Hilmi Anwar | Muslim With Muscles

This week we have Hilmi Anwar on the pod!

Hilmi Anwar, is a passionate fitness coach and community builder. He's the founder of Muslim With Muscles, an interest group that uses fitness and wellness to bring people of all backgrounds together.

Hilmi shares inspiring stories about using health as a unifying force. As one example, he tells the poignant story of a non-Muslim friend who was deeply impacted by learning about Islamic values. Despite originally having a narrow perspective of Islam, the friend began reflecting on his biases after noticing the inclusive community atmosphere at Hilmi's mosque. Hilmi then built a bridge through open dialogues over training sessions, helping expand his friend's worldview.
