Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

مَنْ خَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ كَانَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ

Whoever goes out seeking knowledge is in the way of Allah until he returns.

وعنها قالت‏:‏ قلت‏:‏ يا رسول الله أرأيت إن علمت أي ليلة القدر ما أقول فيها‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏قولي‏:‏ اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فاعفُ عني‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن صحيح‏)‏‏)‏

'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: I asked: "O Messenger of Allah! If I realize Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree), what should I supplicate in it?" He (ﷺ) replied, "You should supplicate: Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun, tuhibbul-'afwa, fa'fu 'anni (O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me)." [At-Tirmidhi].

15 Days Till Ramadan InshaAllah!

ذَهَـبَ الظَّمَـأُ، وَابْتَلَّـتِ العُـروق، وَثَبَـتَ الأجْـرُ إِنْ شـاءَ الله

Dhahabaẓ-ẓama',
wabtallati ‘l-`urūq,
wa thabata ‘l-'ajru in shā Allāh.

The thirst is gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills.

Meet Our Speaker: Ayan Ali, Community Mental Health Nurse 🩺

✨ Being ME is thrilled to introduce the speaker for our next Coffee Therapy in Vancouver! ✨

Ayan Ali is a Registered Psychiatric Nurse (BScPN) with eight years of experience working in community mental health. She currently works at the Surrey Mental Health and Substance Use Urgent Care Response Centre.

In her role, Ayan supports individuals experiencing acute mental health and substance use crises through intake screening, comprehensive mental health assessments, and collaborative care planning. Her work includes identifying concerns such as *depression, anxiety, psychosis, trauma, substance use, and other complex mental health challenges, while helping individuals access timely and appropriate care.

Ayan works closely with *clients, families, physicians, and community partners* to connect individuals to psychiatric services, counselling, hospital care when required, and ongoing community supports. Her approach is grounded in *compassion, dignity, and meeting people where they are* during moments of vulnerability.

She is deeply passionate about reducing stigma around mental health within the Muslim community, while emphasizing the vital and complementary role of our deen and Islamic teachings in supporting mental wellbeing. She also holds a strong interest in learning and teaching how mental health was understood and cared for throughout Islamic history.

By bridging professional mental health practice with faith-based understanding, Ayan brings a holistic, culturally grounded perspective to mental wellness that aligns closely with Being ME’s mission.

Faithful Hearts, Human Minds: Mental Health in Islam ☕🌙

Join us for Being ME’s next Coffee Therapy, a warm and intimate space for sisters to come together and have honest, meaningful conversations around mental health through an Islamic lens.

Mental health and emotional wellbeing are part of our deen. Caring for the heart and mind is an essential aspect of our faith, and Islam encourages reflection, balance, and seeking understanding when navigating life’s pressures.

✨ Featuring:
Ayan Ali, RPN, BScPN
Community Mental Health Nurse

Ayan works in community mental health, supporting individuals through intake assessments, care planning, hospital follow-up, and connection to psychiatric and community resources. Her work includes supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, psychosis, substance use, and other mental health challenges.

💬 In this Coffee Therapy discussion, we’ll explore:

* Mental health and illness through an Islamic lens
* Unique mental health challenges of our time, including social media, burnout, and constant pressure
* Managing mood and anxiety using both Islamic principles and practical tools
* Understanding the difference between normal stress and when something needs attention
* Knowing when to seek help—and why seeking support is part of our deen

Coffee Therapy is where we discuss hot-button, red-table issues, trends, and current affairs in a therapeutic fashion.

The coffee just makes us think harder—though this time, it might be chai. 😉

🗓 Sunday, February 1
⏰ 1:00–3:00 PM
