This one is for the sisters who struggle with what is probably one of the biggest blessings Allah has decreed for women.

In this episode, Subhi shares with us her journey with hijab: how she started wearing, how she drifted apart from it before deciding to take if off, only to re-embrace it again a few years later Alhamdulillah.

A beautiful message of hope, proving that faith is a journey and a sign for whoever is listening, that nothing is worth compromising it for.

Allah said in the Quran "If you are grateful, I would certainly give you more.” (14:7)

We often fail at noticing the simplest blessings in our life, but for some reason, it required personal development gurus for people to realize the transformative power of gratitude.

In this episode, we're diving into this topic with Roedah Mansour who wrote a book completely dedicated to it: "Blessings in the Little Things: In Pursuit of Heartwork to a More Meaningful and Intentional Life."

How can gratitude deepen your relationship to Allah and invite you to renew your intention? How can we be grateful for the simplest things but also, the difficult ones? How does gratitude impact your relationships?

A beautiful conversation that we hope is insightful and beneficial insha'Allah!

How does it feel to be 30 and not married? 40 with no kids?

What about starting new projects or a new fitness journey at this age? Does age truly mean anything?

In this episode, I'm joined by the incredible Sumayyah for the big sister talk you didn't know you needed. In a society that always makes women feel like their prime is at a certain age and that their worth decrease with time, we thought we would show you that the Qadr of Allah is greater than everything and that age doesn't in fact mean anything.

Why is there so much taboo around our period? Why are we not embracing the beauty of something Allah chose for us?

Today, I'm joined by the wonderful Husna Jolay, an 18-year-old Islamic lifestyle content creator with over 300k subscribers on YouTube and 250k on Instagram.

In this heartfelt conversation, Husna candidly shares with me her journey of discovering the true meaning of Islam and deepening her connection with Islam at such a young age. She opens up about the challenges she faced, including navigating feelings of loneliness and spiritual distance despite being born Muslim, the valuable lessons she learned on her path towards faith and how she intends on becoming even closer to Allah while navigating the complexities of modern life.

Husna's story is a beautiful example of maturity and wisdom, showcasing the resilience, strength and serenity that can be found in embracing your faith.

There shouldn't be taboos in Islam, especially when it comes to the way Allah created us and taking care of our health, yet sexual education is something that has always been ignored or put to shame in our community.

Today, I am joined by Sameera Qureshi who I discovered a while back through her amazing Instagram page called Sexual Health for Muslims. I was so pleasantly surprised to discover a Muslim woman doing something that was so needed and educational for all of us, so when I brainstormed ideas for the podcast, I knew I wanted to have this chat on sexual desires as a single Muslimah with her.

As usual please let me know your thoughts insha'Allah!
