ABOUT ME
From a young age, Allah placed within me a restlessness - a quiet knowing that I was meant to grow beyond the limitations set by cultural expectations and the narrow definitions of who I was told to be. Even as a girl, I felt pulled toward possibility. I expressed myself boldly, dreamed freely, and yearned for a life that reflected my fitrah - the pure, God-given essence with which we are all created. When an opportunity arose to step beyond the boundaries surrounding me in Pakistan, I moved toward it with hope.
Yet in searching for freedom through marriage, I unknowingly stepped into a life that mirrored the very constraints I hoped to escape. For many years, my voice was negotiated, my yearnings dismissed, and my internal world pushed aside. Over time, I found myself spiritually suffocated - living a life that dimmed the potential Allah had placed within me. After twenty-five years, the quiet whispers of my heart grew into a plea for liberation, and I could no longer ignore the amanah of becoming who Allah created me to be.
For much of my life, I silenced my emotions in the name of keeping peace, yet in that silence, I lost peace with myself. Islam teaches us that the heart (qalb) is the seat of sincerity, intention, and guidance - and ignoring it distances us not only from ourselves, but from Allah. I came to realize that dishonoring my inner world was a form of injustice (ẓulm), to myself and, ultimately, to those around me. Change became necessary, and it began with returning to my essence: reflecting, healing, and honoring the signs that Allah had always placed on my path.
Today, with Allah’s mercy, I strive to repair what was wounded - within myself and within my relationships. I follow the quiet pull of my yearnings, trusting that they are often invitations toward growth and alignment. This journey toward authenticity, rooted in tawbah, tazkiyah, and ihsān, has become the foundation of my work with others. I now help women honor their truth, awaken their God-given potential, and reconnect with the wholeness that Allah intended for them.
Most importantly, I am finally becoming the woman that my inner child—the earliest version of my soul—feels proud, safe, and honored to be.
