Ep.17 ⏾ Umm Sulaym – Courage Through Loss

I was speaking… and didn’t realize

Sometimes we repeat Surah Al-Fatiha so often that we forget to pause and truly understand it. In this episode, I reflect on Surah Al-Fatiha through Qur’an journaling and what it means to realize that salah is not just recitation, but a conversation between the servant and Allah. Every ayah carries a response… but are we truly present to hear it?

I’m finally back الحمد لله

I took a break from recording and sharing on Becoming Amal. Sometimes we pause things we care about… not because we stop caring, but because life shifts. Alhamdulillah for every stage of the journey🤲🏻💕.

Ep.17 ⏾ Umm Sulaym – Courage Through Loss

The life of Umm Sulaym, also known as Rumaysāʾ bint Milḥān, is a story of patience, devotion, and remarkable strength through hardship. A devoted mother to Anas ibn Malik, she transformed personal loss into faith and service, raising her son in love for Islam and supporting the Prophet ﷺ and the growing Muslim community with sincerity and courage. May Allah grant us patience in times of loss, strength to remain steadfast in our faith, and hearts that trust His wisdom through every trial. Ameeeeen ya Allah 🤲🏻💕🌷

Ep.16 ⏾ Asmāʾ bint Abī Bakr – Strength in the Hijrah

The life of Asma bint Abi Bakr is a story of courage, intelligence, and unwavering devotion. In the dangerous days of the Hijrah, she secretly carried provisions and messages to support the Prophet ﷺ and her father, Abu Bakr, as they hid in the cave of Thawr. Her bravery behind the scenes helped protect the mission of Islam at a moment when every step carried risk. May Allah grant us courage in our faith, sincerity in our service, and hearts that trust His plan even in moments of fear and uncertainty. Ameeen ya Rabbi 🤲🏻.

Ep.15 ⏾ Nusaybah bint Kaʿb (Umm ʿAmmārah) – Warrior at Uḥud

Nusaybah bint Kaʿb, known as Umm ʿAmmārah, was one of the most courageous women in early Islam. On the day of Uḥud, she stood on the battlefield defending the Prophet ﷺ, enduring multiple wounds while protecting the Messenger of Allah. Her story is a powerful reminder that faith is not only patience in hardship, but also courage in moments when truth must be defended. I feel like doing a long episode about her, she is just soooo maa shaa Allah 🥹🌸💞
