Soul notes with F.

Between Striving and Mercy. A quiet reflection on self-mercy as an act of worship—learning to soften without losing sincerity, and to return to Allah with hope, not harshness.

Allahuma Ballighna Ramadanyes- already As Ramadan quietly leaves, I’m holding onto what it taught me—how to slow down, return to Allah, and soften my heart again. This episode is a reflection on the lessons that only come in stillness… and how to carry them beyond the month 🤍

ALHAMDULILAH 🥹🥹🥹 please pray for me when you hear this, PLEASE.Khushu’ is when the heart arrives before the body stands.Du’a for khushu:Allahumma arzuqnā khushūʿan fī ṣalātinā, wa nūrًا fī qulūbinā, wa ḥuḍūrًا maʿak fī kulli ʿibādah.O Allah, grant us humility in our prayer, light in our hearts, and presence with You in every act of worship.~On ghaflah (heedlessness):Ghaflah isn’t forgetting Allah, it’s remembering Him while the heart is elsewhere. The tongue moves, the body stands, but the soul is distracted.A short reflection:Ghaflah often sneaks in quietly. We still pray, still make dhikr, still say Alhamdulillah but our thoughts wander, our worries speak louder, and our hearts feel distant. It’s not rebellion; it’s neglect. And Allah, in His mercy 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂 keeps inviting us back.Soft tips to move from ghaflah to khushu: • Pause before worship. Even 10 seconds to breathe and say “Bismillah” or “Allahumma ḥaḍḍir qalbī” (O Allah, make my heart present). • Lower the noise. Too much scrolling, rushing, and multitasking hardens presence. Khushu grows in quiet. • Understand one line. Choose a single ayah or dhikr you understand deeply, let it anchor you. • Speak to Allah honestly. Tell Him when you feel distracted. Presence begins with sincerity, not perfection. • Consistency over intensity. Small, regular moments of mindful worship soften the heart over time.Closing reminder:Ghaflah is not the end it’s just a signal & every signal is an invitation to return ♡ Oh Allah forgive us, guide us and bless us.

As we close the door on 2025 and quietly step into a new year, and into the sacred month of Rajab, this episode is an invitation to slow down. To choose intentions over pressure, softness over survival, and return over perfection. Not to become someone new overnight, but to walk back to Allah gently, honestly, again and again.Allahuma barik lana fi Rajab wa Shaban wa Ballighna Ramadan, Ameen ya Rabbil Alameen ♡

**You are not behind. You are being refined.** And every test you face is just a reminder: Allah still sees potential in you worth purifying. So hold on, with trust — because this chapter isn’t your ending, it’s the making of your soul.

In this episode of Soul Notes with F, we explore the quiet power of saying Bismillah and the wisdom of minding our own business. Join me as we reflect on how these simple yet profound practices can protect your peace, sharpen your focus, and deepen your connection with Allah ﷻ.Through gentle reminders, practical tips, and moments of reflection, we’ll uncover how intention transforms ordinary actions into acts of worship, and how safeguarding your energy allows your heart and soul to flourish. This is a space to pause, breathe, and nurture your inner calm — peaceful, personal, and reflective.

This episode is for us all seeking a heart - centered approach to Islam, a reminder to prioritize connection over appearances, and a guide to making faith truly theirs - beyond the screen. 🤍

✨ Faith in the Waiting ✨Dua is answered in ways we may not see right away. Waiting is not silence from Allah—it’s His wisdom at work. Trust the delay, for Al-Mujeeb always responds.

A gentle seed in hearts will grow,Guided by mercy’s light, our souls will shine.This divine gift of peace will spread,A beacon of hope in every night.As a lantern in the darkest hour,Allah’s light will forever guide us.Though moments fade, the goodness we sow,In kindness, will forever endure.

Salaam Alaykum 🤍When fear fills your heart, let faith in Allah flood it with peace.Fear whispers doubt, but faith whispers Allah is enough.True peace begins the moment you place your trust in Allah. Fear may shake you, but tawakkul anchors you.When you let go of fear, you fall into Allah’s mercy.

Salaam Alaikum! Eid Mubarak Lovelies 🤍Taqabbalhu Minna Wa Minqum! I hope you had a lovely day and spent your Eid in peace and happiness. On this episode, “Journaling & Jannah,” dives into the powerful connection between self-reflection and spiritual growth. Discover how the simple act of journaling can help you hold yourself accountable, heal from within, and strengthen your relationship with Allah. Through honest writing, heartfelt du’as, and conscious reflection, you’ll learn how to turn pages into prayers and moments into milestones on the path to Jannah.A dua’a to make : OhAllah, let my reflections draw me nearer to You, cleanse my heart from what weighs it down, and make every word I write a step toward Your mercy and Jannah. Ameen..

This episode is for the nights when your mind won’t rest and your heart feels heavy. When anxiety creeps in and you’re left wondering why things aren’t working out. I speak from the heart about overthinking, silent struggles, and what it really means to trust Allah’s timing—especially when it feels like nothing is happening. If you’ve been waiting, worrying, or wondering if Allah hears you… this one’s for you. You’re not alone, and you’re not forgotten. and Allah has got you, I got you too 🤍

Salaam 🥹🥹🥹 Unplanned but a fav episode i recorded 🤍This was so natural. I feel like i could speak more on this because Alhamdulilah I’ve learnt how to handle and use social media. It wasn’t easy years ago but currently, it’s the easiest. I’m so ready to let go off it completely and i prayed for days like this 🤍. Looking back, i always knew I’d leave eventually because I don’t belong on social media or in the mix and look at me; living. Trust me, life is better off social media. Our minds remember what we see and think we think of things we don’t even see so do good to your mind. Pray to Allah to make it easy for you. In sha Allah you’ll love it offline. Even when life gets heavy, don’t run to social media. Run to Allah, your prayer mat and yourself. Trust me on this. I hope you love the episode. May it be beneficial to me and you 🤍 Ma’Salaam. Until next timeMay Allah protect me, my family, you and your family. May He forgive and be merciful upon my sister Aisha and all those who’ve passed away and those who have no one to pray for them 🤍

Season 1, Episode 15! 📿🤍The end of the Ramadan series - bittersweet. If you take just one thing from Ramadan and keep it consistent, you have won. Whether it’s one Sunnah prayer, one daily ayah, or one sincere dua—hold onto something.Because Ramadan was never about changing for just 30 days. It was about transforming for a lifetime.May Allah grant us the ability to carry the blessings of Ramadan beyond Eid, to stay steadfast in our faith, and to continue striving towards Him every single day.

Season 1, Episode 9! 📿🤍I HAD TO TEACH MYSELF TO LISTEN TO MY RECORDINGS; I can't always listen to videos I'm talking in, or voice notes I send but I had to learn for the podcastnot a huge thing but proudmoment. SISTERS I slacked!! But Alhamdulilah I'm back. I was stressed and overwhelmed. Exams season isn't for the weak but it's nearly overrr! Excited and Alhamdulilah.

Keep me in your dua'as x

Season 1, episode 8!📿🤍Ramadan without distraction means LIMITING. We don’t have full control over the world, only over ourselves so we have to limit what we do, and have access to. Ramadan is so special because it’s a time for us to slow down, reflect and strengthen our relationship with Allah. In this time, it’s so hard to not get distracted. No matter what, there’s always 1 thing - 1 little thing could get us distracted. Let’s work on that. For me, it was Instagram & Instagram and so far so well. I hope I stay consistent and I know I will in sha Allah because I’ve made dua’a and Allah makes everything possible. In this episode, we’re talking about how to cut down on screen time and stay focused so we can truly make the most of this blessed month. It’s not about completely ditching technology—it’s about creating balance and being more intentional with our time.Let’s try and do good, being more present in the moment because see how lucky we are to experience another Ramadan. Alhamdulilah 🤍.

Season 1, Episode 7! 📿🤍– A Conversation with AllahDu’a isn’t just about asking for things—it’s about opening your heart to Allah, knowing that He’s always listening. It’s those quiet moments when you put everything into words, whether it’s gratitude, pain, hope, or simply the need for guidance. Sometimes, du’a comes with tears, and other times, it’s just a silent thought—but no matter how it’s made, it’s never ignored. Even when answers don’t come the way we expect, Allah is always responding in ways we may not yet understand. Du’a is a reminder that no matter what we’re going through, we are never alone—Allah is always near. Trust Allah, He’s got you! Tawakkul 🤍Make dua’a a lot - ask for forgiveness too!!! Return to Allah before you return to Him. Always make dua’a. I’m a prayer warrior, I’m grateful for all the opportunities I get to make dua’a. It’s Ramadan tomorrow, I AM EXCITED Alhamdulilah 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 ya Allah accept our dua’as, deeds and sujuds. AMEEEENAlways include me in your dua’as. Jazakumullahu Khairan.

Season 1, Episode 5! 📿🤍Hey, you.Ramadan is special—a time to slow down, reconnect, and realign. But that doesn’t mean life stops or slows.

Season 1, Episode 4! 📿🤍Sins, Slip-Ups & Starting Fresh We all have moments where we fall short—whether it’s delaying a prayer, slipping back into bad habits, or feeling distant from Allah. Just remember every single day is a chance to start again. Allah’s mercy is infinite, and He loves when we turn back to Him, no matter how many times we’ve slipped. TURN BACK TO ALLAH BEFORE YOU RETURN TO HIM !!!!!! .A small step today, a sincere du’a, a little more effort—it all counts. You are not your past mistakes. You are the effort you make to grow.Take a deep breath. Reset. And remind yourself: Allah’s mercy is always greater than your sins. #NewDayNewDua #FreshStart #MercyOverMistakes

Season 1, Episode 3 📿🤍Think about what you want to improve spiritually, mentally, and physically during this month. Example of possible goals are: • Praying all five salah on time with khushu • Reading and reflecting on the Quran daily. • Memorizing new surahs. • Increasing dhikr (remembrance of Allah). • Giving more and helping those in need. • Practicing patience and kindness. • Strengthening family ties.May this Ramadan be a time of deep connection, personal growth, and lasting change.
