Episode 19- Beyond This byZaheerah Bham Ismail
“When Love Feels Lonely”
“You can lie next to someone every night… and still feel unseen.”
This episode of Beyond This is about that kind of loneliness —the one that hides inside love.
Where connection fades, piece by piece, and you start wondering: how did we get here?
Sometimes love doesn’t leave — it just loses its language.

Book Review “ The Greatest Leader of All Time” by Sheikh Yasir Qadhi and Adnan Jalali
What makes a leader truly great? In this insightful episode, Zaheerah Bham Ismail sits down with leadership expert and co author Adnan Jalali to explore his thought-provoking book, The Greatest Leader of All Time. Drawing inspiration from timeless prophetic leadership, Jalali unpacks how values like compassion, vision, justice, and humility shaped history’s most remarkable leader — and how those same principles can transform the way we lead today.
This conversation dives deep into the essence of leadership: not power or authority, but the ability to uplift, inspire, and serve others. Whether you’re leading a team, a business, or your own family, the lessons shared here will reshape how you view influence and responsibility.
It teaches us how to apply prophetic leadership to modern challenges at work and in life as well as finding the balance between vision, strategy, and empathy in leadership.
True leadership isn’t about titles or positions — it’s about service, integrity, authenticity, humility, purpose and leaving people better than you found them.
Discipline and duaa might sound like two different worlds — one rooted in effort, the other in surrender. But when they meet, they create a powerful formula for growth and success. In this episode, Zaheerah dives into how discipline isn’t about punishment, but about showing up for yourself — day after day, choice after choice. And how duaa isn’t just about asking, but about aligning your heart with Allah’s wisdom and timing. Discipline builds the steps and shapes the path.. duaa carries you forward protected by blessings.
Beyond This Podcast Trailblazing: Dr Nerosha Laher Darsot on Running, Discipline & the Mental Game Beyond the miles, it’s about the mindset!

From the first sunrise runs to the toughest uphill climbs, Nerosha shares how trail running has become her teacher — shaping her patience, resilience, and ability to keep going when the path gets unpredictable. She talks about training the mind as much as the body, the quiet power of consistency, and why discipline is the real victory beyond any finish line. Whether you’re a runner, a walker, or simply navigating your own steep hills in life, this episode will remind you that discipline is not a restriction — it’s a freedom and that sometimes, the hardest trails lead to the most beautiful views. #runnersguide #trail #pod #z #runners #trails #gym #fitlife#BeyondThisPodcast #zaheerahbhamismail #TrailRunningDiscipline #RunYourRace #ResilienceInMotion #MindOverMiles #discipline #perseverance
