This practical tips reminder is to give things time. A lot of times, we feel like we have to have all hands on deck in every situation, but sometimes, falling back and letting things be is a better approach. Not all good decisions you make will come with immediate rewards. Some things are a test of time and require patience.

In Islam, the concept of attaching one's happiness primarily to people is approached with caution and balance. While human relationships and connections are important, Islam teaches believers to place ultimate reliance and attachment on Allah (God) rather than solely depending on human interactions for their happiness. The Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad  PBUH emphasize the importance of putting one's faith in Allah and finding contentment through a strong connection with Him. Islam encourages believers to strike a balance between forming meaningful relationships with others and maintaining a strong connection with Allah. While people can bring happiness and support, attachment solely to them can lead to disappointment and instability. By focusing on faith, personal responsibility, gratitude, and reliance on God, Muslims aim to find lasting contentment and joy while navigating the complexities of human relationships. This episode discusses a few personal tips in how to avoid attaching your happiness to people. Anas reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, ?Leave the world to its people. Whoever takes from the world more than what suffices him, he has taken a portion of his ruin while he is unaware.? Source: al-Firdaws lil-Daylami? 363 ? This episode is sponsored by Rabata.

Feeling overwhelmed is something we all go through, and sometimes it can seem like it's taking over everything. Learning how to handle your emotions when you're overwhelmed is a really important part of life. Ultimately, the teachings of Islam encourage believers to place their trust in Allah's wisdom and mercy. Understanding that challenges are a part of life's journey and that seeking help through prayer, supplication, and community can provide a sense of relief and guidance when feeling overwhelmed is key. As we navigate the complexities of life, including moments of overwhelm, the teachings and practices of Islam can serve as a source of strength, comfort, and resilience, helping individuals find their footing amidst the storm and fostering a deeper connection to their faith. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/islamicfeelings/support

This particular episode has been one of the most highly requested ones I've had so far. Discussing insecurities is never an easy topic, and as individuals strive to become better and more modest Muslims, each journey should lead to a destination. Throughout this process, it's common to experience moments of insecurity and a fading sense of confidence, particularly when one's appearance sets them apart as a Muslim. Not to mention, confidence is a positive quality valued in Islam.The belief in Allah's mercy, guidance, and support can instill a sense of confidence in a Muslim's life. Moreover, Islam promotes humility, which is different from low self-confidence. Muslims are encouraged to be humble and acknowledge that all their strengths and achievements come from Allah's blessings. This understanding prevents arrogance and helps maintain a balanced sense of confidence. Insecurities may arise from societal pressures and stereotypes that some Muslims face. Negative portrayals of Muslims in the media can contribute to feelings of insecurity and alienation. Additionally, misconceptions about Islam and the fear of being judged or misunderstood by others can create internal struggles for some individuals. This episode delves precisely into this matter. - Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Islam began as something strange and will return to being strange, so blessed are the strangers."

Special Needs and Islam is a discussion that a lot of people aren't educated or comfortable discussing. Unfortunately, due to the treatment special needs individuals receive in their local masjids and by their community, it is more convenient for parents or special needs individuals to feel the need to hide themselves. Due to this lack of knowledge and ignorance regarding how the Muslim community treats individuals with disabilities or special needs, we are effectively removing and harming a part of our ummah. Our masjids struggle to be inclusive, and unfortunately, some masjids aren't concerned about facilitating a part of the ummah. This important topic led me to invite Brother Belal Elkadri. Belal Elkadri is a motivational speaker in the Metro Detroit area where he delivers sermons and lectures to empower the community and bring awareness to current issues.

The prevalence of pop psychology is increasing, with more and more people sharing psychological facts that may be trendy but lack factual accuracy. This trend can lead individuals to engage in unqualified and harmful overanalysis of their emotions and experiences. In this episode, we discuss pop psychology and self-awareness, while also talking about the impact of different ideologies on Muslims today.

"Why are we tested?" "What is the purpose of this test?" "How does creating a relationship with the Quran exactly help me in my tests?" These are questions that cross our minds when we face hardships. We know Allah is there to help us, we know we are rewarded, and we know the Quran is our guidance through difficulty. However, for some reason, the burden of hardship continues to overwhelm us. To discuss this important topic, I have teamed up with Anse Dr. Farhana Yunus from Rabata for this takeover episode. She sheds light on why we are tested and how we can find comfort in such painful trials. ?????? This episode is sponsored by Rabata.

The discussion surrounding decision-making and pursuing one's dreams while having immigrant parents is always challenging for most young adults. While you deeply appreciate the sacrifices they have made, it also brings a sense of pressure to meet their expectations.

when dealing with an unanswered dua or impatiently waiting for something to happen, it is easy to fall into the realm of doubts. the doubt that God won't provide, the doubt that you won't have a good ending, the doubt that things aren't working in your favor. however, sitting around in life with the blindfold of doubt expecting someone else to come take it off wont work.. it is only through tawakkul / trusting in God that you can learn how to stop feeding into those doubts & focus on what's to come.

we have all heard how it's important to detach yourself from the deep love of the dunya & learn to prioritize your deen. however, learning how to do it in a healthy way is key. one place we all get lost is in the concept of thinking that we are in complete control over every single thing. this mindset can easily destory someone while creating a endless chase & love for the dunya as an individual imagines the idea of having authority over all his affairs. We are only capable of doing what's in our capacity, and even that is through God's allowance. stringing your hearts happiness on the contingencies of you successfully moving a mountain will only hurt you. another place alot of us get lost is in the pain caused by the dunya. pain is unavoidable. it is bound to happen at one point or another. pain is also one of the big factors that can either consume you deeply in the dunya or help you detach in a healthy manner. using pain to learn more about Allah & reintroduce yourself in a new light can be the best investment you ever make. no one can heal the way God does. This ep gives tips on how to implement exactly this :) ? socials and playlists can be found using the link on my page ? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/islamicfeelings/support

today I had my first guest on my podcast & of course, it was Imam Arshad Anwar! I went on Instagram & asked you guys to send in questions for him to answer. this episode covers a wide range of topics from understanding istikhara islamically, how to break the habit of repetitive sins, dealing with abusive parents & even forced marriages. our community is having a drastic rise in forced marriages that are ending in abuse. Imam Arshad, who files divorces very frequently also shares the fact that majority of the divorces end due to abuse & incompatibility. In times like these, it's important to remember to ground ourselves to the islamic values of what should be done. ? all socials & playlists can be found using the link ? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/islamicfeelings/support

tawakkul (trust) is a big part of our faith as muslims. & while alot of us keep tawakkul in Allah SWT when things are going good, it's equivalently important, if not more, to keep firm & stronger tawakkul in Allah when things don't go your way. One of the big questions I ask myself everytime things don't go my way is "do I want to do this, or do I want God to do this".. and any person, who has even the slightest tawakkul will agree that letting God handle your affairs is the best choice. While we make our decisions on our limited knowledge, God makes it on his infinite. Accepting qadr & having faith in trying times isn't easy, especially when anxiety & fear is in the picture. so this ep is here to cover exactly that :)?

sabr is a concept that is widely talked about in Islam. Sabr is also something that isn't as easy as it sounds... "Having patience" in times of hardship can be one of the hardest aspects of the hardship within itself. while sabr is something we should grow to adopt in our lifestyle, it is also our gateway to a new start.. Allah opens & closes doors accordance to His wise knowledge & bearing sabr through the journey of understanding how to deal with grief, loss & sadness can be the same door that provides you with the fresh start you have been seeking for ????? ----------------------------------------------------- This episode was sponsored by " The Muslimah Collection"? a beautiful & unique online store that provides high quality & affordable clothing with a benefit of 100% of the proceeds going to charity.

at one point or another, every human being has gathered different ideas, concepts, goals and more to drive their purpose, day to day life & root their happiness.. but what happens when everything you gathered fails on you? ?playlist with all episodes in order can be found in the link on my page ? "Know that this worldly life is no more than play, amusement, luxury, mutual boasting, and competition in wealth and children. This is like rain that causes plants to grow, to the delight of the planters. But later the plants dry up and you see them wither, then they are reduced to chaff. And in the Hereafter there will be either severe punishment or forgiveness and pleasure of Allah, whereas the life of this world is no more than the delusion of enjoyment."

Assalamu?alaikum everyone! This week's episode covers a wide range of topics from understanding our relationship with regret, love/logic & more. One of the important concepts being how perspective drives performance. This also applies when we try to define success in the dunya. the most common definitions of success at a worldly level is to be at peace. reality is, no matter what you have, even if it's everything you dream of & more, you will never be 100% at peace for a long period of time in the dunya. the dunya will forever be changing, somedays you will win & somedays you will lose. regardless, learning to be content drives you to true success. content with the fact that things might go your way, be grateful. content with the fact that when things don't go your way, there is something better. content with the fact that this dunya is just a part of the destination, not the destination itself. Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, ?Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler along a path.? Ibn Umar would say, ?If you make it to the evening, do not wait for the morning. If you make it to the morning, do not wait for the evening. Take from your health for your sickness, and from your life for your death.?

from learning how to deal with redirection, building meaningful bonds and learning when to let go, this episode is filled with a wide range of life lessons I've learned in my 18 years. for some hearing "no" or dealing with redirection is one of the hardest things to face especially when you had an expectation. However, one of the biggest things I've learned is that "no" is just another step closer to "yes". You will hear lots of "no's" in your life, they only lead you to what is best. We all plan, but Allah is the best of planners & when you see Allahs plan being played out and it isn't feeling good to you.. remember that God makes his decisions with his infinite knowledge as compared to us. Some of my greatest redirections have created this podcast today.

Intention is something we always hear about. Not to mention, it's something alot of us struggle with. So this episode is a story that presents a beautiful example of how the same action can have a different outcome simply due to the intention. ??And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide for him from sources he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for all things.?
