In this episode of Beyond The Shahada, I sit down with Crystal, a Muslim content creator and UK healthcare professional who’s made a name for herself on TikTok by turning hate comments into dawah, clapbacks into clarity, and stereotypes into strength.
We talk about:
How she handles online hate with grace and sarcasm
What it's really like being a visibly Muslim woman on the internet
The pressure of being seen as the “perfect Muslim”
Why she started creating content and how her job in intensive care shaped her voice
The serious threats she’s faced and why she refuses to be silenced
How content creation has deepened her connection with Islam
This conversation is raw, witty, empowering and a must-listen for anyone navigating faith, identity, and visibility in today’s world.
