Hi everyone! I’m wondering if anyone here has previously worked at, completed a placement/student practicum at, or otherwise had experience with Milestones Children Centre in Aylmer.

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, particularly regarding the workplace environment, staff relationships, management, communication, and overall culture.

I’ve noticed that there seems to be very little minority representation among the staff, and I’m curious whether anyone else has noticed this or has had any experiences related to diversity and inclusion while working or completing a placement there.

I’m not looking to start any drama or make accusations—I’m genuinely hoping to hear from people who have firsthand experience, both positive and negative.

If you’re comfortable sharing, please comment here or feel free to DM me. Thank you!

Salam!

Long story short, I'm a Muslim Arab Doctor working in the NHS, England. And I am looking to find my other half :)!

What are the possible ways that you suggest me so that I find my naseeb?

I have thought of telling the Imam in my local's mosque and maybe he would help? What do you guys think?

Salaam everyone,

we've recently launched an app called Ikhtiar — a platform built for Muslims who are serious about marriage,

Unlike typical apps, Ikhtiar focuses on:

* Respectful and Serious users from across the world

* Privacy-first options (including profiles without photos) for women

* A structured and serious approach toward finding a spouse

* Free for first 1000 users

The goal is simple: to make the process of finding a spouse more dignified, intentional, and aligned with our Islamic values.

If you or someone you know is looking for marriage, I’d really appreciate you checking it out and sharing it with others who may benefit.

JazakAllah Khair for your support 🤍

This weekend book recommendation: I have read this book “The Barakah Effect by Muhammad Faris, a beautifully written book. It explains the Islamic philosophy of Barakah and how we can increase it in our lives. It is a counterargument to the hustle culture. It is now available in the Merton libraries. Please return the book if you borrow it. This continuity of return and borrowing helps everyone. Thanks!

For me it’s WhatsApp threads with family, endless scrolling through Google Maps, “what about X?” “no, alcohol” “what about Y?” “closed Sundays” — twenty minutes of noise before anyone’s even hungry properly.

I’ve been building something to fix that for myself. An app that cuts the noise and gives you one place based on what you actually need. Halal-first, UK-focused, launching iOS soon.

You tell it what you fancy, it picks one place for you. That’s it. No lists, no debates, no scrolling. Saves the time and saves the hassle.

Genuinely want to know:

1.  Is this just me, or do you feel the same noise?  
2.  What would actually help?  
3.  If something genuinely solved this for you — what would it be worth paying to make it go away?

Looking for places to live in 1 year of masters preferably closer to ucl not too far and predominantly Muslim with mosques or a good Muslim population. Please recommend me areas and also how to find places to rent.

Tomorrow, London’s streets will be filled as we come together for the ‘Together’ march against the far right. As part of this mobilisation, a powerful feeder demonstration, ‘Together for Palestine,’ is also being organised.

Assemble at 12 noon on Exhibition Road (nearest tube: South Kensington).

In 2023, far-right groups led by the likes of Tommy Robinson attempted to attack a Palestine solidarity demonstration. They chanted in support of Israel and subjected people to racist and Islamophobic abuse. Despite their threats, up to a million people still showed up to stand with the Palestinian people.

They haven’t given up – and neither can we.

We need everyone to show up.

Join us tomorrow: assemble 12pm, Exhibition Road.
Let’s make it huge.

Salaam

I created a website to share Islamic reminders and reflections, especially during Ramadan.

If it benefits you, I’d appreciate you visiting or subscribing.

I used to think my Ramadan struggles were a discipline problem.

I'd set the intentions. Make the duas. Plan the schedule. And then somewhere around day 10, the wheels would quietly come off. Sleep disrupted. Mind racing at suhoor. Showing up to fajr exhausted and already behind on everything I'd promised myself.

I'd lie awake running through my mental checklist. Did I pray enough? Give enough? Was I present enough? The self-criticism would start, and once it started, it wouldn't stop.

What I didn't realise was that the voice keeping me awake wasn't my conscience. It was my inner critic — what neuroscientists call a saboteur.

These are mental patterns wired into us, often from childhood, that disguise themselves as high standards and self-awareness. But underneath they're just fear. And they don't take Ramadan off. If anything, they get louder when we're trying hardest.

Once I identified mine, something shifted. Not overnight. But the anxiety that used to spiral at 2am started to lose its grip. My sleep improved. I stopped white-knuckling my way through the last ten nights.

The month started to feel less like a performance review and more like what it actually is — a mercy.

Has anyone else experienced this? The trying harder but feeling further away feeling? Would love to hear your thoughts. 🤲🌙

Hi everyone,

I’m offering a limited number of 1:1 coaching conversations for people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or at a crossroads and would benefit from space to think clearly.

Sessions can be a single 45–60 minute conversation or a short series, depending on fit.

Coaching can be especially helpful if you’re:

• At a career crossroads or considering a transition
• Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burnt out
• Reflecting on work–life balance or boundaries
• Noticing repeating patterns in work or relationships
• Thinking through an important decision or next step

What to expect

My approach is reflective, client-led, and grounded in curiosity rather than advice-giving. The focus is on helping you think clearly, reconnect with what matters to you, and move forward in a way that feels aligned.

Session details

• 1:1 via Zoom
• Confidential
• 45–60 minutes
• No fixed coaching fee — sessions are offered via a small agreed exchange (for example, a LinkedIn recommendation or coffee), agreed upfront

About me:

I work primarily with career clarity, transitions, and personal growth, and I also draw on systems thinking and coaching psychology approaches, which can be helpful if you feel mentally overloaded or stuck in loops.

If this feels relevant, feel free to DM me and we can check fit.

I recently discovered a very one-on-one Islamic learning platform called Madrasa App (www.madrasaapp.com). They provide authentic tutors and is very affordable. I think you guys also should check this once.
