My Journey : How It All Began

In this first episode of Dream. Duʿāʾ. Do., we begin with Dream.Sometimes, we stop ourselves from dreaming because fear feels louder than hope. We shrink our prayers, doubt our worth, and forget that Allah’s power is not limited by our confidence.In this episode, we talk about what it truly means to dream as a Muslim—not for status or validation, but for purpose, sincerity, and direction. We reflect on Allah as Al-Fattāḥ, the One who opens doors we didn’t even know existed, and why dreaming big is not a lack of gratitude, but a sign of īmān.If you’ve ever felt afraid to ask Allah for something that feels “too big” or “too late,” this episode is for you.

A journey that teaches listeners how to dream with tawakkul, make dua with yaqeen (certainty), and take action with ihsān (excellence).The focus is: balance between reliance on Allah and self-effort.Join me as we embark on this journey of self-discovery, growth and improvement in islam and general. Go grab your coffee or tea ☕️ while we listen and grow together 🌸💕.

*Finally, I got it out of the draft*This episode was recorded a month ago, but I was considering whether to release it because I thought it wasn't good enough. After listening to it multiple times, I decided to put it out because it could be beneficial. Disclaimer: Don't mind my little craziness; I'm not crazy, though 😜.*The 99 names of Allah I mentioned,it's a journal not a template or what I was saying*

In this episode we talked about the importance of journaling, while Tadabbur (reflection) and Tafakkur (contemplation) are very important in our daily lives. I also took us on the journey back to my past journal and how i turned my fears and pains into His mercy for me.

This is a writing to myself. A reminder I need… often. Maybe you to do. And when next you post that reminder, that verse, that hadith — and the thought creeps in that you're only doing it to be seen, not for Allah — remind yourself:It’s from the Shaytaan (waswas).Renew your intention. Say to yourself: This is for Allah. For His sake. For His pleasure. For His Jannah.Don’t let the whispers of Shaytaan be the reason you miss out on that mercy, that reward, that connection — that roadway to Jannah.You might not get reviews. No comments. No likes. No reposts. No creativity. No engagement.You might feel alone, unworthy, or useless.That’s normal. You're human. Not a rock. You have feelings — everyone does.But still — keep going.Keep supporting yourself.Don’t despair.Don’t let Shaytaan laugh at you.Make him cry instead.Cry over, losing. Cry over your strength. Cry over your victory."Sufficient for me is Allah, and He is the best disposer of my affairs."Let that be your strength. Your validation. Your pledge. Your anthem.Of course — it’s easier said than done. It’s not as smooth as it sounds.Yes — you’re human. Weak, sinful, full of shortcomings.Yes — you crave validation, motivation, praise, and dopamine highs.But when you fix your eyes on the destination rather than the discomfort of the journey —You’ll start seeking all these needs from your Lord, not His servants.It’s time.Stop hurting yourself.Stop watching theirs.Stop feeding the waswas.Stop self-sabotaging.Let go of “They’ll think I’m acting holy” and the mother of all — negativity.Keep posting.Keep pushing.Keep reminding.And most importantly, focus on the destination.I'm still learning, I'm still struggling. But I'm choosing to keep going. Have you ever felt this way? How do you push through the whispers? subscribe to my substack; https://nanaishaa.substack.comInstagram; https://www.instagram.com/speakdeenpodcast?igsh=aWNzZXlxdnZ5YTdp

We talked about why we feel numbness in prayer. The absence of Khushuu (focus and humility) in Salah (prayer) can be a common challenge for many of us Muslims. and here is a possible solution on how to deal with it; - Understand the meaning: Pondering on the meaning of the Surahs and verses we recite during prayer can help increase our focus and connection with Allah. Taking time to reflect on the translation and interpretation of the verses.- Preparation before prayer: Before starting your Salah, take a few moments to calm your mind, focus on your intention, and remind yourself of the importance of prayer.- Consistency and regularity: Continue to pray regularly, even if you don't feel the Khushuu initially. With time and practice, your focus and connection with Allah may improve.- Dua and self-reflection: Make Dua (supplication) to Allah to help you maintain Khushuu in your Salah. Reflect on your prayer and identify areas where you can improve.- Seek knowledge: Learn more about the Quran, its interpretation, and the significance of Salah. This knowledge can help deepen your understanding and connection with the prayer.Allah said; "Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing" (Al-Ankabut, Q29:45)

Welcome back, everyone! Today's episode is about Dua. "Nothing is Impossible with Dua." In this episode, we shared some personal stories of our own. We talked about the story of Zachariah in (Q:19 v4, 5, and 9). We also talked about stories like how Allah split the moon for Muhammad and the ocean for Musa – and all the related stories. We talked about Allah's promise in (Quran 2, verse 186). And we reminded ourselves about the saying of the prophet in a hadith of bukhari "Ask Allah for anything, even if it's the strap of your shoe that's broken". Join us today as we talked about the impossibilities with Dua. Don't forget to share this with friends and family so we all can benefit from it. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it. Thank you."If there's no limit to what Allah can do for you, why think about limitations? The power of dua is real."
