In this episode of the TribeCast, we explore what it means when love is shared: the challenges, the beauty, the emotional realities, and the expectations that surround Muslim women navigating this path.

This conversation creates space for reflection and understanding, even if the answers aren’t always simple.

How do you call upon Allah with your heart wide open? In this episode of the HSM TribeCast, we sit with Rasheedah Shatta to explore the transformative power of dua; our most intimate connection with our Lord.

Rasheedah reminds us that dua is not just a ritual act but a lifeline: a way to anchor ourselves in times of uncertainty, to express gratitude in moments of joy, and to nurture unwavering trust in Allah’s wisdom.

Through her reflections, stories, and gentle wisdom, she invites us to see dua as a daily practice of hope, surrender, and empowerment.

Whether you’re in a season of waiting, healing, or growth, this conversation will inspire you to turn inward and upward, rediscovering the beauty of speaking directly to your Lord.

Tune in and be reminded: every whispered prayer is heard.

For episode 11, we sit with Ni’mah Iresalewa Muhammed-Bello, the inspiring founder of the Ni’mah Andre Foundation, an organisation dedicated to fundraising and providing support for people facing health challenges.

Together, we explore what it means to live a life of service, to show up for others, to make a difference where it matters most, and to leave behind a legacy of kindness and impact.

This episode is a gentle reminder that our time here is short, but the love we give, the lives we touch, and the hope we ignite can outlive us. 

May it inspire you to ask yourself: When I’m gone, what will I leave behind?
