    The beginning of my Istighfar Journey

    In this very first episode of my Istighfar series, I open up about how my journey with seeking forgiveness (Istighfar) truly began—and how something so simple ended up changing my life in ways I never expected. It all started with my brother Muhsin and his wife, who posted a friendly competition between themselves to see who could do the most Istighfar. Watching them inspired something in me. On a whim, I decided to join in… and from that moment, the rest has truly been history. Follow me On IG @unwrappedrealtalk  Follow me On TikTok @unwrappedrealtalk Support the show

    I Talk About My Ramadan Reflections And Post Ramadan

    Welcome back to Unwrapped Real Talk with the Black Hijabi! I’m your host, Mariam. Today, I’m sharing my reflections on Ramadan, a time that brought me incredible closeness and spiritual growth. This year, I set some personal goals for Ramadan, and Alhamdulillah, I achieved them. I felt a deeper connection to my faith and a renewed sense of purpose. Supporting Muslim businesses and brands, from halal eateries to henna artists and much more, has been a major focus. It’s vital that we uplift our community. However, right after Eid, we faced a horrible event that reminded us of the importance of staying vigilant. Now that Shaitan is free, we must remain steadfast and keep our guard up.    Thank you for tuning in. Stay connected, because our next episode is dropping soon, and trust me, we’re back in full effect! Support the show
