Knowledge of Self

Knowledge of Self

Self-knowledge and self-development is a big industry , but what is the purpose ? We take for granted that Self-knowledge and self-development are the essentially good, but all actions are by intentions so what should be our intentions as we embark on a journey of knowing ourselves. Recording from July/August 2022

Subtle Pride & Arrogance

Subtle Pride & Arrogance

There are subtle ways we fall into pride and arrogance.  For one...if you are unable to admit that you have ben duped because you are 'too smart' to fall for lies and deceit, you might want to reevaluate your position.

Believe Allah

Believe Allah

We know we believe in Allah. But do we believe Him? When He promises us of His rewards, of His help, of His displeasure, mercy, forgiveness… do we take His words as THE truth upon which all others are measured ? What does that look like in ‘real time’?

Human nature ramblings

Human nature ramblings

Sometimes our expectations are out of alignment bc we don’t understand the nature of what we are dealing with. Clarity and trust stems from being real about what the nature of God, ourselves and the world around us is. While we strive to be happy, healthy, and peaceful , the temporary lack of those things won’t shake us if we remember that in this dunya ebbs n flows are par for the course. Have any thoughts.

Our habits have shaped who we think we are

Our habits have shaped who we think we are

It’s one thing to talk about cultivating new habits, but what about analyzing the habits that form the bulk of who we think we are. Recognizing our current habits and habituation have ourselves to something new can be one key to living a fuller more expansive life.

Scared to Grow

Scared to Grow

Taking a pause to admit the truth about ourselves can be a very uncomfortable process.   However we must take opportunities for self reflection and self growth as beautiful gifts from our creator.

The rift between who we say we are and how we show up in the world (ie, who we really are) can only be removed if we take the chance to truly look at ourselves and be willing to admit our shortcomings and grow away from them

The Weight of Motherhood

The Weight of Motherhood

Motherhood, though a blessing, can sometimes threaten to take over our complete identity and even derail us on our path to God.  

What makes the difference between fulfilling, enjoying, and thriving in the blessed role of mother, and becoming consumed with anxiety and pressure to do what seems an impossible task at times?

I think the answer is trusting in God to be as He always was, an ever present and merciful Lord who hasn't left us alone and on whom we can always place our trust.

We being to explore some of these topics in this weeks episode.

‘Wants’ vs. Needs

‘Wants’ vs. Needs

As mothers we are so accustomed to looking after the needs of others that we downgrade our own needs to ‘wants’ and thereby ignore them for far too long. What do you need in your life to thrive ? If a plant was loosing all its leaves we wouldn’t say it ‘wants’ water, we know it needs it ! 💦 there may be areas of our lives where we are losing ourselves bc we don’t recognize what we *need* to be our best selves.

Love in the Time or Corona pt. 2 - Self Love

Love in the Time or Corona pt. 2 - Self Love

In order to love anyone fully we have to first love ourselves. Worshipping Allah fully also requires self love. We must love ourselves enough to take care of the very faculties we use to approach and know our Lord and give Him our best as well as be in the best position to receive and make use of the best He gives us as well.
