This practical tips reminder is to give things time. A lot of times, we feel like we have to have all hands on deck in every situation, but sometimes, falling back and letting things be is a better approach. Not all good decisions you make will come with immediate rewards. Some things are a test of time and require patience. This ep talks about exactly that :)

This episode is one of the most laid-back and chill episodes that I've had. I had a special guest (one of my close friends) come on and do a late-night talk episode with me, where we answer different questions, reflect, share advice, and more. This episode is more natural and unplanned, but I hope you can benefit from it.

The Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH emphasize the importance of putting one's faith in Allah and finding contentment through a strong connection with Him....

This particular episode has been one of the most highly requested ones I've had so far. Discussing insecurities is never an easy topic, and as individuals strive to become better and more modest Muslims, each journey should lead to a destination. Throughout this process, it's common to experience moments of insecurity and a fading sense of confidence, particularly when one's appearance sets them apart as a Muslim. Not to mention, confidence is a positive quality valued in Islam.The belief in...

Special Needs and Islam is a discussion that a lot of people aren't educated or comfortable discussing. Unfortunately, due to the treatment special needs individuals receive in their local masjids and by their community, it is more convenient for parents or special needs individuals to feel the need to hide themselves. Due to this lack of knowledge and ignorance regarding how the Muslim community treats individuals with disabilities or special needs, we are effectively removing and harming a...

Moving mountains through ministrations, Dhikr is not just words. It is how one remembers God and subconsciously moves oneself onto the righteous path. The remembrance of God reverberates throughout Islamic history, from the tongues of the prophets to those of the common man. The remembrance of God echoed when Musa (A.S) split the sea, echoed when Hajar ran between mountains, and echoes when the common man today succumbs to ministrations. Tawakkul is the blind trust in Allah, a trust that...

"Why are we tested?"
"What is the purpose of this test?"
"How does creating a relationship with the Quran exactly help me in my tests?"
