Assalamu alaykum dear friends! Today’s Letter isn’t actually a letter 🙂 it’s a perfectly imperfect heart-to-heart Voice Note from Maryam!

I’m looking forward to reading your thoughts on it in my inbox or the comments inshaAllah. Listen on Spotify | Listen on Apple Podcasts Please remember me and my family in du’a 🌸 Love +...

Assalamu alaykum, friends! _ The other day, I picked up my pen (keyboard) and wrote in my journal… “Should I ask Allah to reduce how much I love?” I knew I was hurting inside because… what is this deep question, please? 😆 Listen to my Sunday Morning think-out-loud to find out how I’m trying to navigate (instead of fight) my heart for loving a little too deep, too much, too fast. _ May Allah control all our hearts, forgive our shortcomings, and may He bless us with the best in dunya and...

I went on a scary walk a few days ago. It was an icy winter trail and I was scared to slip and fall. I was scared some animal would come out of the forest and jump at me. It was dark, so I needed a flashlight but my phone battery was low. I wanted others to help me, I could see them, but they were way ahead. My heart was racing, my eyes wide open… Listen to this episode where I share my adventure, but also what I learned. And our Lord is forgiving and merciful ❤️ This is a public episode....

We have a lot of tabs open in our brains all the time. I’m sure we all agree that our brains were not built to take so much pressure, so much workload, so much stress, so much stuff(!)… and to keep all those tabs open in our brains at the same time! This voice note is my invitation to you. Don’t forget to make du’a for the things on your brain-dump list, your today-list, and your right-now list :) Remember, you’re allowed to rest and recharge when you need to. May Allah ease your affairs,...

Lesson 8: Du’a Bismillah. With no plan, no script, and no idea what I’d end up talking about, I decided to record (instead of write) the final lesson in the “8 lessons in 8 years” series.

In this episode, I spoke about du’a and how we need to make du’a for our marriage too. Allah is so near and He wants us to ask Him...
