šļø Mental Health Awareness
"Iām here to share my experience on Domestic Psychological Abuse, and how I managed to fight the stigma of mental illnesses.
If you just listen, you will understand how difficult it is for some people to really live their lives. So, letās just respect each other. We are all humans created by God to perfection, the most perfect creations. Everything happens for a reason, and everything makes you lose or gain something. If you gain something, good for you. If you lose something, you still gain experience, learning and motivation to keep going and achieve your goals. So life never makes you lose anything. Cheers to L.I.F.E. You are loved. Big hug."

What my amazing fellow hearts are saying
Ramadhan Breakthrough: Finding Light in the Darkness of Postpartum Depression
During Ramadhan 2025,
I faced postpartum depression. I felt distant from my baby, my husband, and from Allah.
One day, a sister gave me a journal from Noora Lee with the words:
'Your struggle is your ibadah.'
Those words truly helped me.
I practised mindfulness
during 3 AM feedings,
felt grateful for my baby's smile, and found comfort in listening to the Quran.
By Eid, I began to find my way forward.
To every mother who is struggling, know that your pain is real and healing is possible.

The Grief: Healing After Loss
When my mother passed away, grief consumed me. I couldnāt pray without crying, couldnāt read the Quran without feeling the weight of her absence. A friend gifted me this journal, and at first, I just stared at the blank pages. But slowly, I started writing, one sentence, then one paragraph, then pages of memories, pain, and prayers. The Emotional Healing Exercises helped me process my grief through an Islamic lens, reminding me that sadness is human, but hope is divine. The gratitude prompts seemed impossible at first, but they taught me to honour my motherās memory by finding light even in darkness. This journal didnāt erase my pain, but it gave me a sacred space to heal.

Ramadhan Transformation: From Overwhelm to Peace
Last Ramadhan, I dreaded the long fasting days because my anxiety would spike when I couldnāt eat or drink to cope with stress. I felt guilty. How could I struggle during the holiest month? This journal changed everything. The Ramadhan-specific reflection prompts helped me reframe fasting as a spiritual reset rather than another source of stress. Each day, Iād write my intentions for suhoor and, after iftar, reflect on moments of gratitude. The duas for comfort became my anchor during difficult afternoon hours. By the end of Ramadhan, I wasnāt just surviving the month, I was experiencing the spiritual peace Iād always heard about but never felt. The āLetter to Selfā I wrote on Laylatul Qadr still brings tears to my eyes. If youāre struggling, please know: youāre not alone, and this journal can be the companion you need.

Emotional Healing Journey
Inspired by a friendās advice, Adam started writing letters to himself within the journal. He found that pouring his heart out on the pages offered him freedom from judgment and a clearer understanding of his emotions. With every entry, I could see my progress, no matter how small. The prompts encouraged me to reflect, to be honest with myself, and most importantly, to be kind to myself. Now, looking back, I realise how much Iāve grown.
My Mental Health Journal
didnāt just capture my journey;
it helped me heal.
