Allah said in the Quran "If you are grateful, I would certainly give you more.” (14:7)


We often fail at noticing the simplest blessings in our life, but for some reason, it required personal development gurus for people to realize the transformative power of gratitude.


In this episode, we're diving into this topic with Roedah Mansour who wrote a book completely dedicated to it: "Blessings in the Little Things: In Pursuit of Heartwork to a More Meaningful and Intentional Life."


How can gratitude deepen your relationship to Allah and invite you to renew your intention? How can we be grateful for the simplest things but also, the difficult ones? How does gratitude impact your relationships?


A beautiful conversation that we hope is insightful and beneficial insha'Allah!
