Life After Becoming Muslim | I Saw My Old Job on Instagram & It Took Me Somewhere Deep

I was scrolling Instagram and saw my old workplace pop up. Just like that, I was back — missing my students, sitting with memories I hadn't touched in a while. But it didn't just make me nostalgic. It made me think. Because working in America as a Muslim revert is its own kind of test. You're navigating professional spaces that weren't built with you in mind, trying to hold onto your identity, your prayer times, your modesty, your deen — while the world around you keeps moving like none of that matters. I've been through it, and in this episode of Life After Becoming Muslim, I'm finally talking about it honestly. I also get into my hijab — not just how I wear it now, but how I used to wear it and what changed. That shift didn't happen overnight, and it wasn't just about style. And then I want to talk about what actually keeps me grounded through all of it: zikr. Consistent prayer. The constant internal reminder that this dunya is temporary, that you are ultimately walking this path alone, and that your relationship with Allah has to be the thing you protect above everything else. This is for the reverts who've felt isolated at work. For the sisters still figuring out hijab. For anyone who needs a reminder to come back to what's real. 🤍 New episodes of Life After Becoming Muslim every week — subscribe so you don't miss one. #LifeAfterBecomingMuslim #MuslimRevert #IslamInAmerica #HijabJourney #Zikr #MuslimWoman #RevertLife #MiaaInTheMiddle
