This is my first blog!

Assalaamu alaikum and welcome to my website!

The Radiant Hijab is the actualisation of an idea that has been simmering in my mind for a long time. I have always been passionate about building strong, positive relationships with my sisters in Islam – both in real and virtual settings. I invite you to join me as I embark on a new journey to become a better version of myself: more confident about my religious identity, more healthy – in mind, body and soul, more observant and reflective of the beautiful signs in nature all around us, more receptive, humble and grateful for every small blessing and, by understanding our purpose in life, more eager and ready to build a strong relationship with The Creator.

Insha’Allah, I will present a holistic approach to becoming healthier and happier. I am not a health guru or a religious scholar or even an expert in developing inter and intra-personal skills. But, the aim of this blog is to help each other: sharing healthy recipes or exercise tips, reminding each other of precious gems and words of wisdom from the Quran and the Sunnah of Muhammad (peace be upon him), reviewing articles, books and strategies to build self esteem, to share local knowledge to build a directory of health professionals and services, and, to embrace our beautiful sisterhood. This is your webpage and I aim to make it interactive, informative and inspiring.

Fasten your seat belts and let’s go…
