Assalaamu ‘alaykum,

If you’d told me years ago that I’d one day be speaking on a stage or delivering workshops to large crowds, I would have laughed and said, “Not a chance.”

Public speaking was my biggest fear.

I’m talking heart racing, hands shaking, voice trembling… the kind of fear that makes...

Assalaamu'alaykum,

It's embarrassing to admit, but I had this one major false belief that held me back for years.

I used to think that I shouldn't study or try to memorise too many things at once because my brain wouldn't be able to absorb it all. Like there was some finite limit I'd hit and every...

Assalaamu'alaykum,

Take a moment to ponder over the fact that our souls have seen another realm, but our minds are now confined to this temporary world without a cognitive memory of our previous existence.

But what our mind can't perceive, is a knowledge that is still embedded deep within our body...

Assalaamu'alaykum, 

When life seems to take unexpected turns or when our path appears to steer away from what we envisioned, know that the path you’re on is the one you were always meant to walk.

There was never another reality…just the illusion of our own expectations. 

Holding on tightly to the...

Assalaamu'alaykum, 

There are puddles and then there are oceans :) Allow me to explain… 

When I first entered into the world of coaching, I dove in deep. I studied the human mind and behaviour from every angle - positive psychology, personal development, psychotherapy - you name it. 

I took cours...

Assalaamu'alaykum,

Over the past nine years as a coach, I've had the privilege of working with countless clients facing difficult relationships, helping them break free from the emotional stronghold these situations used to have on them, Alhamdulillah.

Recently, I worked with a client who felt com...

Assalaamu'alaykum, 

Handling difficult relationships, especially with close family or friends, can feel like heavy lifting - draining you mentally, emotionally and spiritually and sometimes even grating down on your physical health. 

It’s no surprise that this is one of the most common challenges ...

Assalaamu’alaykum, 

There are moments when Allah reveals His presence clearly through the events of your life.

Things fall into place in the most unexpected ways and you have no choice but to fall in prostration, in awe of the miraculous nature of Allah, His kindness, His love and the perfection o...

Assalaamu'alaykum, 

When loss happens suddenly, it can feel unreal for a very long time. 

Two and a half years ago, I lost my husband in a matter of minutes. It caught me completely unaware - in only twenty minutes, his soul was returned to Allah.

Just twenty minutes prior to that moment, we were...

Assalaamu’alaykum, 

There’s a duaa I’ve quietly carried with me for years. 

I’ve spoken it through many seasons of change, especially each time I moved, whether to a new area or a foreign country. 

It’s a duaa I’ve called out to Allah, sometimes in anticipation, sometimes through the lonelier str...

Assalaamu’alaykum, 

As we approach the most sacred day of the entire year, a day when the greatest number of souls are freed from the Hellfire, when Allah descends to the lowest heaven and boasts to His angels about His devoted servants, when fasting expiates the sins of years past and to come and ...

Assalaamu’alaykum, 

There's a kind of strength that isn't loud.

It's not in having all the answers or being unaffected by life's tests. It's in knowing yourself well enough to catch the reaction and choose the response that aligns with your faith.

Spiritual growth doesn't mean being composed at a...
