On this episode, I spoke to the wonderful Sofia Rehman, whose book reviews and recommendations on Instagram (@sofia_reading) have bought an immense amount of goodness in my life! Sofia's first book, A Treasury of Aisha bint Abu Bakr - Guidance from the Beloved of the Beloved was recently published by Kube Publishing.

We talk about so much in this episode, including why we need more literature by and about women, Sofia's own writing journey, the pursuit of justice, love for Allah and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and being patient with all that we pray and ask for.

I loved every moment of speaking to Sofia. This conversation was full of so much depth, personal insight and beauty. I hope you too, find something healing and powerful to take from this. 

This episode is part of a little mini-series for the month of Ramadan, focusing on spirituality and Islam. During Ramadan, millions of Muslims around the world fast, abstaining from food and drink from dawn to dusk for 30 days, as part of a month of heightened spirituality and God-consciousness.
