7 Reasons Why I ‘Left’ Social Media

I would like to start off by admitting that the title of this post is a bit misleading. Social media is a broad term encompassing different social networks and websites.

Conquering Your Fears

Something profound happened to me the other day and I don't think I'll ever see or experience the feeling of fear the same way ever again. You see, for the most part of my life I lived in fear. The fear of moving to another country at a young and impressionable age. The fear of [...]

How to Live a Peaceful Life

If you had to choose between peace and happiness what would you choose? There is no right or wrong answer to this question; I believe your choice will be largely influenced by the thing you're seeking the most at this current stage in your life, which is okay.

Keeping The Right Circle of Friends

Before you say ‘I do’

Assalam alaykum ummati! I genuinely hope you and your loved ones are doing great. For my brothers and sisters that are sick, wounded and troubled, may Allah swt grant you all shifa and sakina and may He mend the hearts of the broken-hearted. So, it dawned on me a couple of days ago that I'm [...]
