Description

We continue our Women’s Health series by focusing on our spiritual health today with Zahra Aljabri, founder of Practical Muslim. She joins us on the podcast today to discuss developing our relationships with Allah SWT in order to strengthen what we have with our kids. She is a spiritual coach who reminds that motherhood is an act of worship and in itself is a way to gain closeness to Allah SWT. ****One of our biggest complaints is often feeling disconnected from God because of our daily human work of raising kids: laundry, school, meal prep, working outside the home, etc and not being able to experience extra acts of worship. This happens to ALL of us, Ummi/Ammi/Hooyos! This conversation helps unburden us from feelings of inadequacy and shame that undermine our motherhood/personhood, and helps us break unhealthy cycles of spiritual and emotional trauma before we pass them onto the next generation. This is a rainy day, sit by a window with a cup of tea and slippers episode you don’t want to miss. Zahra’s perspective, practice, direction right back to our fitrah (original nature) and enthusiasm for Allah SWT are enough to listen and replay.****You [Prophet] cannot guide everyone you love to the truth; it is God who guides whomever He will. He knows best those who will follow guidance.

Mommying While Muslim is a one of a kind podcast where two American born and bred Muslim moms share their experiences to raise second generation kids. Having experienced both pre and post 9/11 America, they're acutely aware of the unique challenges their families face on top of the regular messes that all moms share. Mommying While Muslim is a space to take back their stories, and tell those no one will air on the news or portray fully or fairly in the media.Zaiba Hasan and Uzma Jafri are moms first, careerwomen second, and global citizens at heart. They meet taboo topics head on because they weren't allowed to do it growing up, not at home or at school and work. They aim to better their immediate households, communities, and their momsisterhood the world over by telling the truths sometimes people don't want to face or to hear. Not everyone has the privileges they have, and they are eager to learn more than they are to share their own experiences. Always looking to give back, they find women and families who need a mic because no one needs a voice; they just need an opportunity to speak. Besides tough social issues, they also tackle political ones because when laws affect their kids, they're coming for them as well as the ones who make them! There's no lane that doesn't get taken here.Along the way, they recruit momallies for Muslim Americans who have been inordinately targeted for the last 20 years. True moms know that ALL our children deserve to be safe, loved, and happy, and we bust every yellow brick on the Islamaphobic road to make sure they all are. If you like good trouble, this one's for you!
