Friday Night Live vs the Y Factor showdown (Plus new exlusive The Brotherhood Tracks)

In their own words "The Y Factor is a weekly radio program that airs once a week between Maghreb and Isha on Thursdays. We currently record our episodes at the Voice of Islam radio station studio in Lakemba, Sydney. We also feature on their frequency 87.6FM."

 As part of Friday Night Live's series on Muslims and the media, we asked the Y Factor crew to come in to the QKradio studios in Fairfield for a relaxed chat about just that. 


Amazing guys (and girl) who have the love of Allah and the zeal for leading the community and providing positive ideals and role models. And we wish them best. 


NOTE: The Y Factor Launch 2012 is come up soon. Make sure you get your tickets and get there ! 


We were also fortunate to get the exclusive opportunity to listen to brand new tracks from The Brotherhood's new album. We got to chat with one of their members Jehad Dhabab  about the amazing new album with feats from international rap stars such as bone thugs n harmony and the outlaws. 

The video is for the first ten minutes only, streaming and downloadable podcast available below as well.  


I'm still experimenting with video production quality so I'll upload a better quality video soon inshallah.

Friday Night Live: (Arabic) Interview with Hanan Turk

Hanan Turk is a famous Egyptian actress. Or so I'm told. I don't much Egyptian movies now adays.
A couple of years ago she donned the hijab and started spending more time getting involved in charities and Islamic Projects. She's in Sydney to raise funds for Islamic Relief's new Sydney Office.

Having met her though, I was surprised by how gracious and down to earth she was.

Hanan Turk, with representatives from Islamic Relief, and Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohammad, the current service Mufti of Australia. 

Apologies to those who don't speak English, unfortunately Hanan's English is not at a conversational level.
We hope you enjoy it.
