Welcome To Reflections of Heart.
How a personal need for reflection became a website for hearts seeking Allah.
Read here for free.
Have you ever sat down in the silence of your own company reading an ayah of the Quran that stayed in you for days on repeat? Not because you understood it deeply but because that very ayah understood you!
Or other times you found yourself in the state of Sujood, with your heart uttering more than your tongue ever could?
That's where the foundation of this website began.
Not with a brand in mind. Not with a strategy.
But with a moment so small and quiet where I realized my heart was trying to speak and I needed a space to listen, to reflect my thoughts with what it was directing me towards.
In today's digital world full of noise, where everything is filled with reminders, lectures, advises flying in from every direction to you, it gets difficult to organize your thoughts in one place and process all the beneficial information we receive from them.
And as humans, who have the tendency to forget, we always need constant reminders.
Amidst all this, my soul craved for something gentler, something that sits within the heart long after the message has been delivered.
A space not to be told or ordered but to ponder deeply in a world that has forgotten the power of solitude and being in one's own company in order to seek closeness to Allah.
Reflections of the Heart was born out of that need.
A personal corner of the internet where thoughts tied to Deen could unfold slowly, one by one, like the flower blooms after being nourished by rainwater.
Reflections of Heart is my effort and attempt to bring that softness of truly learning and experiencing our religion, Islam back.
It's a space for:
- Quiet reflections on faith, identity, and growth.
- Reminders written more like letters to oneself.
- Words born in silence, sujood, and solitude.
It's not just any other blog website filled with rulings, do's and don'ts or debates on what's right or wrong.
It's more like a journal, to make you feel welcomed, open enough to allow others to glimpse at and reflect their own thoughts in mine.
What's Inside:
Inside Reflections of Heart you'll discover:
- Articles - Deep reflections and stories drawn from my own struggles and teachings in Deen we often don't ponder over much.
- Quranic Reflections - Short, focused ponderings on various verses from every Surah that spoke directly to my soul, and I pray speak to yours too, In Sha Allah.
- 99 Divine Names of Allah - Deep dives into each Name, with prompts and visuals to guide your contemplation.
- Planners - Simple, customizable free Notion templates to cultivate daily dhikr, goal setting, and moments of stillness to journal your own thoughts.
🌿 The Journey of Building It:
I built the site slowly. It wasn't a one day's work. From choosing the best possible designs to finding the perfect images to convey the message clearly and openly.
Making sure the website serves its destined purpose and doesn't feel like another click on the browser.
Something that calmly invites the soul to come and reflect upon the words that I write from within my own struggles in life.
There were moments I doubted it myself, "Who am I to write about Deen?"
But then I remembered: I'm not writing about Deen. I'm writing through it through the lens of my own struggle, longing to get closer to Allah, and to love Him better.
This site isn't meant to be for the perfect.
It's for the one who sins and repents sincerely. The one who misses Fajr never on purpose and still yearns to be close. The one who reads a line of Qur'an and feels like it was meant just for them.
If you've ever felt that tug in your heart, the kind that pulls you gently toward Him, even on your messiest days then this space is for you too.
A Small Invitation🤍
I hope Reflections of the Heart offers you what it offered me: A moment to pause. A chance to feel. A whisper of peace in a noisy world.

May your heart be guided, guarded, and gently turned towards Him , always. Aameen.
