    "Its so hard to reconnect back with Allah after I stepped away"

    Ever feel like your heart is just weirdly off when you're trying to reconnect with Allah after being away? Maybe all it requires is for us to just try our best in doing the khair actions instead of inwardly managing "what is going wrong". Maybe doing your dhikir even if it feels off is the answer instead of knitpicking "why doesn't my dhikir feel meaningful right now" Maybe that weird feeling is just temporary. Maybe the Ibadah feels heavy because you're just in the stage of returning. Maybe with sincere presence and patience... you can feel that same sakinah once again MINI PREVIEW!!! {InshAllah full episode reflection will be posted on the 19th. Stay tuned}

    Even After What You Did | Don't let the sin hold you down

    To the one sitting after a sin, feeling ashamed and heavy inside… Feeling distant from Allah. Feeling weak. Feeling empty. Feeling like you’ve let yourself down again. Here is a message for you: Don’t let this moment make you think you are far from Allah’s mercy. That sadness you feel is not nothing, it is a sign that your heart still knows right from wrong. Turn back to Him, even in this state of impurity. Allah is not waiting for you to be perfect.. He never was! He is calling you to return back to Him.

    Islamic Coping Without Self-Destruction | Finding Yourself the Healthy Way

    We are often programmed to turn to distractions and unhealthy coping mechanisms to heal our hearts and minds during times of weakness. In the moments we truly need to turn to Allah SWT, we are taught to seek relief from everyone and everything but Him. In this episode, I share 5 practical steps that can help you find inner peace, reconnect with Allah swt, seek His guidance and support, and avoid losing yourself to the habits you usually fall back into when those emotions and states arise. May Allah swt accept this and allow benefit to reach you through it. Remember, you are human, and it’s okay to make mistakes.. that does not mean it’s over. That habit you keep falling into? You are more than capable of leaving it behind. I know it can feel disappointing, and I know you may often feel discouraged, but I am proud of you for continuing to try. May Allah make it easy for you, keep you grounded, and protect you from losing yourself again. Allahumma Ameen

    "Ya Allah, whats in my decree?"

    To the one who may be feeling worryful in something Allah sent their way. & mini message to the one who is awaiting duas to come to be: Allah swt has not forgotten you. Sometimes making dua consistently to Allah and not seeing anything in front of you may be hard to sit with. But the beauty? Wallahi Allah always makes a way! Hold on tight to those duas of yours, keep the rope with Allah and stick with the positive healthy thoughts "indeed Allahs help is near", "Indeed Allah has a plan for me", "Indeed Allah did not abandon me" We all have our own kitabs. Our own books of whats decreed and to me? Thats heartwarming to think of for indeed Allah swt is the best of gifters and I will focus on the gifts that He has written for me. #StayOptimistic #Hope

    “that’s so true.. I’m always complaining” | listen to adopt a new way of thinking!

    ever feel like your in constant complaining in your day to day life? Unable to see the benefits in challenges, pain and fatigue that Allah swt sends your way? Inward peace and gratitude all starts with this hidden key. The key in perspective.. the key in mindset switches. It truly all starts from within- from the way you think, from the way you choose to see things May Allah swt allow us to see the wisdom in every single moment in our lives, no matter how small or big the event is & may each event be a means and doorway to being a grateful servant Allahuma Ameen

    "I just feel so stuck. Im really loosing myself"

    To the one who is feeling stuck in flaws, feeling unproductive, became comfortable with negative actions and inwardly upset with themselves.. know that YOU ARE CAPABLE of returning to the way of life you are proud of; the life away from bad habits, exhaustion and fatigue. Its all a process - one including self forgivness, dua, support and systems put into place. A process that requires you to focus 1 day at a time!
