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...

Assalaau'alaykum,

There are moments in life that knocks your world out of orbit, everything becomes scattered and pieces of you become fragile and fragmented…

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...

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.  

The king...

Assalaamu'alaykum, 

Sometimes, reminders come from the most unexpected places, but Allah knows exactly what you need to hear and when you need it most and in His perfect wisdom, He sends them at just the right time. Alhamdulillah.

Yesterday, we held our last session for the Polish Your Heart Ramad...

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.

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...

Assalamu alaykum,

Can you feel the air start to change with the arrival of Ramadan? Like an old familiar friend coming to visit, carrying riches beyond your wildest dreams, just waiting to generously fill your life, heart, and soul with them.

I’m filled with gratitude to be able to run our first R...

To the hopeful soul preparing to embrace the blessed month of Ramadan, this duaa is for you...

May Al-Lateef (اللطيف), The Most Gentle, cradle your heart in His care, ease your burdens and fill your soul with tranquillity and light.

May Al-Ghafoor (الغفور), The All-Forgiving, fo...

Assalaamu’alaykum,

A client once came to me because every time she was around her in-laws, she felt judged and wronged. Even the thought of meeting them filled her with anxiety.

The anticipation of what might be said would weigh so heavily on her that she began avoiding them as much as possible. 

Assalaau'alaykum,

Think of your daily decisions as building blocks and together these blocks create the path you walk on.

As believers, we hope to lay down foundations that are rooted in values such as honesty, kindness, and fairness.

Let's say you're at work, faced with a choice – maybe a chance...

Assalaamu’alaykum,

To be seen is to affirm that you matter… just as you are.

It’s one of the most precious gifts we can give another person: the gift of truly seeing them.

To acknowledge them as they are, to interact without the constant conversation in our minds of what they “need to know” or “h...
