She shares:
🔹 Why Dua is the pu...

The question every believer must ask: what are you leaving behind?

Legacy isn’t about fame, followers, or having your name remembered by the masses. 

It’s about the unseen deeds written with Allah - the ones carried out quietly, sincerely, and with intention. 

From the brother who organized parking at the masjid, to the soldier whose name was never known but whose sacrifice was recorded in Jannah- these a...

There comes a moment when a person realizes:

The only thing standing between them and the life they were meant to live…

…is the courage to ask Allah for it.

Not the connections.

Not the timing.

Not even the resources.

Just a Dua bold enough to match the size of what’s in their heart.

Because every visionary journey begins with a Dua that feels a little too big.

A request that stretches the soul and dares to tr...

You might’ve been making a Dua for years. Maybe even since you were a child. The same Dua, over and over. 

But… have you ever stopped to ask yourself if you actually know what you’re saying?

In this podcast, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) takes you back to a moment that started with a room full of kids - and ended with a story 15 years in the making. 

What begins as a joke turns into something unforgettab...

Sometimes the most powerful insights doesn't from books or lectures, but from the quiet reflections of your own life.

In this podcast, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) shared an idea that came to him while looking through old photos. 

An idea so profound, I joked about selling it to Google—but the truth is, it's something every believer already has access to.

Your moments of joy are not random.

They're ...

You’ve heard the world’s noise about “quiet time” - mindfulness, meditation, deep breaths… but did you ever stop and ask: “Wait, where’s this in our Deen?” Let’s take a seat (literally) and discover how Islam taught us the power of pausing before it became cool.

In this heartfelt session, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) takes us behind the scenes of spiritual productivity - where ‘doing nothing’ is actually doing everything that mat...

Most people never realize they're just following programmed responses. The clock says it's time to eat, so they eat. The craving hits, so they satisfy it. 

Free will becomes an illusion when every "decision" is actually a conditioned reflex.

But Allah, in His infinite wisdom, has given us tools to break these cycles. When you consciously choose to fast, to abstain, to say "no" when your nafs ex...

What would you ask for if you had a guaranteed yes?


In this short episode, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) gives us a space to pause and reflect on the power of asking - not from people, but from the One who never turns you away.

It’s a reminder of who you’re sta...

...

The world has completely shifted. Industries that seemed unshakeable have crumbled overnight, leaving millions scrambling for what's next. But within this chaos lies the greatest opportunity of our lifetime.

A WOW idea is the kind of concept that makes people stop mid-conversation and say "I've never heard anything like that before." 

These are the ideas that serve people in ways that align perfectly wit...

In this episode, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) dives deep into something many Muslims struggle with - making Dua for years without seeing results and wondering "maybe Allah doesn't want this for me." 

He shares his personal journey with trying to pray Fajr in the masjid for 30+ years while battling insomnia. The breakthrough came when he realized it wasn't about Allah rejecting his dua - it was about h...

Have you ever felt guilty for asking Allah for a good life? As if dreaming big or wanting to thrive in the Dunya somehow makes a person less pious?

Allah tells us this single night is better than a thousand months - that’s over 83 years of worship.

A few hours of sincere prayer on this night outweighs a lifetime of normal worship.

It’s the night when destinies are decreed, when prayers are especially powerful.

This is why we must make haste in seeking this night o...
