First day of school mornings don’t have to be chaotic. A few minutes with the Qur’an, a bit of organisation, and giving the kids responsibility can turn stress into calm—and even set the tone for the whole year.

There’s a quiet pandemic in school corridors.
It sounds like laughter that wasn’t meant for you.
And it teaches: blend in, or be left behind.

But strength isn’t in the crowd.
It’s in the girl who still smiles, still stands —
because her anchor isn’t in them,
but in Allah.

“This room is beautiful — polished wood, soft light, calm. But behind the curtain, someone I love is in surgery. And I am, once again, back in a hospital — heart full, breath held.”

A personal story of moving from burnout to purpose. How stepping back from work, reconnecting with the Qur’an, and asking a few honest questions led me to rediscover what matters.
