan 01:10:30 Time Importance 01:15:15 well-being in Japan 01:17:43 Host Club 01:20:45 Rise in Prostitution 01:21:43 Patriarchy in Japan 01:25:08 Women in Anime 01:27:51 Traditions & the Yakuza 01:35:35 The Samurai 01:39:54 What’s a Ninja 01:41:43 The Evolution of Japan 01:51:24 KG’s Personal life 01:53:21 Showing love in Japan 01:55:09 Future Plans 01:56:16 The Emperor & Islam 02:00:24 Why I became Muslim 02:03:32 BONUS: The Ideas of Anime 💡 Don’t forget to like 👍, share, and subscribe 🔔 for more episodes that bridge faith, culture, and identity. #farishammadi #IslamInJapan #JapaneseConvert #AnimeAndIslam #Samurai #Ninja #JapaneseCulture #DawahInJapan #MuslimConvert #KGPodcast #IslamicPodcast
