If you think suffering makes you more spiritual, you’ve been lied to.

In this episode, I’m destroying the biggest lie keeping Muslim women stuck: that misery equals spirituality.

The truth? You CANNOT get close to Allah when you’re depressed. Joy isn’t selfish—it’s your PATH to Allah.

In this episode:

• Why the “suffering = spirituality” narrative is NOT Islamic

• What the Prophet ﷺ and Sahaba actually taught about joy

• The story of Rabia al-Adawiyya (the radiant mystic)

• How depression distorts your view of Allah

• Why joy and radiance are signs of closeness to Allah
