Game changer for me was 1) praying within 15

Minutes and also the following that helped me to get into a Tahajjud routine https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4glHOgqJ88U

Also keep track of what I am doing and having roadmap for increasing ibadah and how I will get there. Plus a daily gratitude journal and a group of sisters on telegram who share gratitude daily

I love a good accountability practice. A friend was just expressing to me how much she missed having sisters who she checks in with to help her stay on the straight and narrow. Masha'Allah on the 15 minutes that's a game changer. You've inspired me.

Hey Sumayah!

I'm well, alhamdulillah! I'm in my post-ramadan reflection phase and it feels like the right place to be, alhamdulillah.

May Allah grant you complete shifaa, ameen! (Remember to hold on to your Surah Baqarah routine in the chaos inshaAllah)

When you're heft hanging with your health and waiting for answers, it's really tough and very scary. May this be an expiation for you Sumayah.

Allah is with us. Allah is with us. Allah is with us. All the means He sent to you and keeps sending - subhanAllah, may Allah keep showing you that He is with you.

P.S. Your mentoring sessions sound like the perfect fit for my post ramadan headspace subhanAllah! I look forward to signing up soon, inshaAllah!

One last thing is we do have a sisters retreat coming up in Toronto next month! I SO wish I could invite you all expenses paid subhanAllah!

May Allah make it easy for you to get the space you need away from the stress of day to day life.

Walaikum assalam warahmatullah,

It's available to everyone, some content is specifically relating to women's perspective but there's no limitation on who can listen in.
