So many of us struggle in our Salaah, whether our hearts feel distracted or empty, or we regularly neglect or delay our prayers. In this course, our hearts are reminded of the soul-nourishing connection between us and our Merciful Creator and of the weightiness of Salaah in our lives in this world and in the Hereafter.
This course further clarifies six common misconceptions rooted in “compassionate misguidance” regarding what a Muslim should do if he is she is neglecting or abandoning the Salaah.
Finally, we learn how we can find joy, tranquility, and soul-nourishment each time we stand before our Merciful Creator in Salaah, bi’idhnillaah
MEET UMM ZAKIYYAH
INSTRUCTOR
For years, Salaah felt burdensome to me and I dreaded praying the five daily prayers. Sometimes I felt so weak that I would literally crawl to prayer, while my heart felt empty in every movement, as I just wanted to get it over with. This was during the dark time of my life when I nearly lost my faith. What made this spiritual trial more difficult for me was hearing advice that was meant to be compassionate and empathetic to my struggles, but merely made me feel more and more distant from Allah and more comfortable letting go completely. It was only due to the Mercy and Compassion of Allah that I was saved from abandoning my soul completely. In this course, I share the spiritual lessons I learned from my own emotional and spiritual struggles, as well as from my more than fifteen years of studying Qur’an, tafseer, and Islamic spirituality in the United States, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.

Umm Zakiyyah's Impact
Thank you to Umm Zakiyyah for giving us so many wonderful, inspirational reminders. Please keep doing what you’re doing, because you are saying some of the hard things that we want to talk about but we just don’t know how to verbalize. So when you post things that trigger our emotions and remind us of the good things we should be doing for ourselves and others, it’s a real eye-opener…Please continue to be our voice.”.

There would be times when I would be feeling like, ‘Do you think God will forgive me for the mistakes I’ve done?’ and ‘Do you think that I’ll ever find the way?’ And I would be so scared, and I would feel so lost, and then Ms. Baiyinah [i.e. Umm Zakiyyah] would post something like, ’Don’t forget the mercy of Allah’ and ‘You can always repent as long as you’re alive’ and ‘Every moment is a chance to make the right decision and turn back to the right path…’ And then I’d realize, I do have a chance” and that Allah would forgive me…and everything will be okay…”
