There are days when life grips your chest and you can’t breathe. Days when everything is falling apart, and you’re too tired to explain why. But in those moments when you’re too broken to even pray properly, your heart whispers just one word: Allah.

This episode is for the ones who are grieving, exhausted, overwhelmed. For the ones who cry silently and find peace in sujood. For the ones who only feel held when they call out “Ya Shāfi”—The Healer.

Note:

Now, Ash-Shāfi is not among the traditionally listed 99 Names of Allah, but the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used this name in a powerful du’a, saying:

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النَّاسِ، أَذْهِبِ الْبَأْسَ، اشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي، لَا شِفَاءَ إِلَّا شِفَاؤُكَ، شِفَاءً لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا

“O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the harm and heal [him], for You are the Healer. There is no healing except Your healing, a healing that leaves behind no illness.”

(Bukhari & Muslim)

So if you’ve never known who Ash-Shāfi is, now you do🤍
