If we haven’t met…I’m Mindful Muslimah.

I’ve been married for almost 25 years to my best friend and we have 5 kids ranging from 8 to 25 (not to mention 6 grand babies), a licensed educator and mentor.

I’ve taught and mentored women for 20 years…

….on how to find love the right guy & maintain a great marriage that lasts.

But it didn’t start out that easy…

And years back, I was sitting right where you are right now.

Feeling honestly…defeated and afraid to make the wrong decision…

I had seen the heartache of my cousins and friends whose drama marriages I did not want to end up like.

My parents didn’t have the best marriage, or at least I wanted my marriage to be better.

At times, I was doubting if love was even meant for me…

Would I end up picking the wrong guy and be trapped unhappy for life or divorced within a year?

Would I end up alone, because isn’t someone out there for me, who could love me as I am?

I have to mention my self-esteem also wasn’t the best.

Also here I was starting to give up and was honestly with feeling anxious. I was fed up about the whole thing.

My parents were just leading me down the cultural or societal route and my friends were not truly any help, as they were making mistakes just trying to figure it all out like I was.

One night, I remember praying so hard into my prayer mat one night that it was soaked with tears. I begged Allah SWT to show me what to do and surround me with those who could help me. I was lost.

He led me into a brand new world, where I quickly realized and learned that the answers I was seeking were already in our deen for me to apply to our relationship.
