When you are doing all of the obvious things and still not getting your prayers answered or receiving the healing you are hoping for: What's going on?


This episode is tough love and some hard things to hear, but the aim is to get you to make a decision on where you're headed and what you actually want.


Are you ready to fully devote yourself to seeking the nearness of your Rabb and commit to the path or not?

I realise I haven't touched base with you guys in a little while. On a day-to-day basis I'm doing what most of you are probably doing: juggling my commitments, working, momming and trying my best to hold on to my wird. Alhamdulillah for what Allah (awj) allows us to do.


I want to thank the paid subscribers on Substack and tell you guys that you have a home in my duas. I'm aware 6 bucks/quid isn't crazy for most—could be a huge deal...

To be absolved before your Lord There's a dangerous finality to what's happening in Ghaza right now. The fear is that Allah (awj)'s anger is not far away from descending to affect humanity collectively and those who supported this massacre and injustice specifically. Civilisations/nations were destroyed for taking part, standing by, and not taking action against the injustice and oppression happening around them. Seeking Allah's...

Allah's plan is perfect. He is teaching us constantly and aligning our affairs in the way that's best for us. Sometimes that doesn't look like what we prayed for. Asking for what's best means staying open to whatever comes, even if it looks like the opposite of what we wanted. “W Aleikum Assalaam Sis, please be consistent with your Istighfaar and aim for high numbers 30k and above. When you are constantly doing Istighfaar there i...

Allah (awj) knows what He is doing. You are in good hands, in the best hands. Keep a notebook/journal or digital record of your answered Duas and all the small miracles that you encounter along the way. Trust that what's happening in any given moment is the very best outcome that could happen. It will happen when the time is right. Allah (awj) is with you. He heard your Duas. He knows your heart. You are not forgotten. He hear...

We spend so much time trying to change our habits. We start, stop, try, fail and start again. What if there was a way to create a permanent/consistent change? ...without needing to wrestle yourself in the mud. Talking about Tawassul — the practice of asking Allah with a sincere offering you presented at some point in time, with the hopes of Him answering your desperate Duas in the present.

This episode is about what happens when Allah wants something to happen for you, waiting for answered Duas, understanding delays and asking what it would cost/mean to be without His blessing and pleasure.

What happens when you are regular with Surat Al-Baqarah and you slip up and fall back into mistakes you used to do? How do we handle setbacks, delays and being in limbo?
