They say if there’s something you want with all your heart. By His Command, the whole world will work to bring it to you.

And today I realised that just like in the films, in real life, In the end, everything turns out okay.

And if it’s not okay, then it’s not the end.

The film isn’t over yet.

What does it really mean to wait for love, for connection, for a du‘ā you’ve been waiting for to happen?

In this episode your certified lover girl, Cadar, invites you into The Waiting Room, that quiet, in-between space where hope meets surrender. Inspired by a reflection from Sophia Kabiito, a Certified Integrative Wellness & Life Coach, this conversation explores what it means to become the heart that already feels the love you’re praying for.

Through stories of longing, the lessons of Adam and Hawa, and the wisdom of Shaykh Yahya Ibrahim, we uncover how love has been part of our design all along not as a fairytale, but as an act of faith.

Because maybe waiting isn’t punishment. Maybe it’s preparation. And maybe love, real love starts with the One who wrote it for you in the first place.

Dear listeners 

This season, we return to the first love story, Adam & Hawa. Not a tale of fleeting romance, but of divine purpose. A bond written by Allah, blessed in Paradise, tested on Earth and built on sukūn (tranquility), raḥmah (mercy) and unity of the soul. 

The book design is meant to reflect our search for meaning in what’s written for us, the prayers we hold, the dreams we chase, and the heartbreaks that shape us. Each page, blank or filled, is a reminder that Allah’s story for us unfolds in perfect time and wisdom. 

This is our Ode to them,

& to the sacred love Allah continues to write in all of us. 

With love,

The Digital Sisterhood

Dreams marked the beginning of revelation — and in Islam, they remain a sacred thread to the unseen.

In this episode, we explore the spiritual power of dreams with Ustadh Arif (Abu Muhammad), a dream interpreter who’s helped countless Muslims find meaning in the messages they receive at night.

We also follow Syeda’s powerful journey — a vivid dream that changed everything, told and interpreted live for the first time.

Some dreams fade by morning.
But some? They stay with us — and if we listen, they just might lead us home.

✨Community Spotlight: Say Somaali✨

In this episode, we’re highlighting Say Somaali — a grassroots initiative supporting Somali students in Toronto. Now in its 3rd year, their Community Scholarship Fund has already awarded over $30,000 to students in fields like Engineering, Public Health, and Political Science.

Every dollar raised goes directly to students — no overhead, just impact. This year, they’re aiming to raise another $30,000, and The Digital Sisterhood is proud to partner with them.

Aisha RadiAllahu anha dua (for good dreams):

Aisha radhi allaahu anha would say in dua:

عن عائشةَ أنَّها كانتْ إذا أرادَتِ النَّومَ تقولُ: اللهم إنِّي أسأَلُكَ رُؤيا صالحةً صادقةً غَيرَ كاذبةٍ، نافعةً غَيرَ ضارَّةٍ. وكانتْ إذا قالتْ هذا قد عرَفوا أنَّها غَيرُ متكلِّمةٍ بشيءٍ حتى تُصبِحَ، أو تَسْتيقِظَ مِن الليلِ.

”‘Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to say when she intended to sleep:

‘O Allah, I ask You for a righteous, truthful dream — not false, beneficial and not harmful.’

And when she said this, they (the people around her) would know that she would not speak to anyone until morning or until she woke up during the night.”

What happens in the moments after we leave this world? What does it truly mean to return to our Creator? In this episode, we take you on a journey through the unseen reality of death—not the supernatural unknown, but the inevitable path every soul will take.

We sit with someone who prepares bodies for burial, uncovering the sacred and intimate process of washing, shrouding, and saying farewell. Through reflection and deep conversation, we explore what it means to die, what it means to be remembered, and what awaits us beyond this life.

This is more than an episode—it’s a reminder. La ilaha illah Allah.

Because at the end of it all, that’s what remains.

In today’s episode, we sit down with Sayema - a Muslim psychotherapist - for a deeply-personal story about the unseen costs of having our lives be too visible online. What began as a mission to offer healing and service turned into a slow, quiet unraveling under the weight of envy, burnout, and the spiritual harm of evil-eye. 

Sayema’s story is raw, reflective, and shows her ultimately-redemptive journey of what happens when the healer via psychotherapy becomes the afflicted; and finds the cure not in the algorithm, but in the Quran, and from Al-Shifa, The One Who Heals.

We know that Allah SWT has not sent down any disease, but that he also sent its cure. And that cure is His book, His words, His guidance. But are we utilising it? 

In this episode we are joined by Umm Muhammad, who talks to us about the prophetic tradition of Ruqyah - how to revive it and practice it, and how to protect oneself against the trials that we have discussed in the season so far. 

Allah SWT does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear, and this conversation reminds us to return to Him and fear only Him, because he is As-Shifa, our ultimate protector and source of healing.

In the second part of Aliatou's journey, the forces she once sought to control now dominate her life, leaving her spiritually lost and broken. The darkness consumes her, and she is left with nothing but the weight of her choices. But even in the darkest moments, a flicker of light remains—an undeniable call back to the faith she once knew.

This episode explores Aliatou’s painful struggle to reclaim her soul, to return to Islam, and to seek Allah's mercy. It’s a story of repentance, healing, and the profound transformation that comes with reconnecting to the Divine.

This episode is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the endless mercy of Allah (SWT).

There’s a world just beyond the veil, where shadows linger and whispers echo, where a flicker of doubt or fear can pull us into places we’d never thought we’d go. For Aliatou, the allure of this world wasn’t born of fear, but of curiosity—a desire to reconnect with her ancestral roots. In her search for deeper meaning, seeking to understand the traditions of her ancestors, she taps into something ancient and powerful. But as she ventures into the unknown, the line between the curiosity for her heritage and the dangerous forces she invited into her life begins to blur.

Part 1 of Aliatou’s journey explores her fascination with the unknown and her descent into the world of Santeria. It’s a tale of curiosity, spiritual struggle, and the danger of seeking answers in places where light cannot reach. As she opens herself to the unseen, the forces she encounters begin to change her in ways she never imagined, setting the stage for the darkness that lies ahead.
