About
American Submitter is a podcast about Muslims in the West and the spiritual teachings of Islam hosted by Imran Ali Malik. Focused on the lived realities of the teachings of theoretical spirituality, American Submitter attempts to translate what it means to be a conscious Muslim in America. Episodes combine elements of long form conversation, audio documentary, and reflective narration to explore a personal story of religion. These experiments in form illuminate the show's deeper and broader themes: the spiritual teachings of Islam and the reality of Muslims finding their way while living at the western edge of civilization.
