CONFERENCE: Remaining Steadfast in Times of Tribulation

If you're feeling unmotivated with homemaking...

Don't wait for motivation, focus on staying disciplined.

Put on some Qur'an recitation or a Dars—listen attentively and let your hands work.

Housework is a blessing, despite the difficulty at times.

It must be done and you're the one for the role. Say alhamdulillah and get it done to the best of your ability. You'll be glad you did إن شاء الله

As-Sajdah 32:17

فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أُخْفِىَ لَهُم مِّن قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do.

English - Mohsin Khan/Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

It's not you vs your child.

It's you and your child vs the problem.

Nothing forbidden in this world will comfort you like

- Knowing + loving Allāh
- Salāh
- Qur'an
- Someone making du'a for you
- Love from your mother

The way you speak to your children will be the way they speak to themselves, eachother and others.

That's a great responsibility. Remember that the next time you feel triggered.

- from me to me

The most powerful form of self-care is obeying Allāh and adhering to the religion.

Muslimah, transform your life in the next 7 days:

1. Wake up early, pray & stay up after fajr.
2. Drink honey mixed with water on an empty stomach.
3. Read Qur'an everyday, without fail.
4. Remember the morning & evening adhkar.
5. Exercise 30 minutes per day.
6. Replace social media with gaining 'ilm.

Your children don't need a mum who:

• Is never emotional
• Cleans all the time
• Does everything for them
• Doesn't rest

They need a mum who:

• Shows how to regulate emotions
• Is present & intentional
• Encourages independence
• Takes care of herself too

It's not easy, but it's essential.

Asalaamu alaykhum, I’m Sophia.

I love to write about homemaking, motherhood, simple living, feminity and more ?

I didn't learn homemaking skills growing up. And my idea of feminity was...

Well that's a story for another time.

But I–in my youthful ignorance–thought I knew what I was doing (spoiler alert: I had no clue).

I barely knew how to cook, tidy a room or organise my time. It was a struggle for me.

Any of this sound familiar to you? You're not alone.

That's why I'm here, to be a sister holding your hand—helping you along the way?

Now, by the Grace of Allāh I can:

●cook up a meal without much thought
●organise my time as a busy mother
●and tidy a room in 5 minutes with ease (on most days).

If you're struggling with overwhelm and looking to simplify, I'd like for us to walk this path together, in sha Allāh.
