How much of our dua is asking, and how much actually involves thanking? 🤲

Anse Tayyaba Syed reflects on comparison syndrome, and recommends a simple daily practice: a two-line dua journal. Start making dua for others and expressing gratitude for your blessings and watch how it shifts your perspective.

Sisterhood & Suhba: What Makes a Sister? 🤍

Join us for our RabaTEENS October Chat as we talk about sisterhood, friendship, and the meaning of suhba, good companionship that helps us grow closer to Allah ﷻ and become better versions of ourselves.

Together, teens will reflect on what makes a friendship feel safe and meaningful, the qualities we look for in good friends, and the kind of friend we want to be for others. Through conversation and activities, there will be plenty of opportunities for our teen girls to share, reflect, and connect with one another, inshallah.

Our Monthly Chats are spaces for Muslim teen girls to connect with their peers, build friendships, and experience meaningful suhba and companionship in a welcoming and supportive environment.

This free RabaTEENS Monthly Chat is for Muslim girls ages 12 to 17.

At ISNA earlier this month, Anse Dr. Tamara Gray spoke about dealing with loneliness, and a wonderfully simple piece of advice she shared was to set aside two hours in your week; one to learn something new, and one hour to give.

She spoke directly to the women who feel the impact of loneliness most, especially those whose children have grown and left home, and reminded them that starting small is enough. Learning tends to be the easier place to start, since it naturally puts you in front of new people, and many women have already found community through Ribāṭ Riverstead.

If this resonates and you've been thinking about taking a course, registration closes September 28.
