About this episode
You wake up already tired. The mind’s racing before your feet even touch the ground. You pray, but it feels like a routine. You open the Qur’an, but the words blur. You smile, you function… but inside, you're drained. Some days, you’re not even sad. Just numb. On edge. Like you’re bracing for something, but you don’t know what. You try everything, you listen to reminders… but your heart still feels far. Unmoved. Heavy. And in the quiet moments, that lingering thought creeps in: “Why do I still feel like this… even when I’m trying?” In this powerful reminder, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan gets straight to what most of us avoid talking about. He brings to light the root of that restlessness, the reason behind the inner noise, the tightness, the emptiness, even while doing all the “right” things. If you’ve been feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or just off, and you've been searching for peace but can’t seem to feel it, this is for you. Not vague advice. Not surface-level comfort. But something real. Something your heart might’ve been needing all along.
