Fear of missing out is killing Your Relationship with Allah (reminders for the heart that chases dunya, reality check, real contentment, practical tips & more)
e-MuslimahShow Notes
Assalamu Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu my dear sisters. In a world that thrives on constant visibility, the "Fear of Missing Out" has become more than just a social anxiety it’s a spiritual distraction that pulls us away from being present with Allah. In this episode, we are discussing how the habit of constantly looking at other people's lives quietly erodes our Rida (contentment) and creates a sense of lack where there should be gratitude. We’ll explore how to reclaim your focus, trust in your own Qadr, and realise that you can never truly "miss out" on what Allah has already written for you. It’s time to trade the anxiety of the scroll for the peace of a heart that is settled in its own journey. A powerful reminder to keep in mind for this episode is the Hadith of the Prophet (ﷺ): "Look at those who are below you and do not look at those who are above you, for it is more suitable that you do not look down on the blessings of Allah." (Bukhari & Muslim). Fear of missing out happens when we flip this Sunnah and only look "above" at what others have. This episode is about flipping it back so we can see our own blessings again.

Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu,
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh my lovely sisters , A little reminder for the heart: Tawheed is so much more than something we learn, memorise and speak about. It should slowly become visible in the way we live, the way we think, the way we respond, the way we love, the way we seek and the way we place our trust in Allah. In this episode, we’re looking at what it actually looks like to live Tawheed in the ordinary parts of her life, from her rizq and relationships to her fears, plans, private struggles and the things her heart quietly depends upon. So put your phone down for a little while, get comfortable somewhere quiet, perhaps while tidying your room, getting ready for bed or taking an evening walk, and spend some time reflecting with me. A reflection point for you: What would change here if I truly remembered Allah?
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh my dear sister,In this episode, we begin our series, “Softness Is Not Weakness: Lessons From the Women of Islam.”In a world that can make us feel like we need to be harder, louder and less sensitive to be strong, I want to explore a different kind of strength, the strength of a woman whose heart remains soft because it is anchored in Allah.In part 1, we will talk about the lives of Maryam AS and Khadijah RA and reflect on what it truly means to be soft without being weak, gentle without being powerless, and feminine while carrying immense strength.A reminder that softness is not something we need to grow out of. Sometimes, it is one of the most beautiful forms of strength Allah gives us.
