MY LIFE PURPOSE:
To unwaveringly obey ALLÂH ﷻ through breathing ISLÂM as the way of life by being, doing, living, loving and dying in complete submission to HIM ﷻ.
{قُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِى وَنُسُكِى وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِى لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ}
{Say, [O Muhammad], ‘Surely my prayer, my sacrifice [offering], my life, and my death are all for Allâh – Lord of all the worlds.’}
(006:162)
MY HIGH CORE VALUES:
For RECONNEXION, REALIGNMENT and REBALANCE
- ALLÂH ﷻ
- Salâh, Ruqyah and Du’â

{Say, [O Muhammad], ‘If you should love Allâh, then follow me, and Allâh will love you and forgive your sins for Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.’}
(03:31)
MY ETHOS ~ ESSE:
The Panacea to ALL that ails our ESSENTIAL NATURE is within us by simply Embodying the ESSENCE of Tawheed, TO BE Muslims, AND Breathe Islâm as a Way of Life, for a Healing Heart until we return to ALLÂH ﷻ.

worshipping Him is freedom,
humility before Him is dignity,

MINI ME ~ AN EMPOWERED EMPATH:
My energy revolves around transparency, graceful ageing and my personal values: heart healing, creative expression, versatile self-growth and deliberate learning. I’m all about congruency, truth, trust, fairness and kindness. I believe in prevention over treatment, – ‘A dirham of prevention is better than a wealth of cure.’ – possibility over hope, dancing with discomfort, embracing fear and gracious gratitude over complaints (a luxury in and of itself). I’m also a perpetual functional learner, an insatiable bibliophile and avid otaku.
‘Every gulp of air that goes out in a cause other than the cause of ALLÂH ﷻ will turn to sorrow and regret on the Day of Judgement.’
Imām Ibnul Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah رحمه الله

MY SPECIALISATION:
Mini WHY: Enlightening mindful hearts to gain clarity so they commit to consistent healing choices for themselves, others and all of creation inshâ’Allâh.
Healing Words of Beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, ‘The most beloved of deeds to ALLÂH ﷻ are those that are most consistent, even if small.’
Curious Creative: Written and visual expression as a writer, poet and visual artist. ‘Every gulp of air that goes out in a cause other than the cause of ALLÂH ﷻ will turn to sorrow and regret on the Day of Judgement.’ ~ Imām Ibnul Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah رحمه الله
Clarity Coach: Healing Words of Beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, ‘Tie your camel and trust ALLÂH ﷻ.’
Mindful Heart Mentor: Healing Words of Beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, ‘Indeed, there is in the body a bite-size [organ], if mended, the whole body will be healed, and if corrupt then the whole body will be ruined; indeed, it is the heart.‘
Eco-Conscious and Eco-Conscientious AromArtisan™: Natural whole earth aromatics, and ethically raised and sourced creations, as well as ecotherapy, for physiological, psycho-physiological, psycho-emotional, psycho-social and physical nourishment.
MY FOCAL FIVE:
Five areas I focus on are the spending of time, health, energy, gained money, and gained knowledge and skills, at a physiological (cellular bodily functions for thriving mitochondria), psycho-physiological (psychosomatic), psycho-emotional (heart, brain, mind, nervous system, neuroendocrine, energy), psycho-social (individual behaviour and thoughts and social interrelations ~ connexions, interactions, relationships, societal, ummah) and physical (external factors and environment – avocation, deeds, earnings, surroundings, vocation) level.
Always asking the following when focussing on the above five spendings to gain further clarity:
Does it bring me closer or further away from ALLÂH ﷻ?
Does it contribute to a healing or unhealing way of life?
Does it enhance or hinder the quality of any life?
Does it create ease or burden for the self or others?
Does it support or disrupt the self, humanity, creations and/or the earth?
Honouring present deeds, experiences and habits through self-witness, -reflection and -inquiry to then encourage deep meaningful change, nourishment, healing, rewiring and transformation for heart resiliency and graceful ageing.
MY TOP 5 HOWs:
HOW I REALISE MY MINI WHY: Functional Framework for an open, receptive and embracing ear, mind and heart.
HEART HEALING: | Grasp and embody Ash-Shahâdah for TRUE LOVE to appreciate the ultimate truth, mercy, kindness, gratitude, forgiveness and patience, with unwavering devotion for surrendering freedom and flexibility (heart resiliency). |
HONE INTUITION: | Assimilate and implement Istikhâra Prayer for ALL decision-making, before EVERY deed, in ALL areas of life. |
ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS: | Clarify the fundamental principles for a firm (and fuss free) foundation (for flexible flow). |
SIMPLIFYING THE COMPLEX: | See, assess and deconstruct the big picture into small sustainable systems™ to simply start and develop deliberate dedicated deeds. |
REGENERATE CLARITY: | Explore possibilities by discerning the facts, identifying discrepancies and preconceptions, and reframing perspectives and perceptions, for a critical, constructive, neutral and objective mindset shift. |
{Then We made you successors in the land after them so that We may observe how you will do.}

MY WHAT:
The ways I execute my why and how, illustrating all the above, is expressed so far via the posts shared on this website predominately in writings (articles, poetry, reviews), with more to come inshâ’Allâh, and future works portrayed visually (a wee online nook where my artistic endeavours colourfully make their way into their new abode) using art as a visual means of expression when words do not suffice.
I also conduct private and selective coaching and mentoring for a more preventative care lifestyle, and heart, mind and body resiliency and rewiring.
I am currently in transition delving deeper into my personal values by honing and enhancing my skills be it in self-growth, creative expression and deliberate learning. Due to my ongoing eclectic experience, I amalgamate all that I have learned – and continue to learn – into the works I do and will do inshâ’Allâh.
Only those who have already experienced a revolution within themselves can reach out effectively to help others.
