    The Barakah of Pain

    Bismillāh. Assalāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh, sweet sisters. Let’s talk about something that touches every one of us — pain, struggle, inconvenience. It comes in so many shapes, doesn’t it? Maybe you’re a student with deadlines stacking up, or a teacher worrying over your class, a mother juggling little ones while feeling completely worn…

    حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ — Come to Success

    Bismillāh. Assalāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh, dear sisters. Today’s reminder is about something we all know is important — yet it’s the one thing so many of us still struggle with.

    Pretty in Peace

    Bismillāh. Let’s remind ourselves: hijab is not a trend. It’s not just a cultural expression. And it’s certainly not a form of restriction. Hijab is an āyah — a sign — from Allah ﷻ.

    The Hidden Barakah of Our Menstrual Cycle

    Bismillāh. Assalāmu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullāhi wa barakātuh, dear sisters 🌸 Let’s talk about something that doesn’t often get talked about — our periods. In so many cultures and households, menstruation is still treated as a taboo topic. It’s awkward. It’s “private.” It’s brushed under the rug. But the reality is, it’s a regular and significant…

    The Quiet Barakah of Being a Muslimah

    Bismillāh. Assalāmu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullāhi wa barakātuh, dear sisters 🌸 Can we pause for a moment, sis? Not just the kind of pause where you put your phone down and scroll later — but a real, deep breath kind of pause. The kind that makes you look around your life and say, SubḥānAllāh… there’s barakah…

    Al Bidāyah – The Beginning

    Bismillāh Assalāmu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullāhi wa barakātuh, dear sisters! Welcome, welcome! I’m so happy you’ve found this little corner of the internet. May Allāh make it a source of benefit, barakah, and closeness to Him — āmeen. Fīhā Barakah is a blog I created to reflect on what it means to live as a Muslimah…
