About | Muslim Media Hub

Our History

For over two decades, our television show Let the Quran Speak has been at the forefront of transforming public conversations about Islam, showcasing the rich diversity of Muslim experiences. Led by Dr. Shabir Ally and Dr. Safiyyah Ally, the show presents a Canadian Muslim identity rooted in optimism, learning, and respect for diversity. Building on this foundation, we established Muslim Media Hub to empower Muslims in the media industry, aiming to reshape perceptions and foster understanding.

The Challenge

In many media portrayals, Islam and Muslims are often seen through a limited lens, which can overlook the rich diversity and positive contributions of Muslim communities. These narrow perspectives shape public perceptions in ways that don’t fully capture the true essence of Muslim life and can leave Muslim youth searching for positive reflections of themselves in the media.

Our Vision

At Muslim Media Hub, our vision is to become a pioneering force in media, transforming the way Islam and Muslims are perceived globally, particularly in the West.

Our Mission

To cultivate a vibrant community of Muslim creatives, media professionals and industry leaders who come together in a dynamic, innovative space to create impactful media that fosters understanding, challenges stereotypes, and builds bridges between communities.
