The journey inward w/ Samona

Sometimes we forget how merciful our Lord is.. heres a little reminder <3 InshAllah moving forward.. I'll be posting here on Podcast {I don't really have a strict schedule but i'A at least weekly stay tuned}

Whether it's work, people, hobbies, or even your relationship with Allah.. when we fall into self disappointment, we tend to shut everything down. We isolate ourselves, stay in bed, and feel unable to move forward. But what if, after you sin or make a mistake, what you need isn't more shame? What if all that's needed is to inwardly forgive yourself, show yourself compassion, and have t...

The things you think about most, run to first, and struggle to put down may be revealing what your heart loves most. This is not an episode to shame you, but help you get into the moment of deep reflection: "am I consuming myself too much in something?" "is there something or someone I am giving all my focus too?" "what do I need to do to recenter my heart so Allah swt can...

Deeper reflection for the previous ep! Know that the heaviness you're feeling in worship may not be proof that Allah is far from you. It may simply be the discomfort of a heart returning to Him, while Shaytaan whispers that the struggle you're having in ibadah in this moment means you're failing... Continue the worship, continue the good actions even if it's difficult, do not let t...

Ever feel like your heart is just weirdly off when you're trying to reconnect with Allah after being away? Maybe all it requires is for us to just try our best in doing the khair actions instead of inwardly managing "what is going wrong". Maybe doing your dhikir even if it feels off is the answer instead of knitpicking "why doesn't my dhikir feel meaningful right now" M...

To the one sitting after a sin, feeling ashamed and heavy inside… Feeling distant from Allah. Feeling weak. Feeling empty. Feeling like you’ve let yourself down again. Here is a message for you: Don’t let this moment make you think you are far from Allah’s mercy. That sadness you feel is not nothing, it is a sign that your heart still knows right from wrong. Turn back to Him, even in this state of...

To the one who may be feeling worryful in something Allah sent their way. & mini message to the one who is awaiting duas to come to be: Allah swt has not forgotten you. Sometimes making dua consistently to Allah and not seeing anything in front of you may be hard to sit with. But the beauty? Wallahi Allah always makes a way!

Have you ever felt exhausted, burdened, and annoyed by your own actions of being constantly available to other people? There is a reason why! Your life changes when you make the decision to pause, take a step back, and choose yourself... even if it is just for 1 day.

Allah does not judge you. Allah does not shame you. Allah sees your efforts, even if it is little, even if you can't make good decisions in that moment -> Allah knows the intention & desire to do better in your heart So know that the most important thing is to keep trying and trying and trying, no matter how many times you mess up. This bad habit of yours with Allah swt help CAN come to...

The GO-GO-GO mentality is draining us all. With so much to do and so much noise surrounding us, it’s hard to find time to truly show up for ourselves and our relationship with Allah swt. But what if the solution isn’t as complicated as we think? What if it’s simply a choice to rest? What if the little moments of rest are exactly where our hearts reconnect with Allah? What if the peace you feel in...

Have you ever felt like all you're doing is making dua, but have this feeling inwardly it may not work for you? Have you ever felt like all you do is make dua, but you cannot see how it will fall into place for you? Conviction Allah will answer + inward hope/confidence = the beautiful future you dreamed of and more!

If Allah showed you grace, if Allah forgave you, if Allah gave you another chance.. why can't you forgive yourself?

It only takes one step, one choice, one decision to pause. Listen to your heart because it’s pleading for help; for a way back to its Lord.

Belief: "I can never be close to Allah or become a friend of His because He probably sees I am not worthy". Istiqfar + Hope + dua/communication with Allah = closeness with your Rabb You ARE worthy! All it takes is a single step , a single choice , and a single decision to start showing up to Allah SWT.

Belief #3: "Allah won’t ever guide me.. He sees how bad I am" "Allah won’t accept me… I keep failing Him" Don't sit overthinking about what you have done/messed up in and if Allah will forgive you or not, but push forward and take the steps RIGHT AFTER sinning to seek His forgiveness and have the conviction that you are forgiven There's no secret to it, there's no l...

Belief #2 "Allah won't forgive me.. I am destined for doom." Allah swt is the Most Forgiving.. no sin is too much for Him to forgive. Take the shame and regret to Him and run towards His forgiveness rather than drowning in your post-feelings alone/with the shaydaan. Allah loves to forgive!

He keeps closing them" "Allah always b...
