With Ramadan almost upon us, here’s a little something for you:

I recently had a great discussion with Sister Aliyah Umm Raiyaan,

Who shared the incredible story behind her book: Ramadan Reflections

And beyond that, the Dua behind that story.

And with the holy month almost here, I thought that story might give you that little bit of motivation needed to raise your Dua this Ramadan.

It can be scary to trust your feelings after tragedy;

Whether it's a loved one, broken dreams,  pieces of yourself lost to time,

But nobody said it has to stay that way,

And with the right approach driven by tawakkul, it is possible to feel whole again.

That's what I discussed with writer Asmaa Hussein as part of our pre-Ramadan prep webinar.

We called it "A Ramadan Love Story", with the idea of helping you fall back in love with yourself, with worshipping Allah, with tawakkul, and with your Dream Duas.

I don't know where you're at in life, but if you're looking for a boost to prepare you for an amazing Ramadan, I hope this episode of the podcast helps.

You’ve invested all that time in Dua, when you’ve put in the work, the sweat, and tears into chasing your dream…

And it just doesn’t work out how you expected.

Where do you go from there?

Last Sunday I spoke about this topic and the concept of tawakkul in a webinar with Ustadha Hosai Mojaddidi, and it was truly refreshing.

We covered everything from…

• Understanding the truth of Istikhara
• Techniques for emotional grounding
• Taking control of your nafs and actions

And more

You can catch the entire webinar in this week’s episode of the podcast.

With a new year comes new or renewed dreams,

For many we choose this time to reset our ambitions, whether in Deen, Dunya, or both,

And thinking about that subject, I’m reminded of this beautiful conversation I had with an inspirational Muslimah in North America… and just had to share it with you again.

Let’s take a step back with Amany Killawi; COO of LaunchGood, the largest crowdfunding platform in the Muslim digital sphere. 

We discussed the mental blocks she had to overcome to dream Big

What she does to de-stress

How she builds the inner strength to do the work that impacts millions

There’s few things in life as rewarding as being at people’s service,

When you know the Prophet ﷺ preferred helping a brother in need over a month of seclusion in his own masjid [hadith],

And when you know the feeling of fulfilment that comes with guiding, mentoring, coaching someone through their darkest episodes into their success.

It just makes sense.

But in that process of guiding others, there are some serious mistakes that can disrupt the process,

And for the aspiring Muslim Life Coach, you definitely want to know what they are.

That’s what this episode with Mohammed Sheikh is all about.

*This episode is brought to you by the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification*

You want to be that ideal mom, the prodigal son, the beacon of inspiration in your community, but in order to do that you need to know how to make everlasting change in yourself and the methods of bringing about that change in the world around you.

After all… what is a shepherd without his staff?

That's where Adwam comes in.

Based upon Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef's tried and proven formula combining Psychology, Human Behaviour, & The Hereafter Paradigm, this school is where you will find the support and guidance in how to bring about excellence in your family and community by being the coach they need.

If there’s anything you take away from today’s episode, I hope it’s this:

"Who you’re becoming is more important than what you’re doing right now."

What do I mean by that?

When you have a clear and ever-present vision of who you want to be, your present life will start to gear itself towards that goal.

I spoke about this during our recent Rising Tide Challenge, a 5 day intensive helping people make meaningful change in their lives and motivate others to do the same.

You can catch the full session in this episode, and find out more about:

• Why Muslims own mindfulness
• Connecting your present self with your future dreams
• Prophetic techniques in inspiring change in others
• Breaking out of autopilot in your life

I hope you enjoy :)

This episode of the DiscoverU Life Podcast is a little different...

…but it's definitely something you don't want to miss!

Let’s take a step back in time, to the late 2000's, where Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef gave one of his most memorable khutbah's on building a nation of leaders, and introduced us to Islamic life coaching.

Just a heads up, the audio in the masjid may sound different for the first minute or so, but will clear up after that, in sha Allah.

We hope you enjoy! 

“I have the best job in the world”

That’s what Mohammed Sheikh told me recently.

He helps people make positive changes in their lives by entering the right state of mind.

In other words, he’s a life-coach with a specific focus in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).

I can hardly think of a profession that feels as rewarding as helping people become better versions of themselves and keeping Allah in the equation at the same time.

In this episode we had amazing discussion on:

• What NLP is and how it changes lives
• Mohammed’s own journey of struggle and self-discovery
• Are we living in an overly-diagnosed world?

And more!

I hope you benefit as much as I did!

There are so many articles out there on one crucial topic:

Emotional Intelligence

Experts have gone on and on about the importance of emotional awareness as a key to success,

And that’s why for this encore episode, I’d like to revisit an incredible conversation on exactly this topic with one of my teachers, Sh. Mikaeel Smith.

We discussed everything from his personal story and not-so-traditional pathway to scholarship, how to approach emotional intelligence through the example of our Prophet (S), and more!

Something we hear from parents all the time: 

"They grow up so fast"

And it’s true, when we don’t pay attention, we miss out on the little moments that make the biggest difference in any parent-child relationship.

That’s why I was so glad to speak with Ustadha Sarah Sultan in this episode, where we discussed:

• Opportunities you might be missing with your child
• The power of acknowledgment
• Crucial duas for every parent and child to learn
• The importance of language and affirmation
• Building trust with your kids

And more!

It was such a powerful discussion, I had to share it again!
