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: 

"When those youths sought refuge in the cave and said, 'Our Lord, grant us mercy from Yourself and guide us in our matter.'” [...

Assalaamu'alaykum,

It’s incredible to think that while our souls have witnessed the unseen, our minds are confined to the illusions of this world.

I find it fascinating that our bodies, on loan to us from Allah, holds an inner wisdom that our conscious minds can’t fully grasp - and sometimes eve...

Assalaamu'alaykum,

Assalaamu'alaykum,

Are you looking to deepen your connection with Allah through heartfelt and comprehensive du’aas?

I'm excited to share a special resource with you, offered by Sister Rahmah from Paradise Pearls – the Personal Du’a Worksheet: In the Footsteps of Prophet Ibrahim (Peace be upon hi...

Assalaamu'alaykum,  

“Speed is a force.” 

“Slow down to speed up.” 

“Stillness is the key.” 

“Be people of action.” 

And so on… 

Every day, there’s a new theory, a fresh philosophy to jump on board with. And while many carry truth and relevance, I’ve found that your pace, how fast or slow yo...

Assalaamu'alaykum,  

Although each of our paths are uniquely our own, Allah created us to journey together, like a caravan convoy crossing the desert.

Some ride camels, carrying what seems like the weight of the world. Others travel light, moving slowly on foot. Some race head, others pause to c...

Assalaamu'alaykum,

All praise to Allah, I recently travelled to the blessed land of Makkah to perform Umrah and it's left me deeply reflecting on the significance of walking on the very soil where our beloved Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) once walked.

Standing before the Kaaba, the heart of our Ummah, wa...

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.

With open and ...
