Love all that you do for the Muslim community❤️
“If you’re uncomfortable being bored, take it one step of a time”YESSS🙌💯 “your brain is tired girl” I agree😅
Social media should be as wholesome as this. And you are right, our brains need some rest because we've just be feeding it too much explicit and unnecessary content.
Absolutely adore this page❤❤😊
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "There is a piece of flesh in the body, and when it becomes good (reformed), the whole body becomes good; but when it becomes corrupt, the whole body becomes corrupt. That piece of flesh is the heart." (Sahih al-Bukhari) mansh'allah my Allah give us the patient to just sit and enjoy our present in alone time with Allah . fyi somalia look beautiful ..
I'm a Quaker, and I COMPLETELY agree, our main practice is Silent Worship and its incredible how much the practice is affected by the speed at which people run now. At Quaker schools, the silent worship takes on SUCH a holy feeling, its the gift to silence and stillness until the Light compels you to speak. its hard to hear the holy quiet voice when there's such loud worldly noise. ❤❤ love this message.
so real, so real, so real. silence and stillness allow you to hear your inner voice clearly, allows you to hear Allah's wants for you clearly...it opens new paths because the paths of distractions are closed and we all know that when one door closes, another opens.
After a very traumatic loss, I started recording my thoughts on my phone and randomly began walking in the woods for hours after work. I had cultivated so much inner peace during this time. I have also been asked if something was wrong with me for just sitting and running through my thoughts and I thought that was wild but that is the modern world for you. Been wanting to relocate somewhere peaceful as well... thanks for setting an example.♥
I record for myself too, I rarely go back and listen to the recordings. But they mainly calm me down a lot
When I'm sitting in a relaxed state and someone asks me if I'm okay, I am so triggered and thrown off! Stop! Sister, every single point that you've nailed in your initial video are the same reason why Tanzania gave me so much peace in comparison to USA; I would move to Tanzania in a heartbeat and will move there In shaa Allah. Silence, peace, and connection to God are my only priorities in this life, Alhamdulillah -- Jazakallahu Khair for your reflections.
Last week I found my self mumbling under my breath, when is Nadifah going to upload another video😅
Subhanallah 🥹❤️ thank you so much
Okayyyyy 💅🏾
Keep on going nadifa I support you 24\7❤
I love ❤️ ur move from USA 🇺🇸 to Somalia 🇸🇴 mosque 🕌 hearing prayers but USA 9-5 no god 😆
Mumbling under my breath lol 😂 y’all I mean no 9-5 inSomalia 🇸🇴 no good at least if ur in business of some sort ok but USA 🇺🇸 is nice because they got 9-5 n get u little preoccupied n stuff 👩💼 😆
i used to go retreats with my church, That was on Saturdays and Sundays. Where silence with the HOLY spirit and verses were read to take you inside that place of love and devotion. I am going to add that to my spiritual nourishment.. I am more MYSTIC person.
journaling in silence has been one of the most transforming things eveerr. Every night before going to bed i try to write down everything on my mind and let my thoughts flow. it doesnt have to be much, if nothing is really on my mind i just write down what happened that day. it has helped me discover myself better and reflect more on myself and the relationships i have.
deleting or restricting social media has been so beneficial too. i deleted twitter and tiktok at the beginning of the year already, the only thing that i struggle with is getting rid off is instagram. but i try to make an effort to dont spend too much time on there or deleting the app for a few days at a time.
My life is boring and i love it. Peace and quite is golden. Nadifah totally get where your coming from, people are afraid of alot of things. Facing our fears is part of growth. Beautiful video remind me of Mauritania. I hope to move out of the west soon too Ameen. ❤❤❤
I mostly agree with you, dear Nadifa. I'd just like to add that the problem is in the amount of boredom one gets exposed to (often involuntarily). Most people can survive and manage to deal with their boredom/loneliness for a while but when it extends for too long (due to a certain lifestyle, rejection from society, or mental illness) they can't.
Yea for sure, I agree! Certain cases can make it really hard to find the joy in the silence, boredom, and loneliness
You have a captivating personality masshaAllah
Ma sha Allah blew me away with that first line of poetry..Allahumma barik! May Allah increase us in gratitude and mindfulness. Reminds me of the hadith:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took hold of my hand and said, “O Mu’adh! By Allah I love you, so I advise you to never forget to recite after every prayer:
“Allahumma a’inni ala dhikrika, wa shukrika, wa husni ‘ibadatika”
O Allah, help me remember You, to be grateful to You, and to worship You in an excellent manner.
Yesssss my sister, you came right on time with this video because I just started doing this today. Just sitting and reflecting on myself and what my role to Allah(SWT)is. I TOTALLY agree with you here. I shared your message with more of the sisters in the UMMAH.
Silence activates genius
Love the poetry and aesthetics of your videos, keep them coming! 😊
Sis spoiling us with all these bangers Allahuma Barik
🥹🥹🥹Alhamdulillah thank you
im so glad i found your channel i love your energy and your insights are very helpful. im 19 and your experience is so relatable. i wish you the best in your journey, keep up the good work!!
Girll I love these tadabbur type of video’s, I hope to inshaAllah see more content from you!
Loving your content!!!! I found your page during Ramadan and it was very much needed 💕
Asalamulakium, may Allah continue to elevate you in beautiful ways you never see coming. ❤
This is a practice I've been trying to adapt to. If only the world understood the beauty of this.
Your points reminded me of the book Stolen Focus by Johann Hari. I agree with you that we as a society have become so uncomfortable with silence. We are increasingly becoming normalized and dependent on constant distractions in our modern, fast paced, short term dopamine driven world.
Also you know how you mentioned at 7:14 how you like to zone out the book describes that as mind wandering and there are many scientific benefits to it. But in my opinion because we live in an increasingly digital world were often seen as unproductive or daydreaming if your not constantly doing something; even if that's mindlessly scrolling through your phone for hours.
I do the walking and recording voice notes too! It's so refreshing, especially when walking in nature :))
Salam Alaykum Abayo!
This topic of stepping away from all the noise and becoming recluse reminds me of how prophet Muhammad (SAW) would go outside of the city Mecca and into the cave, then subsequently receiving the first revelation of the blessed and holy Quran.
Absolutely ❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽 Subhanallah
allahuma barik

I love the way you express yourself, and share your thoughts. It's very refreshing, and needed. Have you ever thought about also starting a podcast? I absolutely loveeee the visuals, but I think it would be nice to also be able to just hear you speak when I'm/your audience is on the go, again just a thought. I'm so happy to be here, thank you for cultivating such a sacred intentional space, God bless you.
