In this episode, the second lecture delivered in reading Masjid, we explore what true sisterhood looks like when it is rooted in taqwa — consciousness of Allah. In a world where many Muslim women feel isolated, misunderstood, or wounded by past relationships, Islam offers us a higher model of connection: bonds built for the sake of Allah that uplift, protect, and empower. We discuss the importance of righteous companionship, how taqwa shapes healthy relationships, and why not every friendship is meant to look the same. This episode also addresses common struggles in sisterhood — comparison, jealousy, broken trust, and emotional exhaustion — and how setting boundaries is actually part of fearing Allah. Whether you are a mother, a single sister, navigating loneliness, or seeking deeper faith-centred friendships, this conversation will remind you that sincere sisterhood is an act of worship. When women come together with Allah at the centre, hearts heal, faith grows, and bonds become a means of drawing closer to Him.

This talk was given live in Reading Masjid's Sister's Conference. In a world that rewards exposure and constant visibility, Islam offers a different path. The Hidden Pearl: Modesty as Her Strength explores the true meaning of ḥayāʾ (modesty) — not as weakness, but as a source of dignity, confidence, and inner power. Through Qur’anic reflections, prophetic teachings, and timeless examples of righteous women, this talk invites Muslimahs to reconnect with modesty as a means of honour, self-respect, and closeness to Allah.

In this episode, we explore powerful duas for our children taken from the Qur’an and Sunnah — duas for their iman, character, protection, health, and future. Parenting can feel overwhelming, but turning to Allah reminds us that we are never raising our children alone. This is a reminder that: Dua is a form of active parenting Allah cares about our children more than we ever could Even when we feel tired, worried, or unsure, dua reaches where our hands cannot Whether you are making dua for a newborn, young child, teenager, or adult child, these supplications are a way to place your trust back with Allah and find peace in your heart.
