There are days when life grips your chest and you can’t breathe. Days when everything is falling apart, and you’re too tired to explain why. But in those moments when you’re too broken to even pray properly, your heart whispers just one word: Allah.

This episode is for the ones who are grieving, exhausted, overwhelmed. For the ones who cry silently and find peace in sujood. For the ones who only feel held when they call out “Ya Shāfi”—The Healer.

Note:

Now, Ash-Shāfi is not among the traditionally listed 99 Names of Allah, but the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used this name in a powerful du’a, saying:

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النَّاسِ، أَذْهِبِ الْبَأْسَ، اشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي، لَا شِفَاءَ إِلَّا شِفَاؤُكَ، شِفَاءً لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا

“O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the harm and heal [him], for You are the Healer. There is no healing except Your healing, a healing that leaves behind no illness.”

(Bukhari & Muslim)

So if you’ve never known who Ash-Shāfi is, now you do🤍

Who am I, really?” Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt like a stranger to yourself? Is your identity just your name, your face, or something much deeper? In this episode of Insights with Atuu, we explore self-identity from an Islamic perspective. What defines us in the grand scheme of existence? What does Allah say about who we are?

Join me as we uncover the reality of the soul, the purpose of our journey, and the true meaning of our existence. Let’s shift our focus from how the world sees us to how Allah sees us.

Have you ever looked at the sky, the ocean, or the stars and felt a deep sense of awe? Our hearts naturally long for something greater,for the One who created it all. But can we really see Allah? Did Prophet Muhammad ﷺ see Him on the Night of Mi’raj? And the biggest question of all, will we, you and I, get to see Him one day?

In this episode, we explore the human longing for Allah, and the ultimate reward awaiting the believers in Jannah, the moment when the veil will be lifted, and we will gaze upon our Creator.

May Allah make us among those who are blessed with His sight in Jannah. Ameen.
