Sincerely, Sumayah

For anyone tired of working really hard on their healing only to have something major come knock them down again. Maybe it's starting to sink in that you will never get better and this ruqya stuff is not working... This episode is for you. May Allah bring the ease and hold you close to Him. Keep going

When you are doing all of the obvious things and still not getting your prayers answered or receiving the healing you are hoping for: What's going on? This episode is tough love and some hard things to hear, but the aim is to get you to make a decision on where you're headed and what you actually want. Are you ready to fully devote yourself to seeking the nearness of your Rabb and commit to the pa...

I realise I haven't touched base with you guys in a little while. On a day-to-day basis I'm doing what most of you are probably doing: juggling my commitments, working, momming and trying my best to hold on to my wird. Alhamdulillah for what Allah (awj) allows us to do. I want to thank the paid subscribers on Substack and tell you guys that you have a home in my duas. I'm aware 6 bucks/quid isn't...

To be absolved before your Lord There's a dangerous finality to what's happening in Ghaza right now. The fear is that Allah (awj)'s anger is not far away from descending to affect humanity collectively and those who supported this massacre and injustice specifically. Civilisations/nations were destroyed for taking part, standing by, and not taking action against the injustice and oppression happen...

The power of Istighfar: Recorded from an event for sisters who had participated in and completed an Istighfar challenge.

Ramadan Mubarak! This is the Ramadan plan episode. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Substack at sumayah.substack.com

Allah's plan is perfect. He is teaching us constantly and aligning our affairs in the way that's best for us. Sometimes that doesn't look like what we prayed for. Asking for what's best means staying open to whatever comes, even if it looks like the opposite of what we wanted. “W Aleikum Assalaam Sis, please be consistent with your Istighfaar and aim for high numbers 30k and above. When you are co...

Allah (awj) knows what He is doing. You are in good hands, in the best hands. Keep a notebook/journal or digital record of your answered Duas and all the small miracles that you encounter along the way. Trust that what's happening in any given moment is the very best outcome that could happen. It will happen when the time is right. Allah (awj) is with you. He heard your Duas. He knows your heart....

Remember who you're dealing with.

“We keep going, even when the light seems impossibly far away. That's precisely the type of darkness required for yaqeen to be born.” Under the weather but still wanted to share this with you guys.

What your days can look like with Allah's permission. I've shared different practices here and there, now this is what a day with Allah looks like start to finish.

We spend so much time trying to change our habits. We start, stop, try, fail and start again. What if there was a way to create a permanent/consistent change? ...without needing to wrestle yourself in the mud. Talking about Tawassul — the practice of asking Allah with a sincere offering you presented at some point in time, with the hopes of Him answering your desperate Duas in the present.

Certainty, Trust, Spiritual healing and hijab

I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm a good person. What's happening?

Why isn't this working? Am I doing it right? What's holding me back? Keep going. Keep heading towards Allah. You're on the right track 🩷

A message for anyone trying to heal, improve, stop or leave but finding themselves slipping up over and over

Start reading Surat Al-Baqarah and go hard on your Istighfar. Watch what it does to your life. Thank you for being here and jazakum Allah khair for listening. Sincerely, Sumayah is me giving you guys my heart. It’s not perfect, there’s no big team or crew, just me and you. It would mean the world to me if you chose to support my little substack by becoming a paid subscriber. It's just £6/month...

This episode is about what happens when Allah wants something to happen for you, waiting for answered Duas, understanding delays and asking what it would cost/mean to be without His blessing and pleasure.

What happens when you are regular with Surat Al-Baqarah and you slip up and fall back into mistakes you used to do? How do we handle setbacks, delays and being in limbo?

If you knew there was a magical way to fix, heal and bless everything would you do it? Thikr is easy rewards, abundance and blessings that we've been leaving on the table.

Have you tried to start reading Al-Baqarah and stopped? Did you notice yourself getting sleepy, distracted, unwell, or overwhelmed? Do you struggle with thikr, consistency and motivation? Today I'm talking about ways to overcome those obstacles and how to put these different acts of worship into context & perspective.

I’m not sure why the audio is going in and out on this recording but I am sending it anyway. I will not be deterred :) This is probably the most important episode I have ever done. I’m sharing four life-changing habits/practices that you would miss out on if you left them. There’s no gimmick. It’s the real deal on how to turn your life and relationship with Allah around. I cannot wait to hear all...
