Healthy Communication // Season 3 Episode 6 | Honest Tea Talk

When communication breaks down, we often hear things like "you're not listening." And when communication is lost, we might feel "they don't understand."
In today's episode, we uncover the causes of communication breakdowns while reflecting on ways in which we can become proficient in healthier communication, both verbal and non-verbal. We also discuss how to deal with conversations when they're heading south, how to clear up the confusion and curiosity through clarifying questions. Most importantly, we draw examples of effective, meaningful communication from the best of examples, our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

About Honest Tea Talk
with Aliyah, LaYinka & Sumayah
Inspired by Jada Pinkett-Smith's 'Red Table Talk', 3 Muslim women have set up a platform to speak openly and honestly, giving viewers an unedited insight into the minds and life of Muslim women. Honest Tea Talk brings deep and often unspoken topics to the table to lay down our masks and start much-needed discussions about matters related to Muslim women and the ummah at large.

"The more you're communicating with Allah, the better your communication with His creation" Ma sha Allah! That's my take-home quote. I totally agree with this statement. It works for me!!

[@yaseensinsights]

Here are few points: 1. Communication is important but how you communicate is even more important. your tone, body language, facial expression, all convey meaning. 2. Listening is as part of communication as talking. So listen to understand and not react! Barak"Allahu feekum

[@yaseensinsights]

I'm glad you brought that up LaYinka, TEXTING is not an effective way to communicate . It doesn't convey tone and can be easily misinterpreted by the reader.

[@Sarafara7]

I don’t know what I would do if you guys stop this series. So much needed to listen to Muslims discuss things like this. I don’t have a community of Muslims around me, so I look to you and Alhamdulillah for what do you do for us :)

Let's not forget that women wear rings on certain fingers and men on others

[@xee_bootiey]

Regarding this issue of seeking clarification, sometimes when I feel offended by what someone said I would just be like “I feel insulted by your words” or I almost feel attacked and the person then usually quickly clarifies and then I completely move on. It really works for me.

Can you do an episode on how to form friendships at an older age, 25 and up?

[@SativaSeanLasVegas]

You guys should teach communication as it is discussed in the Qu'ran, not the science of communication via the Dunya (I have a communications degree, scholarship student, Greenspun Media Las Vegas),

I am a Christian sister and I love the content 🥰 I found this channel a while ago and I can't stop watching these videos. Super important topics and you all three seem so warm-hearted and beautiful people inside and outside. These videos has made me think a lot and I have already made important changes and decisions in my life. This beautiful community feels like a safe space for me too 🥰

[@izhar2286]

Healthy communication comes when we as a muslims our spiritual connection with Allah Azzawajjal is strong n i absolutely agree with sister aliya about our tongues gets automatically careful when we remember Allah Azzawajjal more..when we keep our tongue moist with the dhikr of Allah Azzawajjal....i personally expereinced this phase during my most beautiful n deepest n strongest imaan n ibadah days...i used to be very careful and used to think twice or thrice when talking to people...i was more cautious about my tone....

[@agbajelatifat9862]

My weekly therapy session 🤍🤍

[@Jorjina.hayatt]

All of you have awesome, beautiful, smashing, impactful and feminine personalities.

[@mariyaaminuahmad842]

Constant communication with Allah gives us this peace and calm that subsequently manifests in the way we communicate with His creation... The humility and decorum we use in communicating with Him becomes a part and parcel of our lives ❤️

[@xee_bootiey]

Repetition! We discussed this at a workshop I attended under effective communication. You ladies are the best!
