Sincerely, Sumayah — Consistency, Mindset & Letting Allah Choose
I realise I haven't touched base with you guys in a little while. On a day-to-day basis I'm doing what most of you are probably doing: juggling my commitments, working, momming and trying my best to hold on to my wird. Alhamdulillah for what Allah (awj) allows us to do. I want to thank the paid subscribers on Substack and tell you guys that you have a home in my duas. I'm aware 6 bucks/quid isn't crazy for most—could be a huge deal for some, but I'm not just talking about the £6. For me it's the spirit of generosity and support that you guys approach my work with and the encouragement and…

Sincerely, Sumayah—Dangerous Times: On Righteousness and Reform
To be absolved before your Lord There's a dangerous finality to what's happening in Ghaza right now. The fear is that Allah (awj)'s anger is not far away from descending to affect humanity collectively and those who supported this massacre and injustice specifically. Civilisations/nations were destroyed for taking part, standing by, and not taking action against the injustice and oppression happening around them. Seeking Allah's forgiveness and calling people back to Allah is the only hope to be spared. It's not a luxury or something extra, it's an absolutely critical, individual obligation…

Sincerely Sumayah — Where Allah Wants You to Be
Allah's plan is perfect. He is teaching us constantly and aligning our affairs in the way that's best for us. Sometimes that doesn't look like what we prayed for. Asking for what's best means staying open to whatever comes, even if it looks like the opposite of what we wanted. “W Aleikum Assalaam Sis, please be consistent with your Istighfaar and aim for high numbers 30k and above. When you are constantly doing Istighfaar there is little to no time for these thoughts, and even if Shaitan persists with these negative thoughts keep up with your Istighfaar and say it out loud ( loud enough for…

Sincerely, Sumayah — A Lonely Path: One Thing After Another
Allah (awj) knows what He is doing. You are in good hands, in the best hands. Keep a notebook/journal or digital record of your answered Duas and all the small miracles that you encounter along the way. Trust that what's happening in any given moment is the very best outcome that could happen. It will happen when the time is right. Allah (awj) is with you. He heard your Duas. He knows your heart. You are not forgotten. He hears you now and always.
