Fear of missing out is killing Your Relationship with Allah (reminders for the heart that chases dunya, reality check, real contentment, practical tips & more)

Assalamu Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu my dear sisters. In a world that thrives on constant visibility, the "Fear of Missing Out" has become more than just a social anxiety it’s a spiritual distraction that pulls us away from being present with Allah. In this episode, we are discussing how the habit of constantly looking at other people's lives quietly erodes our Rida (contentment) and creates a sense of lack where there should be gratitude. We’ll explore how to reclaim your focus, trust in your own Qadr, and realise that you can never truly "miss out" on what Allah has already written for you. It’s time to trade the anxiety of the scroll for the peace of a heart that is settled in its own journey.

A powerful reminder to keep in mind for this episode is the Hadith of the Prophet (ﷺ): "Look at those who are below you and do not look at those who are above you, for it is more suitable that you do not look down on the blessings of Allah." (Bukhari & Muslim).

Fear of missing out happens when we flip this Sunnah and only look "above" at what others have. This episode is about flipping it back so we can see our own blessings again.
