In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Compassionate,
What do you do in your spare time? and what do you do in your private time?
Time is perhaps the most valuable thing. Not a second can we bring back. We have worldly duties too, we go to work, school, college, we are parents, siblings, spouses and so on. Doing these duties with the right intentions may also be a form worship.
Yet, there are times in which we are alone and we may h...See more

Just like our bodies need shelter, our hearts need a shelter as well.
But sometimes instead of seeking shelter and refuge with Allah, our hearts seek refuge in things that provide a false sense of security.
We escape into television, social media, mindless or sinful entertainment, video games, excessive food consumption, harmful substances, our own thoughts, etc. While recreation is a good thing to refresh and rejuvenate the minds, we have to ...See more

Some days you'll feel like a deflated balloon. Like all energy and motivation has been sapped out of you. You want to hide away and avoid life. We've all been there.
But hopelessness has never been an option for the believer, and it's not an option for you. This doesn't mean you have to put on an act and pretend to be the happiest person in the world. This doesn't mean you're not allowed to feel sad. But it does mean that you have to reach deep...See more

Don't be too hard on yourself.
Ramadan taught me not to be too hard on myself if I can't meet my own spiritual goals. In Ramadan 2020, I had more time and opportunity to do varied acts of ibadah than in 2021. Initially, I felt overwhelmed with not going above and beyond as I had done the previous Ramadan. But, Alhamdulillah, I realised that witnessing Ramadan is a blessing in itself! And I should make the most of it in the best possible manner, ...See more

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
I had made a simple but sincere Dua to go to Makkah and Madinah. I had no idea it would be accepted so quickly. It was as though I had been teleported to these two most sacred cities. I was getting my head around being in the places which are the most sacred places in the world.
My heart, being very heavy and I was ready to pour everything that was disturbing it, to the Lord of ...See more

As we approach the end of 2024, these verses beautifully remind us of the hardships we’ve endured—as an ummah, as Muslims, and as human beings. Today, like many others, I find myself reflecting on the challenges I’ve faced and pondering how I can use the endurance they’ve instilled in me to navigate the opportunities and trials that the new year, insha'Allah, may bring.

There are days when the weight of life feels overwhelming—when pain, stress from studies, the noise of children, housework, my mother’s illness, anxiety about the future, my own declining health, and worries about earning for myself all combine and press down on me until I feel I can’t bear it. Today was one such day. The burden became too much, and I broke down and cried. I found myself sitting with a friend, sharing everything I had kept inside...See more
