Asalamu Alaykum everyone! In this episode, Azfar reflects on experiencing Umrah as a hafidh, what it means to carry the Qur’an in your heart while standing in the places where revelation began. He shares insights on presence, seerah, and how knowledge transforms worship in the Haram and beyond.

Umrah Diaries - Entry 1: Through My Eyes

Asalamu Alaykum :) In this opening episode of Umrah Diaries, I share my personal reflections on our group Umrah trip, comparing it to my first Umrah experience and reflecting on how my perspective, intentions, and awareness have evolved over time. I talk through the emotional and spiritual differences between going for the first time and returning again, and how familiarity with the rituals allows space for deeper presence.

Ep. 017: Finding Faith - A Syrian Revert's Story

Asalamu Alaykum friends!! I'm going to skip the redundant apology for ghosting the podcast and jump to the exciting stuff: new episode with a new guestttt. I always love hearing about people's different paths to Islam, whether born Muslim or revert, and this story is special to me because of who it belongs to :) Eliana is one of the sweetest, most genuine souls you will ever meet, and I thought it was only right for one of my #1 supporters to get her story out there. May Allah reward all of our revert sisters and brothers, for the struggles that they share, and the ones left untold <3

Ep. 015: Brittany's Call to Islam

Do ya'll got a revert author friend? Because I do! Allahuma Barak, Brittany has been a good friend of mine for a while now, having accepted Islam in August of 2022. Her story is one worth sharing, and although I wish I could give you all the details, you guys are going to have to wait until June 2025 to read her autobiography titled "The Call," which she wrote all about her amazing journey. Until then, you can enjoy snippets of her story through this author Q&A that I had the honor of facilitating. p.s. Brittany has her own podcast called "The Melanated Muslimah." Go check it out! I may or may not be featured in one of her upcoming episodes.
