Learn "survival tools for the soul" to help your hurting heart and to find spiritual peace, despite any life trial you are facing.
Watch this video to get a glimpse into each topic we'll be covering in this course, which include guidelines in finding internal peace amidst your own spiritual and emotional struggles.
You might be asking yourself: Why am I still suffering spiritually despite how hard I try?
How do I heal from the harms of people and toxic relationships, to protect my soul? How do I make sense of the loneliness I so often feel as a Muslim in this world?How do I protect my soul from harm in this confusing world, so that I can die as a believer, bi'idhnillaah?
In this course, I will be sharing parts of my own emotional and spiritual journey and how the answers to these weighty questions are in Qur'an and in our embracing the solitude of our soul's journey to its Lord.
MEET UMM ZAKIYYAH
INSTRUCTOR
My first understanding of faith, life trials, and the difficult journey of the soul came as a child after my parents converted to Islam the year I was born. But these early lessons were mainly from my father and mother reading from Qur'an and reminding us, “Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried?” (Al-‘Ankaboot, 29:2).
However, I faced my own trials as a Muslim girl in public school, where both teachers and students humiliated me for covering my hair and following a "weird" religion. I was mocked, called names, and even my headscarf was routinely snatched from my head (and my first experience of this was by a teacher).
As an adult, I faced the life trials of abandonment by friends and loved ones after I began to practice Islam in a way they disliked, and then divorced a "good man" whom the Muslims felt I should remain married to.
Throughout these trials, I went through a very dark period wherein I nearly left Islam. It was through battling my nafs and the crumbling spiritual world around me that I learned so many of the lessons that I share in this course, most of which come from Qur'an, my lifeline during that time. The lessons are also inspired by what I learned from my more than fifteen years of studying Islam, 'aqeedah, and Qur'an in the United States, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

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…”
