The Digital Sisterhood

Welcome, Friends. Storytelling has the power to not only create connections but provide universal truths about ourselves and the world. When listening to this podcast, I ask that you honor these stories and the rawness, transparency, and vulnerability that they invoke. Invite them with an open heart and you will see that all stories share a universal message. I pray that each anecdote leaves you inspired to share as the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is also charity to utter a good word.” But more importantly, I pray that you allow yourself to find comfort in the good, wisdom in the hardship, and the courage to trust Allah.

What happens in the moments after we leave this world? What does it truly mean to return to our Creator? In this episode, we take you on a journey through the unseen reality of death—not the supernatural unknown, but the inevitable path every soul will take.

We sit with someone who prepares bodies for burial, uncovering the sacred and intimate process of washing, shrouding, and saying farewell. Through reflection and deep conversation, we explore what it means to die, what it means to be remembered, and what awaits us beyond this life.

This is more than an episode—it’s a reminder. La ilaha illah Allah.
Because at the end of it all, that’s what remains.

La ilaha illah Allah

There’s a world just beyond the veil, where shadows linger and whispers echo, where a flicker of doubt or fear can pull us into places we’d never thought we’d go. For Aliatou, the allure of this world wasn’t born of fear, but of curiosity—a desire to reconnect with her ancestral roots. In her search for deeper meaning, seeking to understand the traditions of her ancestors, she taps into something ancient and powerful. But as she ventures into the unknown, the line between the curiosity for her heritage and the dangerous forces she invited into her life begins to blur.

Part 1 of Aliatou’s journey explores her fascination with the unknown and her descent into the world of Santeria. It’s a tale of curiosity, spiritual struggle, and the danger of seeking answers in places where light cannot reach. As she opens herself to the unseen, the forces she encounters begin to change her in ways she never imagined, setting the stage for the darkness that lies ahead.

Go back and Fetch - Part 1

In the second part of Aliatou's journey, the forces she once sought to control now dominate her life, leaving her spiritually lost and broken. The darkness consumes her, and she is left with nothing but the weight of her choices. But even in the darkest moments, a flicker of light remains—an undeniable call back to the faith she once knew.

This episode explores Aliatou’s painful struggle to reclaim her soul, to return to Islam, and to seek Allah's mercy. It’s a story of repentance, healing, and the profound transformation that comes with reconnecting to the Divine.

This episode is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the endless mercy of Allah (SWT).

Go back and Fetch - Part 2

We know that Allah SWT has not sent down any disease, but that he also sent its cure. And that cure is His book, His words, His guidance. But are we utilising it? 

In this episode we are joined by Umm Muhammad, who talks to us about the prophetic tradition of Ruqyah - how to revive it and practice it, and how to protect oneself against the trials that we have discussed in the season so far. 

Allah SWT does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear, and this conversation reminds us to return to Him and fear only Him, because he is As-Shifa, our ultimate protector and source of healing.

Pockets of Refuge

In today’s episode, we sit down with Sayema - a Muslim psychotherapist - for a deeply-personal story about the unseen costs of having our lives be too visible online. What began as a mission to offer healing and service turned into a slow, quiet unraveling under the weight of envy, burnout, and the spiritual harm of evil-eye. 

Sayema’s story is raw, reflective, and shows her ultimately-redemptive journey of what happens when the healer via psychotherapy becomes the afflicted; and finds the cure not in the algorithm, but in the Quran, and from Al-Shifa, The One Who Heals.

At the age of 14, Amal's move to Toronto taught her that home is not a place but a person. The word Hooyo (mom) comes from the root word Hooy which means Home. But what happens when that home is temporary?
