How often do we beat ourselves up about the thoughts we think, and judge ourselves, and we miss out on the khair and treasures that are hidden within when we learn to not do that...

In this mini episode, you will learn why some people can transcend pain, even really traumatic pain, and why some people turn that pain into suffering, and how we can use that learning to transcend our pain too, bi ithnillaah ta'ala.

This is a breathing exercise to begin the day or re-set your nervous system at any point of the day.

If you're feeling frustrated, this is probably something you struggle with. This episode is a reminder of how to submit to what is, and let go of the "what ifs" so you achieve contentment wherever you are, and have the freedom to show up and be your best self right now.

(2:247) Banu Israeel wanted a king who was rich, Allaah gave them one who was poor. We all look for signs that we are successful and on the right track. In this episode we ask, "Are we measuring the right things in our lives?"

Allaah is free of need, and we are totally in need of Him at all times - we are in need of Him for our spiritual needs, our physical needs and emotional needs.

What amazing lessons can we draw from one of the shortest verses we have covered? This reflection will transform your thinking today bi ithnillaah ta'ala! It's a reflection on the verse: "And know that Allah is severe is punishment and that Allaah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful" (5:98).

Why is it so slow and so difficult to get through this? “The path to Allaah is long and we pass along it like turtles. The goal is not that we arrive to the end of the path. Rather, the goal is that we die while we are on the (straight) path” (Shaykh Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen al-Albaanee) Every single stage of our path to Allaah, of our journey of belief, holds its own perfection, its own specific meaning for us, and will facilitate something that is yet to come. Each stage is both required for the next, and perfect for that moment . Each stage is both temporary, and where we need to be.
