Before a word leaves the tongue, another speech has already taken place within us. This podcast explores inner speech, self-talk and the heart in Islamic wellbeing.

**Listen to this meditation when you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, lost, afraid, or overcome.**

Take a few moments to step away from the noise of the world and turn your heart towards Allah.

Through the remembrance of **Hasbiyallāhu wa niʿmal-Wakīl**, allow yourself to remember the One whose power is greater than every affair, whose knowledge encompasses everything, and whose wisdom is perfect.

A meditation for moments when you need to reconnect with Allah, find stillness in your heart, and place your trust completely in Him.

What happens when our happiness becomes conditional upon receiving what we want? When we begin to measure Allah’s mercy by whether He gives us the person, outcome, or future we desire?

This is a reflection on attachment, the nafs, tawakkul, surrender, and the freedom that comes when love is returned to its rightful place.

Because perhaps letting go does not always mean losing what you love.

Many of us unknowingly view ourselves through stories shaped by psychology, culture, trauma, or social expectations. But are these the stories Allah wants us to live by? This podcast invites listeners to question the narratives they've inherited and discover an identity rooted in faith, purpose, and their relationship with Allah.

My podcast, "The Cockroach and the Search for Worth," uses classic literature—like Kafka’s Metamorphosis—to explore how human worth is often tied to external validation. From an Islamic perspective, I reflect on how only God’s validation truly matters, and I draw lessons from stories like the three men who stayed behind in the Battle of Tabuk. This episode asks how we can ground our sense of worth in something deeper than human approval.

This episode explains the four concepts of Islamic Mindfulness:

- Tawhid and how it should impacts your wellbeing

- Being mindful of death and judgement- this allows you to put things into perspective ensuring you are not overwhelmed by life.

-Self awareness: being mindful of who you are and why you are here.

-The devil: his role in creating anxiety and hopelessness.

These are the notions that you need to be mindful of when creating a wellness system for yourself.
