In Part 2 of the Istighfar Journey, I dive deeper into the mental health side of remembrance—how istighfar isn’t just something we say, but something that truly shifts us from within. I open up about how it’s helped me personally—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—and the changes I’ve seen in my own life because of it.

We also need to have a real conversation about representation. We need more Muslim mental health professionals—people who look like us, understand our experiences, and share our spiritual foundation. That kind of support matters, and it’s something our community deserves more of.

This episode is a reminder that healing and faith go hand in hand, and that turning back to Allah can be a powerful step toward inner peace.

In this very first episode of my Istighfar series, I open up about how my journey with seeking forgiveness (Istighfar) truly began—and how something so simple ended up changing my life in ways I never expected.

It all started with my brother Muhsin and his wife, who posted a friendly competition between themselves to see who could do the most Istighfar. Watching them inspired something in me. On a whim, I decided to join in… and from that moment, the rest has truly been history.
