In times of difficulty and hopelessness, we often think of ourselves as doomed or our duas as impossible. But we forget to acknowledge that the One who created us and the heavens and the earth, has ultimate power to transform our lives. All we need is just Yaqeen, certainty that our Rabb is looking out for us and He knows what is best for us. Indeed, He is the best of planners. In this bonus episode, we dive deep into the power of dua, and the role in which gratitude plays in our waiting period as Allah prepares us for the qadr He has written for us.

Ramadan is coming to an end. After nearly a month of intense worship, we are bidding farewell to the crescentnmoon. As the month passes, it is significantly important to look back at it with joy and as well as gratitude for making our way through the month. It is an immense privilege to have witnessed the blessed month once again and insha’allah may we witness the next one. Be grateful and remember how much work it took for you to come out of the month completely transformed.

In our first Chamber of Secrets episodes, I had the honour of interview my workshop facilator and event coordinator at the Akhirah Collective. She has been a powerhouse in the success of our collective, helping lead workshops last year.

In the true style of ‘Chamber of secrets’ we dive real deep this episode. She opened up about the struggles of being a ‘failure’, the pressuring of people pleasing in your community and migrant family but most importantly in the lessons she’s learnt from Allah about love and Qadr.

Reflections on this year that has been filled with so much love, loss and hope. Here is to a new year filled with Allah's mercy and forgiveness insha'Allah.

⁠Check out our Upcoming Events⁠ In this episode, I delve into my personal journey of seeking therapy, sharing the lessons I've learned along the way. I'll also provide insights on how to find the right therapist for your needs.

Happy Malcolm X DAY!!!

This is a very special episode to celebrate the life and legacy of the Black Muslim Minister Malcolm X. He has been an inspiration in my connection

to my deen and as well as my acceptance of my race and history.

On this episode, I dive into into Malcolm X’s early life before Islam, his family life, his struggles as a black man in America in the 1960s and also his conversion to Islam. And I reflect on the lessons I’ve learnt from him, my own struggles as a black women growing up in Australia and the relationship between my faith and my race.
