An Ordinary Life

This episode, we are trying to help Muslim Women sort through all the noise surrounding finding a suitable spouse. The matrimonial world has become a minefield of opinions, experts and coaches who have only managed to confuse and overwhelm everyday women who just want someone to hold their hand and give them something simple and valuable to hold on to. If this is you, then it is our hope that this episode will bring you some peace and clarity.

This one’s honest. We’re talking about the things that don’t get said enough: – Racism within the Ummah – Colourism and its roots – The silence Black Muslims are asked to maintain – And why accountability isn’t an attack — it’s love Personal stories, real talk, and a call to do better — together. 🎧 Now streaming on all platforms. 🔗 Link in bio.

In this deeply personal solo episode, I share a story I’ve never told in full before—my journey to spiritual awakening and financial independence. Born into Islam but finding my way to Allah as an adult, I reflect on the pivotal moments that shaped my faith—from the comfort of community to the solitude of motherhood and migration. And when life threw me the hardest test—divorce after 14 years of marriage—I was left with £7 in my account. This episode is about survival, sincerity, and what it really means to trust Allah when the rug is pulled from under your feet. It’s also a call to my sisters: faith is essential, but so is financial foresight. Whether you’re married, single, divorced, or just searching—you may hear pieces of your own story in mine. 🎧 Listen now. 📨 Share with a sister who needs this. #AnOrdinaryLifePodcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/an-ordinary-life--6511493/support.t

Muslim Women, Money & the Business of Building Wealth In this episode, Nurah and I are unpacking the layered, often unspoken relationship Muslim women have with money, work, and self-worth. From childhood memories to stealth wealth and side hustles, we explore the shame, the hustle, and the hope that comes with earning and building. We ask: •Why are so many Muslim women turning to business? •Where does our money mindset come from? •And how do we make peace with ambition in a world that sometimes shames it? This one’s for the working woman, the silent saver, the ambitious dreamer, and the mama making miracles happen on a budget.
