Episode 4 │ Getting out of the Compariso...

Assia • The Mizaan
About this episode

Let's be honest: as much as social media aims to connect people to each other and inspire, it can also be a very toxic space that makes us feel like we're behind and negatively impacts not only our mental health but also our imaan.


In this episode, I am joined by the beautiful Ghena from Deen and Chai, a fellow Islamic Lifestyle content creator who really inspires me and has so much wisdom to share Allahuma barek. We first talk about our journeys on social media, how we personally deal with comparison and finally share with you a few pieces of advice on how to get out of the unhealthy comparison trap, get the best out of social media and build a strong community of sisters.


This episode is sponsored by The Ribaat Academic Institute, an online program that provides traditional Islamic knowledge for women, by women. All classes are held live online by female scholars and recordings are posted after class.

You can choose from over 50 courses ranging from Sira, to Tajwid, to Fiqh and Hadith, classes like The 99 names of Allah, Reflections from the Quran but also Arabic, and Quran Memorization course to help you build a deeper relationship with the Quran.

The great news is, courses are affordable and country discounts and scholarships are available!
