Allahumma akfini bi-halālika ʿan ḥarāmika, wa aghnini bi-faḍlika ʿamman siwāk.

“O Allah, suffice me with what You have made lawful instead of what You have forbidden, and make me independent of everyone besides You through Your grace.”

Hasbunallah wanikmal wakil

"Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs". Surah Ali-Imran (3:173)

Allāhumma innī asʾaluka ʿilman nāfiʿā, wa rizqan ṭayyibā, wa ʿamalan mutaqabbalā.

O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, halal provision, and actions that are accepted.

Many of us are stuck in a cycle of self-deception. Trapped in the illusion of “There's no harm in this” and "I still have time".

A reminder about humility, hidden struggles, and the danger of deceiving ourselves.

Allah says, “They deceive none but themselves, yet they do not perceive it.”  (Qur’an 2:9)

Which struggle do you prefer, the one of being consumed by your desires or the aided path following that which your lord has preferred for you? Pick your struggle because you will struggle anyway.

This note focuses on how everyday decisions, struggles, and intentions can become steps toward Allah. I have found myself at a point of feeling helpless, and the main reason behind that was because I have lived most of my life and shaped everything I do with my time according to culture, social pressure and personal opinion, so whose aid was I expecting?

Whether you are seeking understanding, rebuilding your relationship with Allah, or simply trying to live with more consciousness and sincerity, this note is to invite you and me to pause, reflect, and walk the path with knowledge, humility, and hope.

This note is not about teaching others or claiming moral authority. It is about self-accountability, recognising personal shortcomings, and committing to ongoing return to Allah through tawbah and intentional growth.

If character is faith made visible, then this note is my attempt to look honestly at what my faith looks like in practice and what still needs work.

In this episode, I speak to myself before anyone else. A reminder that my greatest struggle is not against the world, but against myself ; my desires, my distractions, and the parts of me that pull me away from Allah.

In this episode, we explore intra-personal companionship: the relationship you build with yourself. Drawing on the writings of Ibn al-Qayyim and the Islamic tradition of self-reflection, we unpack how your inner dialogue shapes your spiritual journey, emotional well-being, and daily choices.

In this episode, we explore what it means to live consciously. Do we live a life of habit or a life of worship? Whose expectations are we living to meet?

In this episode, we explore the heart, the source of both physical life and essentially one’s moral and emotional centre. Discover how a sound heart shapes our purpose and, guides our actions.
