Come down memory lane with me and one of my most beloved sisters as we talk you through our entire Umrah journey from start to finish. It was rocky to record and even rougher to edit, but I hope that through our very long conversation, we were able to share with you one of the best times of our lives!

We finally did it! After a not-so-smooth recording process, and almost 4 weeks later, my mom and I managed to get this episode out for you guys and I ask Allah to make it beneficial and worthwhile of your time. The first 20ish minutes or so are from a few weeks ago, and the remaining chunk is the actual q&a part. I hope you're planning on going on a long drive or doing some serious deep cleaning! Tune in now :)

In today’s episode, we briefly go over the concept of mahrams in Islam. What is it? Who are they? What’s their significance? It’s more than just who you don’t have to wear hijab in front of!

In this episode, we explore the concept of haya, or shame/bashfulness, in Islam. We delve into its meaning, significance, why it is esteemed, and what insights the Quran and Sunnah offer on this virtue. This foundational episode sets the stage for an upcoming discussion on practical ways to embody haya in daily life. We'll focus on its application in contexts such as women in sports, conduct in academia, and appropriate interactions with the opposite gender. Tune in to gain insights into this vital aspect of our faith.

Today's episode ties in with the last, discussing how to balance the knowledge that Qadr, aka the decree of Allah, knows that we will continue repeating a sin, and taking accountability for those actions. We talk about the power of du'a and how it ties into this concept of qadr, creating a connection between the three concepts. Tune in to hear what I have to say about this crucial topic!

In this episode, I respond to a dilemma that not only belongs to it's submitter, but every single one of us. Falling back into a sin you've tried to overcome time and time again. What do we do? How do we get better? How can we prevent it? Tune in to listen to advice I found as well as advice of my own that has personally helped me.

In this episode I go more in depth regarding a certain belief that I had briefly mentioned in my previous episode, Quranism. I explain what it is, what the scholars say about them, and why. Tune in to learn more about this not very well-known group of people!
