    with Aliyah, LaYinka & Sumayah
    Inspired by Jada Pinkett-Smith's 'Red Table Talk', 3 Muslim women have set up a platform to speak openly and honestly, giving viewers an unedited insight into the minds and life of Muslim women. Honest Tea Talk brings deep and often unspoken topics to the table to lay down our masks and start much-needed discussions about matters related to Muslim women and the ummah at large.

    Dear sisters, as hard as we think our journeys and tests are, let us remember that Allah will never test us more than what we can bear. Let this be our strength so that we do not break beyond repair and to avoid mistakes that will taunt us for a lifetime. He is always enough, it's okay to be weak as long as we go back to him for help.

    My journey to Allah was a "Beautiful Transformation of marriage (no children) for 3 yrs., was the most sufficient talks of Allah and His Last Messenger p.b.u.h., surrounded with tranquility and peace with righteous Muslimah's and beautiful innocent children...I was of liberty from the masjid to promote and sale recorded ( Khutbah's).. CD'S.. And sales of various Hadith Books to Masjid Muslimah's. MashaAllah a very beautiful experience. I very much enjoyed and still am enjoying my journey to Allah God...Jazakallahu Khayran for your part in my journey sisters in your awesome "Honest Tea Talk".. It gives me a new muslimah dialogue of how it is in Islam.. "Barakallahu feeki to all three of you for being a voice for a new muslimah"... Jazakallahu khayr.

    Subhaanallah sisters i have to stop at 6:13 to write this message i can understand what you are talking about I felt that connection when i can feel him so close to me i cant describe that moment in words it was the most beautiful feeling when you are calling your Rabb for help when you are helpless and only thing you have is Allah in he comes down to hear you out. It was magical moment subhaanallah. I agree the conversation with Allah is diffraction when we in crisis. Alhumdulillah for everything good and bad yaa Rabb for bad times we are closer to you and good times because we know its from Allah to ease our pain. May Allah bless you all my dear sisters.

    I really needed to hear this. I’m being tested with something that I didn’t think would ever happen to me, and I feel like at times I’m failing the test. But after hearing this, I realise it’s Allah’s way of bringing me closer. I just have to get through it In Shaa Allah. Shukran for sharing sisters, hard topic to talk about as no one wants to disclose their sins or weaknesses, nor should they.

    Doing Du’aa’ to ALLAH is very important. There are Ad’iyah in the Sunnah, in which Rasul
    صلى الله عليه وسلم
    asked ALLAH to make it easy for him to do Zikr, to do ‘ibadah of ALLAH, to do Shukr to ALLAH. There is also a Du’aa’ in which we ask ALLAH to enable us to act upon the beneficial knowledge ALLĀH has given us.
    Don’t ever think you can do anything good on your own. We need the help of ALLAH.

    Assalamu alaykum, this episode resonated me and the importance of self reflection first and foremost (holding ourselves to account).
    'O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do?' (61:2)
    May Allah SWT bestow us with patience with his decree and make us upon the sabirun (patient ones). Verily Allah SWT is with the sabirun.

    I can’t wait for the next episode (abuse in the community) I was waiting for you guys to speak about that. In fact I was telling a sister I’m almost certain that’ll be a topic you’ll discuss. It’s very much needed. Unfortunately many sisters in our community are suffering from this and nothing is being done about it. One of the most common forms of abuse we suffer from is spiritual abuse. May Allah guide us and increase us in knowledge and wisdom.
    Jazakumullahu khairan for the good work😘

      As someone who is such/gone through that phase, I would elaborate this as a person who had done sth wrong and then later they regret it and try to fix it.
      It's like Adam and Iblis, both were sinners. Adam repented but not Iblis who was adamant.
      I also heard somewhere that heaven and hell are both filled with sinners, but sinners of hell were arrogant contrary to the sinners of heaven who were sincere and repented .

    I love the series but just a little constructive criticism.. relatable as the series is, I feel it would be even more so if it was more “loose women” style, but still keeping within the bounds of Islamic manners and modesty. It just feels a little scripted at the minute, not as natural as it could be.. just my opinion. Allah reward you all, and guide us all. 💖

    • @zahidanasreenkhan8818
      @zahidanasreenkhan8818 Před 4 lety +4

      To be honest, in reality we all abit scripted. When something comes out of our mouth, most likely we have rehearsed it in our heads several times specially our experiences.
      These sisters cannot devolve all their sins because it would influence the youth and if Allah swt decided to cover their sins why should they reveal it...just for a show. If you like loose women, there is a show called loose women available.
