Before watching this episode, I was feeling like a fraud because I feel somewhat distant from Allah. and then while watching, I thought to my self that watching this episode and being in this gathering virtually is an act of ibadan. May Allah accept this effort from you and I

I just love how this is titled Living and Worship - you'd initially think it's going to be an episode about how everyone should manage their time better to fit in extra salah, tahhajud, Qur'an recitation etc. into daily life, making worship like that a priority over the needs of the dunya....but no, it's as simple as just living your normal life, but with Allah in your heart...and that's what makes all the difference. SubhanAllah, how profound, Allah has made it that easy for us❤‍🩹

What Sumayyah said about being sick and prioritizing Allah, SubhanAllah...

[tasnimhoosen]

This episode made me realise my anxiety has drawn be closer to Allah, waking up and sleeping with anxiety allows me to do my dhkir

[aali]

Subhanallah! While talking about remembrance of Allah, I see my sisters remembering Allah, the clickers are going 😊

[bwholellc]

I literally sat on the end of my bed. I have some trying days with such hard decisions. Being so unsure and depressed . Allah has only shown me he is here and he hears me. This videos validated so much for me.
Allah is Akbar

[lovelysdeen]

I love how Sumayyah brought up the fact that istighfar unlocks a new level of ibadah and it grows from there, we just have to make the intention and remain consistent SubhanAllah

JazakumAllahu Khaira to you three for coming back because we need more sisters speaking on these topics ❤️ really appreciate it

[blackpearl]

I like what LaYinka said -- how not to compartmentalize our daily life and our worship into separate sections, when we do something and then we stop to pray. How is it possible to make it one big flow of life, and not like the one stops for the other to begin. I am saying this because this is my problem because of which I am not regular with my prayers. Throughout this talk I've been thinking if I achieve the state of mind with 24/7 awareness of Allah then I may not feel the separation wall between these 2 worlds. In such a case, Allah would be an active participant in all my actions throughout my day and when the prayer time comes there would be no Oh I must stop now whatever I am doing. I would need for prayer times to naturally and painlessly flow into whatever my daily duties are.
Thank you sisters, I love that you are back!❤❤❤

Lovely episode ladies! What Sumaya was saying reminded me of what of ibn Taymiyyah said profoundly.

“Sometimes, I have a certain need that only Allāh can fulfill, so I call upon Him. Then, I find that the door of dialogue with Allāh opens up for me, and through it I taste the sweetness of discourse with Him and the joy of knowing Him that far surpasses the urgency of obtaining an answer to my prayer, and so I prefer for the answer to my prayer be delayed for fear of losing this connection once my need is fulfilled.” Ibn Taymiyah.
[Majmūʿ al-Fatāwa 10/333]

[Majeedigital]

I swear being ill and then cured is a blessing i could understand with conviction Sumayya's view 14:30 talking about how we prioritize Allah before any other thing after being sickened then cured.

[nazlimerick]

I founf myself nodding harder and harder and Sumayah‘s intervention made me understand why dua is an act of worship more than the thing we came in the 1st place. Beautiful. Macha Allah. May Allah protect you and increase you.

[saladohasan]

Great reminder about worshiping Allah during washing the dishes or laundry. 🥰

[mustaphananaaishah]

Subhanallah! This clip is a powerful reminder of the importance of living a life pleasing to Allah. May we strive to be among those who are truthful, compassionate, and just, and may our actions be guided by the light of the Quran and the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Ameen."

[nadirajames]

This was touching Alhamdulillah beautiful topic Sisters Ma shaa Allah 🤲🏾🤲🏾♥️

[BassMonsterTiff]

I see yall wearing dhikr buttons on your fingers. Perfect episode for such a reminder. I went on a trip recently, and mine is still buried in my luggage… but now i will strap up so i remember to remember 💜

[nastehoali]

So healing. Thank you so much for coming back. This episode did so much to heal me spiritually and emotionally. May Allah grant you all tranquil hearts and a life He is pleased with.

[Sister-H]

6:00-8:20 in my opinion Layinka hit the nail on the head and Aaliyah hammered it in. For me the hammering was uncomfortable but it was so true and I feel like both points were so important . I agree with both. May Allah preserve you all and grant you all the best of this life and the hereafter aamiin

[Springthoughts]

A profound episode, oh how we need these beautiful reminders and perspectives. You help us grow, so really, Barakallahu feekum for that.

[bettyreyes-martinez]

Such a profound episode from beginning to end, I am truly going through some challenges right now internal and external, I pray everyday that I am able to find a community of sisters to not go through this journey alone.

[fatimamahjoub]

Sisters, you continue to make my days
