Episode 401: Imran ibn Mansur

FAISAL & SAM
About this episode

Imran ibn Mansur (formerly “Dawah Man”) sits down with Faisal to unpack the rebrand, the regrets, and the mission he’s now chasing.

He explains why he “killed” the Dawah Man persona, the context behind viral clips from the masjid, and what changed as he started working with 7–9 figure Muslim entrepreneurs.

We get into his “Victory Code” (7 pillars for building anything that lasts), the danger of the tongue for creators, platform nuance (Snapchat, social media), leadership, and how to run Muslim projects with real data, KPIs, and vision.

Imrān also addresses past tensions, why he took a video down, and what Righteous & Rich / The Cave actually do.

What we cover:

  • Why he “killed” Dāwah Man (brand, audience, leverage)
  • Viral masjid clip: the full story and what he learned
  • Regret, reconciliation, and removing a video
  • From street da‘wah to serving CEOs & founders
  • The “Victory Code”
  • Building Muslim networks that move capital, talent, and impact
  • Books shaping his thinking (Built to Last, Insanely Simple, Actions of the Heart)
