“We have certainly created man in the best of form.” (Surah At-Tin 95:4)

This verse reminds me that I am beautifully and perfectly made by Allah. Being kind to myself means remembering that, forgiving my mistakes, and treating myself with the same mercy Allah shows me.

Sometimes, growth means letting go — not out of anger or pride, but because you’ve become different people walking different paths. In this episode, we talk about the quiet heartbreak of outgrowing friendships, the guilt that comes with it, and the peace that follows when you finally accept change.

Have you ever found yourself holding back your deen around others? Maybe you laugh along at things you know aren’t right, avoid playing Qur’an, or shy away from mentioning Allah, just so you don’t seem “too much.”

In this episode, I reflect on why we do this, what it does to our iman, and how we can break free from the habit of shrinking our faith for the sake of people’s approval✨

‫یَحۡذَرُ ٱلۡمُنَـٰفِقُونَ أَن تُنَزَّلَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ سُورَةࣱ تُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا فِی قُلُوبِهِمۡۚ قُلِ ٱسۡتَهۡزِءُوۤا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡرِجࣱ مَّا تَحۡذَرُونَ﴿ ٦٤ ﴾‬

How do I show up gently and confidently without losing who i am?

This one’s for my soft girls who overthink everything but still want to be seen💘

If you’ve ever felt like your du’a was unheard, or you’re struggling with disappointment and divine delays, this episode is for you💘

In this episode, we reflect on the idea of being the friend we’re searching for, through the lens of Islam. What does it mean to love for your sister what you love for yourself? How can we embody the qualities of a good companion that the Prophet ﷺ praised?

Say, O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.” (Quran, 39:53)

This life is a test, and I know it feels like you’re drowning sometimes, but remember, Allah promised that He is closer to you than your jugular vein (Quran, 50:16). He is not far. He is right here, with you, even in this moment of pain.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un, please make Dua for the brothers/cousins that passed away. May Allah have mercy on Yusuf Attahir Yusuf, Muhammad Attahir Yusuf, Yusuf Tahir Yunus. May Allah make it easy for their families and reunite them in the highest rank of Jannah. Ameen thuma ameen

The recommended du'a to recite when leaving a gathering is: "Kaffaratul Majlis" (the expiation of assembly). It is recited in Arabic as "Subhanak Allāhumma wa bi hamdika, ash-hadu 'an lā ilāha illā Anta, astaghfiruka wa atūbu ilayk". The translation is: "Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise is to You. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but You. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You

This du'a is a tradition based on narrations from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), where he would recite it after every gathering or session. It is believed to help expiate any unintentional wrongdoing that might have occurred during the gathering

This episode reflects on the verses in Suratul Haqqah (25-35)

In this episode, I just want to sit with you — heart to heart — and remind you of something you already know deep down: it’s time to choose Allah again.

Not out of guilt. Not because anyone’s watching. But because your heart needs Him.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a soft reminder, from one sister to another, that we can do better with our deen. That Allah hasn’t closed the door. That no matter how far you feel, you’re always one sincere step away from Him.

So if you’ve been feeling distant, spiritually low, or just… tired of the dunya — this one's for you. Let's get back on track together, inshaAllah. 🤍

It's easy to be kind to those who are kind to us—but what about when they aren't? In this episode of Sarah, we explore the strength it takes to show kindness even when others “don’t deserve it.” Through reflections from the Prophet’s (ﷺ) example, real-life scenarios, and a heart-to-heart reminder about who we’re really doing it for, this episode challenges us to rise above ego and embrace the beauty of mercy, patience, and character. Being kind isn’t about them—it’s about you.

Why is khushūʿ so essential? How can we cultivate it in our daily prayers despite distractions and a busy life?

In this episode, we’re talking about being imperfect—and how that’s completely okay. Sometimes we slip, miss a prayer, or just feel off in our deen. But the beauty of Islam is that it’s not about being perfect, it’s about showing up, trying again, and turning back to Allah no matter how many times we fall.

This is a reminder for anyone who feels like they’re not “good enough”—you are. And Allah’s mercy is always greater than our mistakes.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about being perfect—it’s about never giving up.

But what happens when the month of Ramadan ends? How can we maintain the good habits we worked so hard to build? The Prophet ﷺ said:

"The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are consistent, even if they are small." (Sahih Bukhari 6464, Sahih Muslim 2818)

In this episode, we discuss practical ways to carry the spirit of Ramadan throughout the year—whether it’s through salah, Qur’an, dhikr, or acts of kindness. We reflect on why many of us struggle to stay consistent and how to overcome the post-Ramadan dip in motivation.

"And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the call of the supplicant when he calls upon Me."

(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:186)

Dua isn’t just asking for things—it’s a deep, personal conversation with Allah. In this episode, we’re diving into the power of dua, how it strengthens our faith, and why no prayer goes unheard. We’ll also share tips on making heartfelt duas and staying patient when waiting for answers. Whether you’re struggling to connect or just want to level up your dua game, this one’s for you!

Salah isn’t just about going through the motions—it’s a daily check-in, a reset, and a way to stay grounded. "The first deed for which a person will be called to account on the Day of Judgment will be his Salah. If it is found to be sound, he will be safe and successful; but if it is incomplete, he will be unfortunate and a loser."

(Sunan al-Tirmidhi 413, Sahih according to Al-Albani)

This Hadith highlights the importance of Salah as the foundation of our deeds and a key to success in the Hereafter. It reminds us to prioritize and perfect our prayers.
