Our Students ❤️ This Program
Alhamdulillah I have benefitted immensely from Bro Wadud's Mindfulness masterclass. The content was insightful and delivered in a very engaging manner with many opportunities for practice. Also enjoyed making new like minded friends from all over the world. InsyaAllah will be rejoining future runs for more practice. May Allah keep us all steadfast to becoming better versions of ourselves.
The Story of Khadijah and Omar
Khadijah is feeling overwhelmed these days as she is:
- feeling stressed with what seems like a never ending TO-DO list
- unable to focus
- juggling between multiple roles, and
- not feeling like she is enough for anyone in her relationships.
- more responsibility
- nonstop meetings
- late work hours, and
- less time to do things that make him come alive i.e. attending a good Halaqa, reading a good book, playing with friends, and spending some undistracted quality time with the family.
Can you relate to either Khadijah or Omar or maybe both?
How do you ground yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed?

Addressing Khadijah’s overwhelm with the H.E.A.R.T Model
Let’s take this a step further and apply the H.E.A.R.T. Model to Khadijah’s challenge with her overwhelm:
Leverage Emotional Well-Being for Peak Performance & Productivity
Many of our responses are reactionary and not based on conscious thinking and this impacts our productivity, performance, and well-being.
As Muslims, we know that consciousness, awareness, and mindfulness of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (i.e. Taqwa) is at the heart of our faith. Yet, many of us lack the practical skills to practice Taqwa in order to regulate our emotions and redirect negative thinking towards calmness and contentment, especially in our VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world.
The Mindfulness Masterclass will help you develop the practical knowledge and skills to regulate your emotions and feel empowered, present, and have more peace of mind across all areas of your life.

Sign up for the Mindfulness Masterclass!
Whether you join the Mindfulness Masterclass or not, stay ahead of overwhelm by shifting from auto-pilot to awareness and by cultivating presence and inner calm in the practices you already have:
Spiritually: Make a slow and mindful wudhu to wash off your stress and prime yourself to be more present and grounded when you stand for Salah.
Emotionally: Take a few deep breaths with Dhikr when you are on the go, take a few minutes to transition between tasks, practice silence every day to take perspective, forgive, and let go.
Physically: Disconnect from your phone and immerse yourself in nature or just the present moment when taking a walk or doing your daily exercise.
Socially: Leave your phone away from the family musallah, living, or dining area, and connect with the family with all your heart while praying, playing, eating, or reading a book together.
And don’t forget the power of du’a! Incorporate in the du’a of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to seek refuge and shelter in the mercy and awareness of Allah (SWT).
