Awakening the Soul: Nurturing Spiritual Growth in a Chaotic World

A quiet strength

Assalaamu’alaykum, 

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

Have you stopped to smell the roses lately?

Assalaamu’alaykum, 

When was the last time you stopped for a moment to let your senses soak in the abundance around you, with a conscious heart and mind? 

We know gratitude is part of our faith. We nod our heads and say,

A powerful reminder I recently received

Assalaamu'alaykum,

I wanted to share something from a recent Shukr Circle we had inside of our Breaking Barriers group. We were reflecting on verse 10 of Surah Al-Kahf:
