Awakening the Soul: Nurturing Spiritual Growth in a Chaotic World

What weeks of sickness taught me

Assalaamu’alaykum,

Health is one of those blessings you never want to waste yet it’s one the Prophet ﷺ told us many of us would waste… sadly.

And these past few weeks have been a big “wake-up call” reminder of that for me.

Last month, I had the next four weeks mapped out. My launch prep, a TV int...

Don't be too quick to give up on difficult people

Assalaamu’alaykum,

There are some prescriptions in the Qur’an that aren’t so easy to follow. But the word prescription itself indicates there’s some healing in it, even if it tastes bitter at first.

This is one of the miracles of the Qur’an. Allah’s words often guide us toward actions that confron...

A personal moment I hadn’t planned to share

Assalaamu’alaykum,

I thought many times before sharing this, as I wanted to be clear about my intentions. But subhanAllah, the reaction I had from the few I shared it with was enough motivation to make a sincere duaa that this inspires anyone who needs to hear it.

How Allah lifted me through a recent struggle

Assalaamu’alaykum,

I’ve been a little quiet on social media lately.

Something had been weighing heavy on my heart and I couldn’t quite place it.

It felt like a ball of tangled string and I didn't quite know where to begin unravelling the strands. Along with that came worry, hesitation, indecisive...

The Freedom That Comes from Turning Inward

Assalaamu’alaykum,

As they say hindsight is 20/20.

And it’s true! When I reflect back, I can see that my first instinct was always to look outward before turning inward.

If something (or someone!) upset me, my attention would go straight to what others said or did. That made me sensitive, quick t...

But these moments are chosen for you by the Divine.

They come with essential learning and open up your sights and senses to the reality of...

My Heart Was Shaken by This One Comforting Truth

Assalaamu'alaykum,  

As I placed my head in sujood, reminding myself that I was bowing down before the King of kings, it hit me.  

When you see the “servants” of this world bowing before the kings of this earth, there’s always a significant visible distance - a space deliberately kept.

When it feels like you're not doing enough...

Assalaamu'alaykum, 

I had a moment this Ramadan, though we’re only a few days in, where it felt like this blessed month was slipping through my fingers. 

I haven’t done enough. I’m not making the most of it. I should be doing more. 

The thoughts swirled in my mind, until a heaviness settled in.

Three Years, Many Lifetimes, One Clear Truth

Assalaamu'alaykum,  

Today marks three years since my husband’s soul was returned to Allah.   

Three years. SubhanaAllah.  

I feel like I have lived many lifetimes inside of these three years. 

In some ways, I feel like I was meant to become an entirely different person through this test.  

A t...
