notes from nurhdyhaz

"Sometimes holding someone's pain does not mean taking it from them. Maybe it means helping them feel less alone while they learn how to carry it." 😌

What do we do when someone we love is struggling and we do not know how to help? With perspectives from an asatizah-counsellor Ustaz Syafiq Rahmat and a Trauma Recovery Therapist Nur Adam from the Good Life Counselling, this episode explores the balance between caring, advising, listening and knowing our limits. It is a conversation about supporting someone without trying to control their healing, and learning how to remain present without carrying more than we are able to hold.

"When there is discomfort in ibadah, it does not mean we believe in Allah swt any less." 😌

When we feel anxious, numb, exhausted or spiritually distant, it can be easy to assume that our Iman is failing. In this episode, we learn from Singapore's very own Islamic Psychologist and Mental Health Clinician, Ustazah Dr. Noraini Abdul Wahab, to explore the intersection between mental health and faith, and clarify whether emotional struggles always point to spiritual weakness. Together, we unpack what tawakkul can look like when anxiety remains, and why seeking professional help does not have to be separate from du'a, Quran and reliance upon Allah swt.

"Why give up on yourself when Allah swt has not given up on you?" 😌

Sometimes the hardest person to live with is ourselves. In this episode with Art Therapist Ustazah Amirah Munawwarah, we explore what happens when shame, self-loathing, repeated mistakes and unhealthy coping begin to shape the way we see ourselves. Rather than reducing healing to "just be positive" or "try harder", this conversation looks at how we can remain accountable without becoming cruel towards ourselves, and how returning to Allah swt can still begin from a place of exhaustion, regret and struggle.

"No worldly commitments."

"My heart has been yearning."

"Quiet from the noises of the world."

We asked those who have been what they wish they knew, those who haven't what they are most curious about, and those longing to return what keeps calling them back. Welcome to our three-part conversation on Umrah, told through your questions, our stories, and the reflections we hope to carry home.

For our final part with ⁠⁠QALBI⁠⁠ Founder Amellia, we asked those who have been for Umrah one simple question: why do you want to return. Their answers spoke less about places and more about peace, nearness, family, purpose and a heart that remembers how life felt when everything revolved around Allah. Together, we reflect on why the blessed lands continue to call the heart long after we have returned home, what we bring back with us, and why perhaps returning to Umrah is not only about returning to a place, but returning to the person we hope to become.

"People will test your patience."

"Build stamina."

"Exposure to different cultures."

We asked those who have been what they wish they knew, those who haven't what they are most curious about, and those longing to return what keeps calling them back. Welcome to our three-part conversation on Umrah, told through your questions, our stories, and the reflections we hope to carry home.

In part two of this series, together ⁠QALBI⁠ Founder Amellia, we we revisit the things our listeners wished someone had told them earlier: the walking, the crowds, navigating different cultures, moments that test our patience, and learning not to rush even when everything around us feels like it is moving. Through personal stories and reflections, we explore how some of the most unexpected moments of Umrah may become part of what Allah is teaching us about ourselves.

"What does it actually feel like?"

"Am I even worthy of going?"

"How do parents even manage toddlers?"

We asked those who have been what they wish they knew, those who haven't what they are most curious about, and those longing to return what keeps calling them back. Welcome to our three-part conversation on Umrah, told through your questions, our stories, and the reflections we hope to carry home.

In the first part of this series, together QALBI Founder Amellia, we sit with the curiosities, uncertainties and hopes that come before the journey. From travelling with family and navigating the practicalities, to preparing a heart that may not quite know what to expect, we reflect on how Umrah sometimes begins long before we ever see the Kaabah. Perhaps the longing itself is already part of the invitation.

"Stop blaming others for your past but start creating for your present and future self." 💐

As we grow older, we begin to realise that much of what our mothers taught us was not always through the things they said, but through the way they lived, loved, corrected, and showed up for us. In part three of the 'Conversations with Mom' Series, I sit with my mother to ask what she had hoped I would learn while growing up, while also looking further back at her own journey as a daughter and the lessons she carried throughout her motherhood journey.

"Once you have asked from Allah swt, let Him handle it. He knows better what should be done." 💐

There are forms of love we only begin to recognise as we grow older. The kind that gives quietly, worries constantly, forgives repeatedly, and continues showing up even in exhaustion. In part two of the Mother's Day Series, I sit with my mother to reflect on the unconditional nature of a mother's love. From always wanting to give the best to her children, to turning to Allah SWT in moments of fear, helplessness, and silent struggle. We also explore the kinds of appreciation mothers truly long for, and how some of the deepest acts of love were hidden in the ordinary things we once overlooked.

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers and Mother-figures! 💐

There are many things about our mothers that we only begin to understand as we grow older. The quiet exhaustion. The unseen sacrifices. The constant choosing of family, even at the expense of themselves. Alhamdulillah, in this first part of the Mother's Day Series, I sit with my mother to talk about the hidden struggles of motherhood. The things I never noticed, never asked about, and perhaps never fully understood before. From carrying emotional burdens silently to what it truly means to put family first, this conversation is an attempt to slow down and see our mothers more gently, more honestly, and more deeply while we still can.

Ramadhan | "Your Ramadhan was a proof that you tried, and that's important to recognise." ✨

Ramadhan is not only remembered by how much we did, but by what it did for us. In this closing episode of our Ramadhan series, we reflect on the memories that shape the month: the quiet moments of closeness, the unseen victories, the softened hearts, and the feelings that linger long after the moon departs.

Together with love, Sarah, we explore what it means to honour Ramadhan without pressure, to carry its light gently into the rest of the year, and to trust that even imperfect striving leaves behind something beautiful. A reflective conversation to close the month, and keep its meaning alive.
