  1. EXPLORING NASEEHA | S4 EP7

    EXPLORING NASEEHA | S4 EP7

    S4 EP7: EXPLORING NASEEHA In this episode, our sisters Hiba and Eeman explore the intricacies of Naseeha and how it reflects growing isolation in our communities today. How do we feel when we receive advice? And how do we behave when giving it? Why is Naseeha essential in building close-knit communities? When we forget to ground our communities in the Qur'an and Sunnah, insecurities prey on us and seek to distort the blessed practices, like that of Naseeha. Amidst all the daily hubbub, join us in reflecting upon the deep, inextricable link that our communal (and individual) well-being yearns for.

Learn how to better yourself in any situation by attempting to emulate actions powered by one thought—"what would the Prophet ﷺ have done?"
