We often get into situations which are overwhelming such as losing a job, being diagnosed with a serious illness or struggling to pay debt etc. Now, all of us react differently to such situations. One's initial reaction maybe 'oh no, what am I going to do now', 'why has this happened to me?!'. It, then, seems like there is no way out with a lot of anxiety. However, we may make the situation worst by such reactions. On the other hand, there are so...Ver más

Have you ever felt hurt or offended when someone you care about has seemingly forgotten about you? Perhaps you didn't get a reply to a phone call or a text and you feel hurt or sad.
I read something the other day that made me reflect on this ayah in a new light:
'Remember me; I will remember you'
This ayah also reminded me of the words in Hadith Qudsi: 'If you come to me walking, I will come to you running.'
'Truly in the heart there is a void that can not be removed except with the company of Allah. And in it there is a sadness that can not be removed except with the happiness of knowing Allah and being true to Him. And in it there is an emptiness that can not be filled except with love for Him and by turning to Him and always remembering Him. And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill this e...Ver más
For the past few days, alhamdulillah, I've been experiencing a greater level of peace inside me. The peace that I'm referring to is felt at a bodily level, first of all, but I also feel it at a psychological level, and I also feel it silently in my heart.
So, this feeling of peace recently reminded me of the Quranic verses on 'sakinah,' which is a special type of peace that Allah sends down upon some of the believers out of His mercy, as He wil...Ver más
During cold winters and lockdowns or closures of schools, shopping centers, restaurants, and remote working arrangements, the thought of nowhere to go but home comes to mind.
Alhamdullilah for the blessing of our homes and the blessing of shelter.
This reminded me ultimately, there's nowhere to go but home with Allah.
He is Our Ultimate Source of safety, comfort and peace - all aspects we look for in our homes.
The beautiful thing about this verse is that it can apply to many of us throughout our day-to-day life. Especially in a world filled with anxiety, stress, depression, sadness and many other things our minds tend to worry about nowadays. The importance of this verse, makes a great reflection where one can be mindful to remember that we are the chosen believers and one must connect their mind with their hearts. Thus, the 'hearts finding comfort' in...Ver más
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful,

Ramadan is showing us we can all reconnect back to Allah and despite whatever we are facing in life by remembering Allah there lies a paradise in the heart. The more we remember Allaah, the more we will become happier and find strength to handle life’s trials. Have you also noticed that our worries and anxieti...Ver más

Bismillah,
He placed me in a world He knew would test me. He knew I couldn’t navigate it alone. So He appointed for me a 'therapist.'
Yet, when your therapist is Al-Wadud, Al-Rahman, Al-Azeez, Al-Lateef, Al-Khabeer, life’s worries begin to dissolve. And when you meet this Therapist five times a day, worries don’t just vanish—they transform into hope, into love.
Ever since last semester began, time has raced like wildfire. Before I knew it, I w...Ver más
I think about the way my own brain is made. Hidden deep inside is a small cluster, the nucleus accumbens, the place where reward is felt. Neuroscientists say it lights up with dopamine whenever I taste sweetness, hear praise, win a success, or even check a message on my phone. The brain whispers: this feels good, remember it, chase it again.
And I do chase it again. The world knows this. Industries are built on it. Food, entertainme...Ver más
