What I learned:

1 ⇢ Sometimes in life, God doesn't give us what we want to test us to see what really lies in our chests and hearts

 وَلِيَبْتَلِيَ اللَّهُ مَا فِي صُدُورِكُمْ وَلِيُمَحِّصَ مَا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ
 (154) سورة العمران
"And let God test what is in your chests and check what is in your hearts"

 2 ⇢  Choosing to worship God can come from two different places in the heart:
A- I did something for you God and now I am entitled to ___ (whatever that thing is that you're looking for is). This comes from a place of and doubt in the hearts. (Not our place to do that as slaves to The Master)
B- Or a place of a humble slave.

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ خَيْرٌ اطْمَأَنَّ بِهِ وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ فِتْنَةٌ انقَلَبَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ خَسِرَ الدُّنْيَا 
وَالْآخِرَةَ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْخُسْرَانُ الْمُبِين
 ( 11 ) سورة الحج  
"There are among men some who serve Allah, as it were, on the verge: if good befalls them, they are, therewith, well content; but if a trial comes to them, they turn on their faces: they lose both this world and the Hereafter: that is loss for all to see!"


 3 ⇢  The next time you find yourself in a hard situation, what do you want God to see in your heart?

Hi! My name is Noorah, and this is where we help close the gap between Modern Psychology and what Allah says about us in His Book (in both English and Arabic).

I also share secrets and insights into the most common questions I get asked in my private 1 on 1 sessions and my thoughts on them that I don’t share anywhere else. 

To help us:

1- Answer life's BIGGEST questions(or at least start with the right questions!)
2- Go back to the core
3- Bring Allah back into our life

A little bit more about me:

I am a coach, an artist, and the founder of In Conversation. I believe we're all created differently and there's a reason why we're here, and it's my job to help you figure it out. 

Psychology in The Quran is my secret hobby, the glue to everything I do, and I am so glad you're here 💛

Your fan,
Noorah
