Assalaamu’alaykum,

I don't think we fully appreciate how slippery our thoughts can be.

You wake up, it's hot, you've had a disturbed sleep, you're already irritable, your mind is heaving with everything that needs to get done and the challenge of getting through it all as the temperature creeps up...

Assalaamu’alaykum,

We had a beautiful Breaking Barriers session on Tuesday and I wanted to bring some of that discussion to you because it's such an essential topic and one that deserves our daily attention.

Our guest speaker, Ustadha Ruzi Khatun joined us to speak about strengthening family ties ...

Assalaamu’alaykum,

Your body carries innate wisdom, a natural intelligence gifted by Allah that knows how to move and which way to go without needing to be taught. 

A baby is not shown diagrams of how to shuffle, then stand and finally take those few precious first steps. It gradually begins to mo...

Assalaamu’alaykum,

I'd like you to take a moment to think about what it actually feels like to experience gratitude.

Not the quick Alhamdulilah we say when someone asks how we are or the Hamd (praise) we say mindlessly out of habit while our mind is preoccupied with the next task, worry or respons...

Assalaamu’alaykum,

I pray this finds you well and that your heart is beginning to feel the sweetness and anticipation of these blessed days.

Among the treasures of Dhul Hijjah lies a jewel within the jewel…The Day of Arafah.

A day so sacred and overflowing with mercy that it shines like the crown...

Assalaamu'alaykum, 

Did you know a plane can fly almost the entire journey on autopilot? It can take off, cruise, begin its descent… and unless someone consciously checks the direction, the plane could technically travel a long distance slightly off course without anyone noticing straight away.

Ev...

Assalaamu’alaykum,

Sometimes you hear something you've heard many times before, you hear it again but this time it lands differently. 

I experienced this a few days ago and I wanted to share it with you.

In the personal development space, you hear lots of recommendations that mirror faith based p...

Assalaamu’alaykum,

Something has been replaying in my mind recently… so naturally, I wanted to share it with you today :) 

What is written for you will never miss you.

Let that reality sit with you for a moment.

It doesn't matter how many doors closed. It doesn't matter how many times the timing...

Assalaamu’alaykum,

SubhanAllah, Ramadan always seems to move like sand slipping through our fingers.

Before we know it, we're already knee-deep in the final stretch of the month. And if you’re anything like me, around this point each year I start to wonder with rising sadness...

Have I done enoug...

Assalaamu’alaykum, 

This week inside Breaking Barriers, we had a very powerful session during our monthly Shukr Circle.

The theme was hardships.

Now, gratitude isn’t something we naturally associate with difficulty. But the reflections that emerged were deeply moving and I wanted to share a few w...

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, 

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.
