Bismillah.
A few days ago, I received an email that made my heart whisper Alhamdulillah louder than ever…
“Congratulations on successfully completing your certification requirements. You are now officially a certified Life Coach by Adwam School of Life Coaching, Training, and Certification.”
After months of study, soul work, and self-reflection, I had reached a milestone. But instead of resting in celebration, I felt a fire awaken in me a new responsibility to use this platform, this voice, this journey for something greater.
This blog post is not about me. It’s about us the silent power of Muslim women who carry oceans of wisdom but hesitate to speak. It’s a call to every Muslimah who scrolls, who learns, who dreams and wonders if her voice matters in a noisy world.

A World of Noise, and Yet… Silence
We live in a world where everyone is speaking influencers, critics, philosophers, even AI. The internet runs 24/7, filling timelines with opinions, trends, aesthetics, and narratives.
But here’s the painful question:
Where are the voices of Muslimah who live their faith and walk their truth?
I scroll and I see:
Distorted versions of Islamic femininity
Shallow definitions of empowerment
Silence from sisters who fear being “too much” or “not enough”
We are present but invisible. Engaged but hesitant. We whisper truths in private, but hesitate to speak publicly.
The Inner Struggle: Fear, Doubt & the Digital Dunya
Before I stepped into coaching, I battled this too.
- “Who am I to speak?”
- “What if I’m judged?”
- “What if I’m not ready?”
I convinced myself that I needed to be perfect to be visible.
Then I reframed my fear:
This hesitation is a form of jihad a struggle of the soul.
The Turning Point: Choosing to Grow
I enrolled in Adwam School not just to become a coach, but to become a servant. A servant of purpose. A vessel for transformation. A voice for truth.
Every module pushed me deeper:
- Understanding Islamic psychology
- Tuning into emotional intelligence rooted in Ihsan
- Balancing productivity with taqwa
- Healing myself while learning to hold space for others
This journey wasn’t easy I cried, I wrestled with self-doubt, I even paused my progress at times. But I kept returning. One tafser lesson at a time. One verse. One reflection.
Why Muslimah Voices Are Needed — Urgently
Our daughters are growing up online.
Our sisters are searching for guidance.
Our youth are drowning in content that disconnects them from fitrah.
If we don’t speak, someone else will and they might not speak the truth.
Your voice even if it shakes is needed.
Your journey even if imperfect is valuable.
Your faith even if growing is sacred.
This is not about “influencing.”
This is about impacting.
This is about ikhlaas (sincerity), not followers.
This Is Da’wah. This Is Jihad.
Putting yourself out there, sharing lessons from your Qur’an memorization, or a moment of spiritual awakening — that’s da’wah.
- Sharing how you manage motherhood with mindfulness: that’s da’wah.
- Talking about your struggle with modesty: that’s da’wah.
- Being seen as a Muslim woman who leads with heart and deen: that’s da’wah.
This is jihad of the 21st century — the fight to be present, to speak truth, and to heal a fragmented Ummah through your gifts.

From Me to You: A Call to Sisterhood
Dear sister,
Don’t wait for a title, a degree, or a following.
Start with what Allah gave you: your insight, your heart, your journey.
Use your phone as a tool, not a trap.
Use your voice as light, not noise.
Use your platform even if it’s just your blog or WhatsApp group as a place of purpose.
May Allah make us among those who speak when truth must be spoken.
May He protect us from pride, polish our intentions, and bless our impact.
May He make our voices a means of healing, not harm.
May He make this digital world a new frontier for light, not darkness.
With Love always
Wahida
