In this inspiring episode, I sits down with sociolinguist and multilingual mother Dr. Taylor Smith-Benyahia for a heartfelt conversation about what it truly means to raise children between languages, cultures, and faiths.

Together, we explore how language shapes identity, why both Arabic dialects and Modern Standard Arabic have a place in our homes, and how mothers can nurture joy and confidence instead of perfection.

Through her research, experience, and personal journey raising her daughter in Algerian Arabic, French, and English, Dr. Taylor reminds us that every word we pass on is more than language, it’s connection, belonging, and love.

🎧 Tune in to listen and be inspired to see language not just as a skill to teach, but as a legacy to live.

Teaching Arabic to our children isn’t just about words and grammar, it’s about shaping their identity, strengthening their faith, and opening doors for their future.

In this episode, I share the heartfelt rewards my children have gained from learning Arabic: adapting easily to hijrah, building friendships across dialects, thriving in Arabic schools, falling in love with reading, and most importantly, connecting deeply to the Qur’an.

It’s a story of struggle, sacrifice, and immense blessing and a reminder that teaching Arabic is not just an academic choice, but a life decision with fruits in both dunya and akhirah.

Sometimes, the greatest rewards don’t come when we reach a goal — they come when we choose to begin, even if imperfectly.

In this deeply personal solo episode, I share the unexpected gifts Allah gave me along my Arabic journey — moments I never imagined I’d experience.

From understanding heartfelt duas during taraweeh in Morocco, to whispering my own Arabic prayers around the Ka'bah, to finally feeling the words of the Qur’an speak directly to me… all of these came after taking just one step forward, despite my fears.

This episode is a reminder that teaching Arabic isn’t just for your children — it transforms you, too.

Whether you're just starting out or feeling stuck along the way, I hope this story encourages you to keep going, knowing that Allah sees every effort.

People often assume I’ve always been fluent in Arabic — but the truth is, our journey started with pressure, self-doubt, and constant mistakes.

In this solo episode, I’m opening up about how hard it felt to begin teaching Arabic at home, the emotional weight of not feeling “good enough,” and how I slowly shifted from striving for perfection to embracing connection.

You’re not alone — and you don’t have to do it alone either.

In this episode, I sit down with Dana, the founder of DanaLand Academy, to talk about her personal journey with Arabic—even as a native speaker—and the challenges she faced reconnecting with the language.

We discuss the lack of engaging, child-friendly Arabic resources, and why simply teaching the language traditionally isn’t enough—kids need to live it, feel it, and experience it.

Dana shares how she brings Arabic to life through creative, fun, and meaningful approaches that allow children to build a real relationship with the language, beyond just letters and vocabulary.

In this episode, I sit down with Laura, a German mother raising her children in Tunisia, to talk about the beauty and challenges of navigating multiple languages and cultures. 🌍✨

Laura shares her journey with Arabic, how she is raising her children with both German and Arabic, and what it’s like to build a life in a new country as a mother. We also dive into the importance of community and support, and how this inspired her to start an initiative for mothers—creating a space for them to connect, share, and grow together.

Her story is a reminder that no matter where we are, we thrive best when we support one another. 💕

Ramadhan is a time of transformation, and for Sofia, it has been a deeply personal journey of rediscovering faith, seeking knowledge, and strengthening her connection with Allah.

In this heartfelt episode, Sofia opens up about growing up without a strong Ramadhan spirit, how she had to embrace Islam again and truly experience the beauty of emaan. She shares a deeply emotional period of her life, including the struggles that led to her wearing the hijab—a true miracle in her journey.

We also reflect on the privilege of knowing what Ramadhan truly is, the power of the last ten nights, and how learning Arabic transformed her relationship with the Quran—from reading translations to understanding its deeper meanings.

This is an episode of raw honesty, growth, and deep spiritual reminders.

Ramadhan is a deeply personal journey, yet it’s also shaped by the places we live and the people around us. In this episode, I sit down with Fatima Al Talib, an educator and curriculum developer, to reflect on her experiences of Ramadhan growing up in different countries—from Malawi to South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and Malaysia.

We talk about how these diverse experiences shaped her perspective, how she now prioritizes community and giving back during this blessed month, and the deep connection she feels to Arabic and the Quran.

This conversation is a reminder that Ramadhan is not just about personal growth but also about uplifting those around us—and that reconnecting with the Quran in its original language adds another layer of meaning to our worship.

What does a meaningful Ramadhan look like? For Houda, it’s not about extravagance or comparison—it’s about embracing simplicity and tailoring each Ramadhan to her reality.

Her advice? Let go of expectations, stop comparing yourself to others, and focus on what truly matters.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to do more in Ramadhan, this episode is a beautiful reminder that your Ramadhan doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s—it just needs to be meaningful to you.
