“We keep going, even when the light seems impossibly far away. That's precisely the type of darkness required for yaqeen to be born.” Under the weather but still wanted to share this with you guys.
We spend so much time trying to change our habits. We start, stop, try, fail and start again. What if there was a way to create a permanent/consistent change? ...without needing to wrestle yourself in the mud. Talking about Tawassul — the practice of asking Allah with a sincere offering you presented at some point in time, with the hopes of Him answering your desperate Duas in the present.
I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm a good person. What's happening?
A message for anyone trying to heal, improve, stop or leave but finding themselves slipping up over and over
Start reading Surat Al-Baqarah and go hard on your Istighfar. Watch what it does to your life. Thank you for being here and jazakum Allah khair for listening. Sincerely, Sumayah is me giving you guys my heart. It’s not perfect, there’s no big team or crew, just me and you.

This episode is about what happens when Allah wants something to happen for you, waiting for answered Duas, understanding delays and asking what it would cost/mean to be without His blessing and pleasure.
What happens when you are regular with Surat Al-Baqarah and you slip up and fall back into mistakes you used to do? How do we handle setbacks, delays and being in limbo?
If you knew there was a magical way to fix, heal and bless everything would you do it? Thikr is easy rewards, abundance and blessings that we've been leaving on the table.
Have you tried to start reading Al-Baqarah and stopped? Did you notice yourself getting sleepy, distracted, unwell, or overwhelmed? Do you struggle with thikr, consistency and motivation? Today I'm talking about ways to overcome those obstacles and how to put these different acts of worship into context & perspective.
I’m not sure why the audio is going in and out on this recording but I am sending it anyway. I will not be deterred :) This is probably the most important episode I have ever done. I’m sharing four life-changing habits/practices that you would miss out on if you left them. There’s no gimmick. It’s the real deal on how to turn your life and relationship with Allah around. I cannot wait to hear all of the beauty that comes into your lives and the ways Allah blesses you, fixes your heart, and turns your lives around. Jazakum Allah khair for listening. I look forward to sharing more. Sincerely, Sumayah
All of our timelines for understanding and growth differ and we can't rush or control our own timing or those of others. Instead of questioning whether we could have done more to get a message across, a different question would be whether our audience is ready to hear it.
Where's the line between playing the part and being an entire human being? Thoughts on navigating vulnerability, openness, reality and truth in the context of social media and marketing.
What happens when you are going through a challenging time and your closest people let you down? What does it mean when they don't show up for you? Can we acknowledge our personal limitations around being there for our people, and extend that compassion to them when it's our turn?
Allah (awj) is inviting you to come back to Him. He has not given up on you. He still wants you. He sees the good in you, even when you no longer see it in yourself. Even after a million mistakes. All you need to do is to turn to Him
You aren't unworthy, corrupt or so lost that you should just give up on yourself. You're not too far gone. If you have nothing else, hold on to the one last thing. It may be the thing that saves you.
Where's the line between trusting in Allah and tying your camel? How do you know when you've done enough? What if you miss out on a chance?
This one is for all of the kindhearted, naturally giving, generous people who have become afraid of being used or taken advantage of. You can set boundaries that protect you and allow you to decide when and how you help others. It doesn't make you withholding or selfish, it just makes you human.
This episode is about the fear of being too needy in relationships and how to manage our expectations and emotions.
A lie has a mother & father. Let's examine our role in creating a safe environment in our marriages, families and the community at large.
What happens to a couple when one person makes their partner the center of their universe? Where are the lines between our individual lives and being part of a couple?
