Can Islam truly be a feminist religion? In this episode, we are tackling the heavy questions swirling around modern Muslim spaces. We break down the friction between secular ideals and divine justice, the rising trend of Hadith skepticism and "Quran-only" narratives, and the deep emotional and theological weight surrounding the Hijab.

Welcome back to the podcast! As we navigate the First 10 Days of Ramadan—the Days of Mercy (Rahmah)—we’re diving deep into what it means to experience Allah’s grace in our daily lives, especially as women.

• Health & Fasting: Recognizing the signs of extreme fatigue and when it’s actually an act of worship to break your fast for your wellbeing.
• The Intellectual Muslimah: Why studying Hadith and Seerah is the ultimate tool for female empowerment.
Featured Quote: > "Being both religiously and academically intelligent is one of the greatest achievements a woman can strive for."

🎙️ “Imposter Syndrome in Deen: Am I Religious Enough?”
In this heartfelt episode, I explore the quiet struggle many Muslims face but rarely speak about — Imposter Syndrome in Deen. Have you ever felt like you’re not “religious enough”? Like everyone else is closer to Allah than you are? Or that your past mistakes disqualify you from seeking His mercy?
You’re not alone.
Let’s talk about those whispers of inadequacy, the pressure to appear perfect, and the truth about Allah’s mercy, growth, and being real in your faith journey.
This episode is a gentle reminder that struggling doesn’t make you any less worthy of connection with your Creator. 🤍

🎙️Faith and Identity as a Young Muslimah
In this very first episode of HayaaWithMaryam, I open up about something so many of us silently struggle with — the constant pressure to be more, do more, prove more.
From the weight of expectations in school and social media, to the fear of falling behind in life and deen, I share my personal journey of unlearning pressure and choosing peace instead.
This is your reminder that it’s okay to slow down. It’s okay to grow quietly. And it’s more than okay to prioritize your peace and your connection with Allah over perfection.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about embracing softness, setting boundaries, and becoming — without burning out.
With love and hayaa,
Maryam Kana 🤍
