Show Notes

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said when the month of Ramadan arrived:

قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَمَضَانُ شَهْرٌ مُبَارَكٌ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ صِيَامَهُ تُفْتَحُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ وَيُغْلَقُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ الْجَحِيمِ وَتُغَلُّ فِيهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ فِيهِ لَيْلَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ مَنْ حُرِمَ خَيْرَهَا قَدْ حُرِمَ

The month of Ramadan has come, a blessed month in which Allah Almighty has obligated you to fast. In it the gates of the heavens are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed, the devils are chained, and in it is a night that is better than a thousand months. Thus, whoever is deprived of its good is truly deprived.

In this episode, we talk about making du’a a genuine part of our relationship with Allah, not something we only turn to when life gets difficult🤍

In this episode of Rooted, we’re talking about what it means to build a genuine relationship with the Qur’an. If you’ve ever felt distant from the Book of Allah or struggled to stay consistent, this is your reminder that it’s never too late to return. Together, we’ll reflect on why the Qur’an was revealed, how it transforms our hearts, and how to reconnect with it through small, meaningful steps.

This episode is not about guilt or fixing everything at once. It’s about understanding what’s happening in your heart, and realising that drifting doesn’t mean you’ve left. It often just means you’ve gotten lost. And getting lost is not the same as leaving🤍

In this first episode, we talk about returning. Not the perfect kind of return, but the real one, the kind where you feel distant and still choose to come back anyway.

Mar 27, 2026

After Ramadan ends, the real question begins: what will we carry forward? Allah reminds us in the Qur'an, “And worship your Lord until there comes to you certainty (death)” (15:99), showing that our عبادات are not limited to a single month, but are meant to continue throughout our lives.
