The Hippiearab Podcast --- S1 E16
In the age of distraction, the single-handedly most difficult task for an individual is finding themselves. In doing so, they open their lives to the opportunity of what it was always meant for. But why is finding oneself so difficult? I explore that the different facets of life, especially within this generation, preventing us from deep self-exploration and understanding.

The best thing I did was to find myself especially after I got my heartbroken from a toxic ex girlfriend. I been on this self love journey for 4 years and finding myself was the best thing I ever did. It wasn’t easy at first and it’s not gonna be easy when you first start. But give it time and effort and you realize it was worth the journey and the process was worth it

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." Woah your last point is SO true. You realize who you are, your abilities, and your value through helping others, because in that moment, YOU are their help. You. Thats you who helped them, yk? Im absolutely obsessed and fascinated with this question and have had many many breakdowns because i didnt get the "quick" answer i thought i needed. Ive learned now its a process, but yes i absolutely loved this episode, SubhanAllah its a miracle you made this. Keep going

Salam sister Farah I'm around the same age as you and wallahi I share the exact same personal experiences you mentioned: feeling icky with being validated on social media, having found soul-matching friends and being picky with otherwise, and gradually adjusting my compass (with Allah as my North direction). I personally believe the biggest thing that's helping me find myself is gaining knowledge about Islam and Allah (yes I'm also biased like Farah, sue us). Through my life experiences, I've discovered that the values I deeply care about are sincerity, earnestness and humility. I've always ways been attracted to people like that, too. Now I'm not a student of knowledge by any means, but the Quran and Sunnah teachings just instantly click with me and nurture those values. It also makes me more confident with acting them out and even advocating for them Alhamdulillah. In my experience, beneficial knowledge truly is a light that you carry and a mercy that you tap into, and I wish everyone can get to experience it as well. It not only lights up the world in front of us so we see it's true meaning, but also shines lights on our inner selves to understand about them and know how to care for them. My vision is for us to be able to bring our burdens to the Islamic teachings, and have them eased by what we find in those teachings. There's no doubt in my heart that Allah will satisfy all our needs (even if not like how we imagined). After all, Allah is the Most Merciful and Ever-Near to us. May Allah give us beneficial knowledge that eases our burdens in the dunya, gives us certainty in Him, and draws us closer to Him, ameen

Farah I really suggest that you read "Reclaim your Heart" by Yasmin Mogahed. Its an amazing book that tackles these topics in a more religious perspective, as the book talks in detail about how filling your heart with imperfect concepts will ruin your sense of self but filling your heart and purpose with Allah SWT leads you into happiness and finding yourself because the concept of god is perfect and fulfilling in itself

Your videos are always so interesting to me, when I first clicked on your podcast I had it as a background for my crocheting but now I just sit and actively listen to it. I am not a Muslim, in fact I live in one of the most atheists countries, so I never really thought about religion deeper then on surface level, and although I don’t think I will ever believe in higher power I love hearing you talking about it. It’s such a culturally enriching thing for me to see how other people view life through these lenses. Aside from learning more about your religion and your experiences with it, I really love your thoughts on heavy topics. Every now and then I find myself disagreeing with your opinions, but I still wanna hear why you think that to see where you’re coming from. I love this podcast and hope you’ll keep posting!

When u said " we're here for each other " it pop up with an idea . That what u said it's truee!!! Because logically when we come to this world , first we have a little family ( parents & siblings ) , then the big one ( aunt , uncle , cousins ..etc ) then we grow and we make friends at school , uni , work , supermarket , vacation ..etc then we meet a person who become our husband/wife , and have children ... and those children will live the same cycle that will continue over and over again with all generation. So we didn't come here to do things alone ! We're all here for each other. It makes sense honestly.

Im not worried about the opinions of thise who disagree with my choices. I dont worry about what so called influencers chose. My younger friends, take time away from activities, lifestyles, and people who don't align with you moraly. It brings inner peace. For me, the entire world would not notice my passing. And that is just fine. My community would notice that my vegetable stand is gone. That would last a season. It would rock my family emotionally but it would also eventually be okay because they have the tools they need to thrive.
