The truest words I've decoded: for a girl, there are always better days yet to come. #pms #hanginthere #yougotthis

In case this doesn't get admitted enough: shout-out to all single parents who act as their child's mom AND dad. It's hard to imagine and so praiseworthy and selfless. (Thank you, Mom! ❤️)

#Reminder You gotta show up for Fajr like you would show up for your job. There an innumerable benefits and blessings in praying Fajr on time, some obvious and some more covert, but increasingly apparent as you get older and mature. #teamfajr

Take it from me: life is way too short to be spent squabbling, worrying, and overthinking. Work hard yes, but don't forget to have fun, enjoy life, and be kind to loved ones including friends and family. #sharethekhayr #spreadthelove

Rumi said that change happens within ourselves first. I believe this is also in the Qur'an (Surah Ar-Rad). Let's change societal problems by being kind and compassionate individuals - and showing that kindness to ourselves first. #thisismyresidingprayer #whereisthelove

'How do you know' is important but so as 'What do you know' and 'Why do you know it.' The first question will substantiate your thoughts, the second what your thoughts actually are, and the last gives you direction or purpose.
