Episode Title: “Preacher Moss on Comedy, Identity & Jazz (Part 2)”
Guest: Preacher Moss
Host: Imam Tariq I. El-Amin
Presented by: BAYAN On Demand
🎧 Episode Summary:In Part 2 of this illuminating conversation, Imam Tariq sits down once again with legendary comedian and cultural truth-teller Preacher Moss to unpack the layered role of humor, history, and responsibility in the lives of African American Muslims. From the quiet strength of the community elders to the lessons learned through teaching “severely emotionally disturbed” students, Preacher Moss reveals how comedy isn’t just performance—it’s pedagogy.
Together, they reflect on:
- The wisdom of Imam Warith Deen Mohammed and being called to be a "master teacher" rather than just a comedian
- The spiritual depth behind the Allah Made Me Funny tour and how it rewired communities
- Jazz as metaphor, structure, and survival
- How Muslim identity and Black struggle remain intertwined—and why this legacy matters
- The challenges and joy of crafting creative resistance in a soundbite culture
- The birth and mission of The Shout Out Show
- What it means to live as a Muslim in public with purpose and integrity
This episode is a symphony of memory, laughter, and deep insight—a blueprint for how to be Black, Muslim, creative, and alive in America.
“The classroom is my comedy. And if you can reach the lowest common denominator and lift that up—you lift everybody up.” — Preacher Moss
“We didn’t walk to our Shahadah. We ran to it.”
“Muslim identity without public witness is a missed opportunity for transformation.”
