Today’s Coffee Chat was a gentle but powerful re-orientation as we look ahead to the month of Ramadan... not as a season of exhaustion, but as a season of presence, expansion, and beauty. We reflected on how Ramadan is not meant to be lived from the kitchen…but from the heart. Some of the practical and spiritual anchors we covered: • Designing Ramadan so women are not overextended in food preparation • Setting alarms 10 minutes before each salat to shut off the stove, reset, and prepare to stand fully present before Allah ﷻ • Feeding others with intention .. sponsoring iftars, feeding the hungry, giving quietly and generously • Ensuring that 15 minutes before Maghrib, everyone is seated, calm, and focused on dua - the dua of a fasting person- at one of the most auspicious moments of the day We also spoke about using Ramadan as a release point: • Letting go of beliefs that no longer serve you • Releasing outdated inner narratives • Choosing one new belief to carry you from this Ramadan to the next Not 100 changes One aligned belief - lived for 11 months. Then we reflected on the Name of Allah ﷻ: Al-Basit - The Expander. The One who: • widens hearts • expands provision • stretches mercy • amplifies generosity • opens space where there once felt tight Connected to: • Al-Karim - expanding generosity • Al-Wadud - expanding love • Ar-Raḥman - expanding mercy We spoke about integrating Al-Basit into daily dhikr- not to rush expansion, but to receive it with steadiness. Ramadan is not about constriction. It is about holy expansion. May Allah ﷻ expand your heart, your time, your generosity, and your nearness to Him - and may this Ramadan be majestic, spacious, and deeply present.

Most women think letting go is a moment. A cry. A realization. A dua. But Allah does not train leaders through moments. He trains them through repetition. Allah says He does not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves. So when the same attachment returns, the same fear, the same control, the same survival reflex, that is not a sign you’re behind. That is Allah saying: “Release it again.” Not because He forgot. But because your nafs hasn’t learned yet. Here is where most women misunderstand the work: Letting go is not emotional. It is behavioral. It looks like: • choosing regulation when panic is familiar • choosing restraint when relief is tempting • choosing consistency when motivation disappears It’s not dramatic. It’s repetitive. And that’s exactly why it works. Because repetition doesn’t feel spiritual. It feels boring. It feels inconvenient. It feels like responsibility. And most people quit right there. But here is the truth: Every time you let go again, your capacity increases. Every time you do not return to survival, your inner container widens. Every time you choose differently, quietly, without applause, you move closer. Closer to peace. Closer to stability. Closer to barakah. Not because life gets easy, but because you become steady. This is the part shame tries to hijack: “Why am I still dealing with this?” “Shouldn’t I be past this by now?” No. Growth is not linear. Leadership is not clean. And Allah does not rush refinement. Allah does not reward intensity. He rewards consistency. If you keep “letting go” emotionally but returning to the same behaviours, you have not let go. You have only paused. True letting go is when your actions submit even when your feelings protest. That is where Allah places barakah. So if today feels like, “I have to let go again”.. Good. That means Allah is still working with you. That means you are still being trusted with refinement. That means you are closer than you were yesterday.

Most Muslim women aren’t afraid of failure.They’re afraid of who they will become when they succeed. So they call silence “sabr.”They call shrinking “humility.”They call fear “tawakkul.” But Allah tells us clearly: “Shayṭan threatens you with poverty…” Qur’an 2:268 We forget: Leadership is worship. Hard conversations are worship. Building rizq with dignity is worship. Remote sales is the skill that allows Muslim women to: ✓ Work from home ✓ Build halal income ✓ Support their families ✓ Fund sadaqah and community progress ✓ Reclaim sovereignty, not dependency Our ummah does not rise when its women stay small. The next era of leadership? Muslim women stepping into influence with iman, intelligence, and income.

There are moments when Allah answers quietly .. not with a thing, but with a sign. If you found this community, it’s not random. It’s an answer in progress.
