    EP139: Before Your Umrah, Allah swt Has Been Preparing You For It (with QALBI Founder Amellia)

    "What does it actually feel like?" "Am I even worthy of going?" "How do parents even manage toddlers?" We asked those who have been what they wish they knew, those who haven't what they are most curious about, and those longing to return what keeps calling them back. Welcome to our three-part conversation on Umrah, told through your questions, our stories, and the reflections we hope to carry home. In the first part of this series, together QALBI Founder Amellia, we sit with the curiosities, uncertainties and hopes that come before the journey. From travelling with family and navigating the practicalities, to preparing a heart that may not quite know what to expect, we reflect on how Umrah sometimes begins long before we ever see the Kaabah. Perhaps the longing itself is already part of the invitation.

    EP138: I Never Noticed You Growing Older While I Was Growing Up (with Bonda)

    "Stop blaming others for your past but start creating for your present and future self." 💐 As we grow older, we begin to realise that much of what our mothers taught us was not always through the things they said, but through the way they lived, loved, corrected, and showed up for us. In part three of the 'Conversations with Mom' Series, I sit with my mother to ask what she had hoped I would learn while growing up, while also looking further back at her own journey as a daughter and the lessons she carried throughout her motherhood journey.

    EP137: The Unconditional Love I Never Thanked You For (Mother's Day Special)

    "Once you have asked from Allah swt, let Him handle it. He knows better what should be done." 💐 There are forms of love we only begin to recognise as we grow older. The kind that gives quietly, worries constantly, forgives repeatedly, and continues showing up even in exhaustion. In part two of the Mother's Day Series, I sit with my mother to reflect on the unconditional nature of a mother's love. From always wanting to give the best to her children, to turning to Allah SWT in moments of fear, helplessness, and silent struggle. We also explore the kinds of appreciation mothers truly long for, and how some of the deepest acts of love were hidden in the ordinary things we once overlooked.

    EP136: Things I Never Understood About You Before (Mother's Day Special)

    Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers and Mother-figures! 💐 There are many things about our mothers that we only begin to understand as we grow older. The quiet exhaustion. The unseen sacrifices. The constant choosing of family, even at the expense of themselves. Alhamdulillah, in this first part of the Mother's Day Series, I sit with my mother to talk about the hidden struggles of motherhood. The things I never noticed, never asked about, and perhaps never fully understood before. From carrying emotional burdens silently to what it truly means to put family first, this conversation is an attempt to slow down and see our mothers more gently, more honestly, and more deeply while we still can.

    EP135: Our Sweet Memories of an Imperfect Ramadhan (with Sarah Afeefah Ishak)

    Ramadhan | "Your Ramadhan was a proof that you tried, and that's important to recognise." ✨ Ramadhan is not only remembered by how much we did, but by what it did for us. In this closing episode of our Ramadhan series, we reflect on the memories that shape the month: the quiet moments of closeness, the unseen victories, the softened hearts, and the feelings that linger long after the moon departs. Together with love, Sarah, we explore what it means to honour Ramadhan without pressure, to carry its light gently into the rest of the year, and to trust that even imperfect striving leaves behind something beautiful. A reflective conversation to close the month, and keep its meaning alive. _________ For this Ramadhan episode, we are deeply honoured to be hosted by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Vivere Design Studio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ whose journey spans over two decades. 23 years of building not just spaces, but relationships rooted in trust and satisfaction.

    EP134: These are the Quiet and Subtle Gifts of Ramadhan (with Ustazah Amirah Munawwarah)

    Ramadhan | "As a servant of Allah swt, you will be given constantly due to His generosity." ✨ As Ramadhan draws to a close, many of us quietly wonder if we did enough. If our fasting, prayers, and intentions were truly worthy of this blessed month. But what if Ramadhan was never only about what we managed to do, but also about what Allah swt chose to give? In this episode, we reflect on the gifts to those who fast. Joined by Art Therapist, ⁠Ustazah Amirah Munawwarah⁠, we explore how small acts of remembrance carry immense mercy, how spiritual practices create a sense of safety for the heart, and why feeling spiritually quiet towards the end of Ramadhan is not a failure. If you are ending this month with a heart wondering whether you fell short, this conversation is a gentle reminder that Ramadhan may have given you more than you realise. _________ For this Ramadhan episode, we are deeply honoured to be hosted by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Vivere Design Studio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ whose journey spans over two decades. 23 years of building not just spaces, but relationships rooted in trust and satisfaction.

    EP133: Look To Our Inner and Outer Climate (with Kamran Shezad)

    Ramadhan | "When we heal the climate of our heart, we heal the climate of the earth." ✨ Ramadhan comes from the word ramadh, intense heat. But what is this heat meant to touch? In this episode, we explore how Ramadhan softens the heart while calling us to responsibility beyond the self. Joined by Kamran Shezad, Author of 'Eco Ramadan – A Spiritual Guide', Director for the Islamic Foundation for Ecology and Environmental Sciences and one of the top 100 most impactful environmental professionals in the UK by The Ends Report Power List, we reflect on fasting as a form of regulation, restraint, and moral clarity. This conversation invites us to see environmental care not as activism alone, but as worship, and Ramadhan as a training ground for hearts that cool excess, restore balance, and live with greater consciousness. A gentle yet urgent reflection for those navigating faith in a warming world. _________ 🔷 This episode is supported by KEYFA Quran Space. Arabic From Zero (AFZ) by Keyfa is designed for adults, youths, and teenagers who can read Arabic with shakl but may still lack confidence in speaking or understanding the language.

    EP132: You Slowly Become What You Listen To (with Khadijah Samah)

    Ramadhan | "What you listen to will affect who you are and what you feel about yourself." ✨ In a world that never stops talking, what happens when we finally listen intentionally? In this episode, we explore fasting the ear: how the sounds we consume shape our hearts, self-worth, and inner peace. Joined by Khadijah Samah from Brunei, whose work centres around self-love and intentional living, we reflect on noise, nourishment, and the quiet power of conscious listening. From the constant background sound to the gentle invitation of the Quran, a soft companion for those seeking clarity, grounding, and presence this Ramadhan. _________ 🔷 This episode is supported by KEYFA Quran Space. Hifz From Zero (HFZ) by Keyfa is designed for everyday individuals who wish to begin memorising the Quran through Juz 30, even if they have never attempted memorisation before. You do not need to be a hafiz or possess strong memorisation skills; as long as you can read the Quran with basic fluency, this programme guides you step by step through a structured and supportive approach. With guided sessions that help build consistency, confidence, and a deeper connection with the Quran, HFZ makes the journey of memorisation accessible for anyone ready to begin—because sometimes, the journey with the Quran simply starts with one ayah at a time. 📱 Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠@keyfa.quran.space⁠⁠⁠⁠ to stay updated ➡️ Click here to sign up for Hifz From Zero (HFZ) _________ May the episodes continue to accompany you and bring benefit and barakah, insyaAllah 🤍 Connect with me: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠
