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 you want to disappear into the floor.
So I avoided it at all costs.
I tried all the usual “confidence hacks”, I signed up for public speaking classes, gave myself many “just believe in yourself” pep talks, even tried the old “fake it till you make it” approach.
They gave me a quick boost… but the fear always came back.
The real change happened when I stopped following the secular model of confidence and started looking at it through the lens of Islam.
It quickly became clear that the secular approach to confidence can actually be harmful to our faith.
Not only is it often superficial and fragile, but there’s a very fine line between believing in yourself and inflating the ego. If we’re not careful, we can easily slip into arrogance, self-centredness and forgetting that every success is from Allah alone.
I realised that true confidence isn’t about puffing yourself up, it’s about grounding yourself in who you are before Allah.
It’s about knowing that no matter the outcome, He is with you and that’s where your greatest strength comes from.
This was also when I began to see myself as a traveller in this world, striving to move through life with intention, carrying only what matters and preparing for the destination.
When you see life that way, the fear of other people’s opinions begins to fade. You stop performing for the crowd and start walking your path for Allah alone.
The shift from ego-led to spiritually centred confidence was life-changing.
Take the Spiritual Confidence Quiz here to discover where you are right now and how you can begin that shift too.
It’s what helped me overcome my paralysing fear and, with the help of Allah, stand on platforms without that crippling anxiety because my worth and my words were no longer tied to people’s reactions, Alhamdulilah.
I remember a moment, before I found this shift, when I told myself: “If I ever get over this fear, I’ll shout it from the rooftops.” Then I laughed, thinking it would never happen.
But Allah had other plans.
SubhanAllah, not only did I overcome my fear, I went on to create training around this spiritual confidence paradigm shift, teaching it to hundreds of Muslims worldwide. I’ve been blessed to partner with organisations and deliver this training to professionals, homemakers, parents, business owners and many others.
One thing I’ve learned? People may appear confident on the outside, but true strength comes from knowing what drives your confidence...is it rooted in faith or driven by ego? There’s a big difference.
I want you to experience this shift too.
That’s why I created the Spiritual Confidence Quiz based on the Belief Model™, a framework that guides you to raise your self-awareness and cultivate genuine confidence, deeply anchored in your relationship with yourself and with Allah. It’s about aligning your mind, body and soul so you can live with purpose and presence.
It only takes a few minutes and it can show you exactly where you are right now plus the next steps to build real, lasting confidence, InshaAllah.
