There’s a moment in every Muslim’s life when the world feels too loud. Too shiny. Too convincing. When the glitter of the dunya pulls at your sleeves like a child begging for attention, promising joy, promising validation, promising that this is where your worth lives.
In this episode, we go back to one of our earliest reminders, the ayah that uncovers the truth behind it all: “The dunya is nothing but play and amusement.” We walk through the marketplaces of our lives, the curated timelines, the applause, the comparisons, the highlight reels, and explore why the heart keeps reaching for things that never last. We ask why the emptiness lingers even after every goal is achieved, every like is counted, every dream is touched. And we uncover the hidden mercy behind Allah reminding us that this world is temporary: not to scare us, but to free us.
This episode is a soft but necessary wake-up call, a reminder that your soul was made for more than short thrills and disappearing highs. You’re built for depth. For meaning. For eternity.
If you’ve been feeling distracted, lost in the glow of the dunya, or simply tired of chasing things that fade… this one will feel like a deep breath.
🔗 Press play, breathe, and step back into what truly matters.

in the Gen Z & Islam series is the intimate middle chapter, the place where the transformation begins. If the first episode was about awakening, this one is about walking. About taking the first trembling steps toward Allah after years of distraction, culture shock, heartbreak, identity crises, and spiritual amnesia.
In “The Journey,” i talk about the truth, often hidden process young people around the world go through when their hearts begin to turn toward Islam again. The confusion. The fear of judgment. The loneliness of being the only one in your circle changing. The quiet shift from “I’m just curious” to “I can’t imagine life without Allah.”
This episode traces the in-between, the sacred middle stage where the heart softens slowly, secretly, quietly. Where Gen Z Muslims feel the push and pull of dunya versus deen. Where reverts struggle to let go of their past identities, and born Muslims rediscover their faith after losing themselves to modern culture.
You’ll witness the behind-the-scenes experiences inspired by the stories of reverts like Megan Rice, Jay Palfrey, Lauren Booth, Aisha, Andrew Tate, Myriam François, and so many others, the nights they cried, the questions they whispered, the courage it took to say “Allah, guide me.”
This is the part of the journey nobody talks about enough, the internal war between who you were and who you’re becoming.
The doubt.
The surrender.
The slow unlearning.
The painful honesty.
The beautiful rebirth.
Because becoming Muslim, or returning to Islam, isn’t one moment. It’s a thousand small moments where Allah quietly pulls you back to Him.This episode is for every heart in transition… every soul halfway home… every young person trying to find their place between dunya and deen.

In this closing chapter of the Gen-Z & Islam extended series, Asiya brings together the threads of a global awakening, the quiet, stunning return of young people to their Lord. This final episode is a deep dive into the transformation happening across continents: in America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and everywhere a restless soul whispers “There must be more to life than this.”
Here, we talk the raw, unfiltered journey of a generation raised on noise but starving for meaning. The ones who walked away from fame, addiction, identity confusion, loneliness, and the illusion of “freedom,” only to discover peace in sujood. The ones who found in Islam not rules, but refuge.
You will hear reflections inspired by reverts like Jay Palfrey, Megan Rice, Myriam François, Aisha, Andrew Tate, Lauren Booth, and countless unnamed hearts whose stories echo the same truth: When the world fails to make sense, Allah still does.
This episode is about Gen Z returning to the Qur’an in their darkest nights. It’s about young Americans falling in love with the adhan for the first time. It’s about Europeans discovering the stillness of dhikr after a decade of overstimulation. It’s about Africans reclaiming the depth of their deen beyond culture. It’s about the universal longing that pulls every heart toward the One who created it.
But above all, this episode is about homecoming. A generation that once ran from Allah… now running back to Him with trembling sincerity. Softly, slowly, beautifully, the ummah is awakening. Because even in the loudest century, the soul still recognizes the sound of truth.

Something sacred is happening across the world, hearts are waking up. From Gen Z Muslims reclaiming their faith to Americans, Europeans, and Africans embracing Islam in record numbers, there’s a quiet revolution rising, one led by sincerity, longing, and light. I takes you on a global spiritual journey through the eyes of those returning to Islam. You’ll hear stories of reverts like Megan Rice, Jay Palfrey, Lauren Booth, Myriam François, and so many more, people who walked through confusion, fame, and emptiness only to find peace in the remembrance of Allah. But this isn’t just their story, it’s ours. It’s about a generation tired of pretending to be “okay,” tired of chasing aesthetics, tired of shallow connection, and finally realizing that Islam is not a restriction, but a return. this episode explores why the world is turning toward faith again, and what it means to live Islam in an age of noise, crisis, and longing. Because even when the world feels lost, hearts still know their way home.

We spend our lives chasing milestones, careers, relationships, numbers, validation, and call them goals. But what if the real goal was never the world, but Who we were meant to live for?, I unravels what it means to have real-life goals in a world that worships distractions. From prioritizing Allah and seeking sacred knowledge, to helping people, respecting parents, and remembering Jannah, this isn’t an episode about ambition, it’s about alignment. this episode calls you back to what truly matters: the peace that comes when your purpose stops revolving around the dunya and starts revolving around Allah.
If you’ve been feeling lost, empty, or disconnected from your why, this episode will remind you that the real success story is written in the hereafter. Because the real goal isn’t to live louder, it’s to live with Allah at the center.

There’s a kind of peace that comes only when you stop fighting what was always meant to be yours, and what was never meant to stay. In this episode, i takes you through the journey of surrender, from heartbreak to healing, from questioning Allah’s plan to finding comfort in it. i talk about what it truly means to trust Qadr, not passively, but powerfully. You’ll learn how to stop forcing what Allah has already redirected, how to breathe again after loss, and how to find freedom in knowing that nothing written for you will ever miss you. This is not just an episode, it’s a reminder that your story was always written with mercy, even in the moments that broke you.
🎧 Listen when your heart feels heavy, when your plans collapse, or when you just need to remember that Allah’s timing is never late.

How to love yourself for Allah; not for the world.
This episode is a soft journey into a forgotten Sunnah: seeing yourself through Allah’s mercy, not through your pain. I talk about the quiet ways we learn to shrink, the wounds we carry, and how the Prophet ﷺ taught us dignity without arrogance. It’s a reminder that self-love in Islam isn’t ego, it’s worship. It’s learning to honor your heart, protect your soul, set boundaries with softness, and walk with the quiet strength of knowing your worth comes from Him.

Sometimes Allah’s answer isn’t a dream. It’s silence. Stillness. Closed doors that hurt but heal. In this episode, i talk about the subtle, breathtaking beauty behind Istikharah’s answers, how Allah responds not always with signs, but with shifts; not with visions, but with peace. Through story, reflection, and surrender, i’ll uncover how Allah’s “no” often hides His greatest mercy, and how the quiet unfolding of His plan is itself a divine response.
🎧 A reminder for every heart waiting for clarity: Sometimes the calm after the dua is your answer.
Between every “Should I?” and “What if I’m wrong?” there’s a prayer that anchors your heart to Allah’s wisdom. Istikharah isn’t just for big life decisions, it’s the believer’s daily compass, the dua that transforms uncertainty into peace and fear into surrender. In this episode, i take us deep into what Istikharah truly means, how to pray it, what it changes inside you, and why it’s not about signs, it’s about trust.
🎧 A reminder that every time you say, “Ya Allah, choose for me,” you are stepping into the safest kind of guidance: divine guidance.

O Allah, I seek the counsel of Your Knowledge, and I seek the help of Your Omnipotence, and I beseech You for Your Magnificent Grace. Surely, You are Capable and I am not. You know and I know not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter [then mention the thing to be decided] is good for me in my religion and in my life and for my welfare in the life to come, - [or say: in this life and the afterlife] - then ordain it for me and make it easy for me, then bless me in it. And if You know that this matter is bad for me in my religion and in my life and for my welfare in the life to come, - [or say: in this life and the afterlife] - then distance it from me, and distance me from it, and ordain for me what is good wherever it may be, and help me to be content with it. Whoever seeks the counsel of the Creator will not regret it and whoever seeks the advice of the believers will feel confident about his decisions. Allah said in the Qur'an: "And consult them in the affair. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah."
Al-Bukhari 7:162
We are the anxious, restless, hustling generation. We chase money, aesthetics, identity, and validation, but the Hereafter is the one reality we can’t scroll away from.
This episode dives into what it means to be Gen Z in a world of endless noise, and yet still stand accountable before Allah. We’ll talk about identity, loneliness, mental health, love, hustle culture, and the illusions of dunya. And we’ll ask the questions that matter most: What are we really living for? What will remain when everything else fades?
For every soul that feels lost in the chaos of this era, this is your reminder: the Akhirah is not for later. It’s for us. It’s closer than we think.

We’re taught to believe healing has to come first. That love is only for the ones who are “whole,” who’ve fixed every scar and silenced every ache. But what if that’s not true? What if healing and love were never meant to be opposites, but companions?
In this episode, I open up about the tension of broken hearts and the longing for connection. We’ll explore the myth of waiting until you’re “ready,” what Islam teaches about mercy and love, and why scars don’t disqualify you from tenderness. Because sometimes, being loved gently becomes part of the healing itself.
This is for the ones who whisper, “Am I allowed to love while I’m still in pieces?” The answer, softly, is yes.

In a world drowning in noise, what happens when we choose silence?
This episode, “We Need to Abandon the Internet,” is not about smashing your phone or disappearing into a cave, it’s about reclaiming your heart from the flood of endless scrolling, distractions, and comparison.
I take you through the desert of stillness, the Qur’anic warnings about wasted time, and the prophetic blueprint for digital freedom. Together, we reflect on how the internet has stolen our focus, our sincerity, and our ability to sit quietly with Allah.
This is not just a podcast. It’s an invitation, to step out of the flood, to breathe again, and to return to the connection that truly matters: your connection with Allah.
