Assalaamu'alaykum,

Over the past nine years as a coach, I've had the privilege of working with countless clients facing difficult relationships, helping them break free from the emotional stronghold these situations used to have on them, Alhamdulillah.

Recently, I worked with a client who felt com...

Assalaamu'alaykum, 

Handling difficult relationships, especially with close family or friends, can feel like heavy lifting - draining you mentally, emotionally and spiritually and sometimes even grating down on your physical health. 

It’s no surprise that this is one of the most common challenges ...

Assalaamu’alaykum, 

There are moments when Allah reveals His presence clearly through the events of your life.

Things fall into place in the most unexpected ways and you have no choice but to fall in prostration, in awe of the miraculous nature of Allah, His kindness, His love and the perfection o...

Assalaamu'alaykum, 

When loss happens suddenly, it can feel unreal for a very long time. 

Two and a half years ago, I lost my husband in a matter of minutes. It caught me completely unaware - in only twenty minutes, his soul was returned to Allah.

Just twenty minutes prior to that moment, we were...

Assalaamu’alaykum, 

There’s a duaa I’ve quietly carried with me for years. 

I’ve spoken it through many seasons of change, especially each time I moved, whether to a new area or a foreign country. 

It’s a duaa I’ve called out to Allah, sometimes in anticipation, sometimes through the lonelier str...

Assalaamu’alaykum, 

As we approach the most sacred day of the entire year, a day when the greatest number of souls are freed from the Hellfire, when Allah descends to the lowest heaven and boasts to His angels about His devoted servants, when fasting expiates the sins of years past and to come and ...

Assalaamu’alaykum, 

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

It's not in having all the answers or being unaffected by life's tests. It's in knowing yourself well enough to catch the reaction and choose the response that aligns with your faith.

Spiritual growth doesn't mean being composed at a...

Assalaamu’alaykum, 

During a group coaching session yesterday, we were discussing how easily our thoughts can spiral into complaints without us noticing.

One small complaint turns into a constant murmur in the background… and slowly, that inner noise becomes our way of seeing the world.

It’s subt...

Assalaamu'alaykum,

I’m sure many of us have been in situations where we’ve yearned for a particular outcome, only to see it delayed or not unfold as expected. 

Recently, I’ve been grappling with something for which I’ve been making duaa for quite some time, yet I’m still waiting to see it come to ...

Assalaamu’alaykum, 

I just returned from the mountains of Andalusia, Southern Spain. No distractions, no tech, no rush, just the land, the mountains, the wind, the trees… and the silence.

And subhanAllah, in that stillness, something shifted, deeply.

Being immersed in nature opened up parts of my...

Assalaau'alaykum ,

Have you ever found yourself in a heated conversation, with words pouring out before you could carefully consider them?

It's a typical human experience, where our reactions outpace our thoughts.

However, with a nurtured heart, we can maintain a sense of tranquillity in the face...

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,  

“Yes, I’m grateful for my blessings.”  

But have you let it sink in? I me...
