A Digital Journal

A Digital Journal is like a voicemail from me to you! It’s reflections and lessons I’m learning as I try to navigate life through the lens of Islam. It’s a space to pause and realign, for both you and me. May these reminders be light for you and me, in this world and the next. *note to self “So remind, for indeed the reminder benefits the believers.” (51:55) “Your Lord has not abandoned you, nor has He become hateful of you.” (Ad-Duhaa 93:3)
