In this episode, I speak with Zahra Aljabri, a spiritual coach from California and the oldest daughter of immigrants from Kenya, who shares her journey in understanding and connecting with spirituality. Zahra initially viewed her religion as a set of rules based on the environment in which she grew up.
Zahra later discovered what she calls secular spirituality, like the law of attraction, which resonated with her Islamic upbringing. She began to perceive Islamic practices as not only obligations but as pathways to personal growth and a deeper connection with God. This shift transformed her understanding of religion from a performance of duties to a more personal and spiritual experience.
Facing the challenges of being a Muslim in the West, Zahra discusses her struggle to balance societal expectations with her faith. She shares insights from her coaching work, emphasizing the need for a spiritually enriched approach to Islam, particularly in Western contexts.
