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...

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...

Assalamu alaykum,

To the weary hearted, never lose hope.

Life’s challenges come in seasons and no hardship is meant to last forever.

If you feel like you're on a sinking ship, trust that Allah SWT will send you a life raft in the right place, at the right time.

If it seems like you’ve been throw...

Assalaamu'alaykum,

I understand - life can feel like a rollercoaster sometimes.

One minute, things are going smoothly and the next, you’re feeling the sting of someone’s unkind words, or plans take an unexpected turn, leaving you frustrated.

Or maybe you’ve been waiting for a duaa to be answered,...

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 ...

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,

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.'” [...
