Assalaamu'alaykum,

Experiencing pressures in life is something every one of us can relate to at some point or another - whether it's managing our job, facing conflicts, taking care of our family or dealing with extreme personal challenges.

The constant push and pull of responsibilities, the wei...

Assalaamu'alaykum,

Let’s face it, holding yourself accountable is no easy task.

When we take a look at ourselves, often our mirror is obscured.

There are smudges on the surface, helping to keep the parts of us that hide, still hidden.

There are parts of the mirror that are fractured, giving us...

Assalaamu'alaykum,

Some of you may recall I wrote about my experience with a camel on a recent trip to the Middle East. 

I had intended to ride one of these remarkable desert creatures and even took a photo right in front of one, but in the end, I never actually got to sit on one during that par...

Assalaamu'alaykum, 

Every moment is brimming with countless blessings, far beyond what you can tally or comprehend. These blessings are like hidden treasures that await your discovery.

Allah says in the Qur’an:

“And He gave you from all you asked of Him. And if you should count the favor [i.e., b...

Assalaamu'alaykum

The past month has shown me once again that our plans are fragile at best. 

We meticulously plan our days, weeks and sometimes even the months and years ahead – but in reality, the next moment will only unfold according to the superior plans of Allah ‘azza wajal.

Assalaamu'alaykum,

Focusing on the quality of our actions, even if they're fewer in number, is far more important than rushing through tasks just to check them off a list.

Allah SWT continuously reminds us that it’s not the size of a deed that counts, but the weight of the intention behind it. 

Assalaau'alaykum,

Assalaau'alaykum,

Last week, as I prepared for my journey to the Middle East, I said to my children,

“I will not leave the desert without riding a camel, InshaAllah!”

I’ve never ridden a camel before but of course, with my love for adventures, animals and nature, it’s something I’ve always want...

Assalaau'alaykum,

What happens to our souls when we lower ourselves in Sujood?

As we step into our prayers, most of us have a simple goal: to stand with mindfulness and connection. However, in today's chaotic world, it's a challenge and feels almost impossible to achieve. Our minds are like over...

Assalaamu'alaykum,

Think of the person you love the most on this planet. 

Now think of the reasons behind your affection for them. 

You might be thinking of your beloved mother, who tenderly envelops you in her warmth, compassion and unconditional love.

Or it could be your spouse, who protects y...

Assalaamu'alaykum,

No one likes to think of themselves as ungrateful.

For it’s an ugly word and an even uglier state to fall into. 

But, let's be honest, how often do we pause and assess whether our words and actions reflect a grateful heart?

If we examine our human design, research suggests tha...
