A Time for Realignment and Purpose
Alhamdulillah, as of the 2nd of March, 2025, we are in Australia and now on Day 2 of Ramadan, and I can now feel the shift within my heart, my mind, and my purpose. Leading up to this blessed month, it has been a time of reflection, renewal, and realignment.
For the past six weeks, I have been logged out of my social media accounts. Having children can mean these types of things are bound to happen, and of course that one time I give my 7 year old my phone so I can rearrange furniture…once again haha. Turns out kids will click anything to download a game they MUST have, which resulted in my other apps being deleted because I'm sure we’ve all experienced it, lack of storage space and also lack of wanted to delete anything from our phones >_< Honestly, at first, it was unexpected, almost inconvenient. But as the days passed, I began to see it for what it truly was: a blessing from Allah. An important pause.
A moment to step away from the noise and distractions and truly listen, to my own heart, to my intentions, and most importantly, to Allah’s guidance.

A Time to Realign with My Goals and Intentions
We always say Ramadan is a time to strengthen our faith, to fast, to pray, and to seek forgiveness. But it is also a time to realign ourselves with our purpose and to ask the deeper questions:
- Am I living in accordance with my values?
- Am I using my time wisely?
- Am I creating content and spaces that truly serve and uplift others?
- What do I want to nurture within myself and within my community?
Being away from social media has given me the clarity to restructure the future of what I do, whether its on this platform or in life itself, for myself and those around me. It has allowed me to slow down and reflect on what truly matters, not just in my personal journey but also in what I put out for other women who walk this path, seeking to be their best selves.
If you've made it this far and are excited to see where it all goes, I'd love to have you, get notified when a letter comes out so you can join in the uplifment and encouragement to striving toward goals and growth within yourself, inshaAllah.
Peace and Blessings, Zainab x
