Ep 89 -Layla's Story- Thinking of Getting Married But My Family is Way Too Involved! (Love Series) Dec 20, 2019

Show notes

A lot of parents could potentially get mad at me....but a lot could see the truth in what I'm saying as well and save the lives of their children from potential ruin. + Family pressure when looking for a spouse is a real thing. I have seen TONS of people marry people they weren't TRULY interested to please their family...only to end of divorced shortly after or trapped in dead end marriages. Yeh....it's a HUGE epidemic in the Muslim community. + I'm taking a HUGE risk talking about it, but I think it's time...and as a practicing Muslimah I'm obligated to speak up, as we all are. + In this podcast, I share the story of a girl that is near and dear to my heart. A girl who suffered immense pain at the hand of those who loved her most. Layla's story is not her own. It is the story of countless Muslims walking the tight rope between family obligation and personal happiness. It's time we talk about this struggle and how we can find balance and solutions, insh'Allah. + **As promised, I will be handing out a FREE resource (a sneak peak portion of my upcoming course The Muslim Marriage Lab) to help you find what you really want in a spouse as you self-reflect. Catch it at my Facebook Live at 7pm Eastern Standard Time tonight (December 20th)!

EP 88- Muslims Celebrating Christmas??? -How to Handle "The Holidays" Dec 16, 2019

Show notes

It’s Christmas time!!! + + What does that mean??? Well…it can mean a whole lot depending on who you are, even if you are Muslim. + + If you are a Muslim Christmas shouldn’t mean anything…we don’t celebrate it. As Rahsool SAWS said, “There are only two Eids.” + + Allah SWA didn’t forget to include any other holidays. Yet, if you have non-Muslim friends or colleagues, it may mean an awkward or difficult time in being invited to attend many parties and gatherings. + + Now if you are a “revert” or “new Muslim” it is EVEN MORE DIFFICULT. This is a nostalgic time of the year when many will be torn between their families and their new religion. + + No matter which category you fall into, the question arises….”How can we handle our family members and friends who need us to participate in a holiday that isn’t in line with our beliefs?” + + In this episode, we talk about how what we can do to find a middle ground and how we can maintain our identity despite the emotion and pressure. + + **No music was used to make this podcast - Alaa Wardi - vocals only **Blog Post: How to Handle the Holidays with Family https://mindful-muslimah.com/2018/12/19/family-in-the-holidays/ **Sign up to get notices on our “Love Series” Facebook Lives, an invasion to our new exclusive FB Group with our 5-day challenge and $250 dollar prize by downloading my checklist.

Ep 87- Mariam's Story: "My Culture Married Me" (Love Series) Dec 13, 2019

Show notes

Ok...this story is INTENSE to say the least! + I was mentioning it to a dear sister I know and the details me picking her jaw up from the floor. She was like, "No way! This does not happen in the Muslim community!" + Am I going to tell you a marriage story about an arranged marriage??!! Definitely not! + This story is pretty unique and yet ohhhh so typical for our people believe it or not. I thousands of girls who have this same story and I need it to be told out in the open. + To bash Islam? Of course not! Instead, to teach our people where our CULTURE is taking preference over our religion. To talk about some things that are causing our young people pain that is soooo unnecessary. + If you are looking for love, are a parent that has to marry their child off in the future or are just curious about what Islam REALLy says please take a listen. Let's dig into Mariam's story and get to the heart of where things went wrong. Hopefully, it can make things easier for our beautiful potential brides and grooms and end the madness once and for all! + If you haven't already caught the first episode in this Love Series, (Episode 85) called "Why We Can't Date in Islam", you will find it here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-85-why-cant-we-date-in-islam/id1447820372?i=1000458811822 + If you are interested in a couple PRO tips on the signs for if you have found "the one", check out my resource here: https://mailchi.mp/mindful-muslimah.com/10signsthatyoumayhavefoundtheone + Catch me on my Facebook page (Mindful Muslimah) at 7pm for our first ever Facebook Live.

EP- 86-How to Get Your Children Excited About Reading (Parenting & Homeschooling) Dec 09, 2019

Show notes

“My kids don’t like to read!” + This is a huge problem for many parents. Devices have taken all of our children’s attention. If We even try to put a book in front of it’s almost like we are torturing them at times. + + In the Qur’an, it tells us that the very first command Allah SWA gave us was to read. This means reading is paramount for us. It opens doors to everything and is the skill needed in every subject. If our deen says it is important and our schools hold it in high regard, we need to make sure our children are readers, insh. + + For the past 20 years as an educator, it has been my job to make children love you. In this podcast, I will share how I get children to engage in books with excitement and even give a tool to use as you support their reading. + + Love Series: The next episode will be on LOVE (this Friday).

Ep 83 - The 2 Urgent Ways Muslim Parenting Needs to Evolve Nov 26, 2019

Show notes

If you are a Muslim parent who is worried about their children you should be!

I'm not sure if we are all aware of the rate at which our youth are leaving Islam, going into haram relationships, engaging in drugs and alcohol and getting into all other sorts of trouble.

But what can we do??? What can any Muslim parent do to protect their children???

Times have changed and so must our approach. The old method of "Muslim parenting" that once worked is now extinct and a completely ineffective way of handling the current state of affairs in our ummah.

In this podcast, I cover the TWO URGENT things every Muslim parent must do, so that our parenting can evolve in this modern world and meet the needs of our children. No worries, we will also cover exactly HOW to implement these suggestions in everyday practical ways.

If you love your children and want them to not only embrace their identity, but also to thrive, you are not going to want to miss this episode.

Ya Allah, another controversial topic!!! *** Warning: Explicit content discussed - Clear any young children from the room I really grappled with this one...to share or not to share...??? I decided we need to just stop pretending that families aren't having these discussions and trying to make these critical decisions and to get it all out into the open. In this episode, I am addressing both late teens and parents. The goal of this podcast is to help families understand what "living away from home in a college environment" really means for our young women. In this podcast, I will break down what is really happening in various living arrangements and give some advice on things to consider when making the big decision. May Allah SWA make it easy for all of our families and give our young women the best of chances and environments to learn and grow. **No music was used to make this podcast- Alaa Wardi-vocals only Don't forget to message me on Instagram with comments and questions on this topic (@Mindfulmuslimah).
