  • Assalamu alaykum, friends!

    _

    The other day, I picked up my pen (keyboard) and wrote in my journalโ€ฆ

    โ€œShould I ask Allah to reduce how much I love?โ€

    I knew I was hurting inside becauseโ€ฆ what is this deep question, please? ๐Ÿ˜†

    Listen to my Sunday Morning think-out-loud to find out how Iโ€™m trying to navigate (instead of fight) my heart for loving a little too deep, too much, too fast.

    _

    May Allah control all our hearts, forgive our shortcomings, and may He bless us with the best in dunya and akhirah.

    May Ash-Shakoor help us renew our intentions multiple times every day, and may He save our reward for us.

    May we be of benefit to the ummah, and may Allah love us, always.

    Ameen.

  • I went on a scary walk a few days ago.

    It was an icy winter trail and I was scared to slip and fall.

    I was scared some animal would come out of the forest and jump at me.

    It was dark, so I needed a flashlight but my phone battery was low.

    I wanted others to help me, I could see them, but they were way ahead.

    My heart was racing, my eyes wide openโ€ฆ

    Listen to this episode where I share my adventure, but also what I learned.

    And our Lord is forgiving and merciful โค๏ธ

  • We have a lot of tabs open in our brains all the time.

    Iโ€™m sure we all agree that our brains were not built to take so much pressure, so much workload, so much stress, so much stuff(!)โ€ฆ and to keep all those tabs open in our brains at the same time!

    This voice note is my invitation to you.

    Donโ€™t forget to make duโ€™a for the things on your brain-dump list, your today-list, and your right-now list :)

    Remember, youโ€™re allowed to rest and recharge when you need to.

    May Allah ease your affairs, beautiful.

    With lots of love and a truckload of duโ€™aMaryam

  • Lesson 8: Duโ€™a

    Bismillah.

    With no plan, no script, and no idea what Iโ€™d end up talking about, I decided to record (instead of write) the final lesson in the โ€œ8 lessons in 8 yearsโ€ series.

    So you get to hear my super imperfect podcast, and Iโ€™m totally fine with that. I think. InshaAllah the next episode will be better. (I need topic suggestions btw, thankyouuu!

    In this episode, I spoke about duโ€™a and how we need to make duโ€™a for our marriage too.

    Allah is so near and He wants us to ask Him โค๏ธ

    Hereโ€™s the duโ€™a I mentioned:

    It is related that Abdullah ibn Masโ€™ud (ุฑุถูŠ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู†ู‡) used to use these supplications a lot:

    Allahumma allif baina qulubina, wa aslih dhata bainina, wahdina subulas-salam, wa-najjina minad-dhulumati ilan-noor, wa jannibnal-fawahisha ma dhahara minha wa-ma batana, wa barik lana fi asmaina, wa absarina, wa qulubina, wa azwajina, wa dhurriyyatina, wa tub โ€˜alaina innaka anta-Tawwabur-Rahim, wa-jโ€™alna shaakireena liniโ€™mik muthneena biha โ€™alaik, qaabi-lina laha, wa ati-mimha โ€™alaina

    O Allah! Reconcile our hearts, amend what is between us, guide us to the paths of peace, save us from the darkness [and admit us] to light, and save us from obscenities, inwardly or outwardly, and bless our hearing, seeing, hearts, spouses and offspring. And accept our repentance, indeed You are the Ever Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful, and make us thankful for Your favors. All praise is due to You. Accept our good deeds and complete them for us.

    P.S. Jazakallah khair to the lovely ladies who agreed to listen to the podcast and gave their beautiful feedback and encouragement. I appreciate you more than you know.

    With lots of love and a truckload of duโ€™a,Maryam
