Real talk

Jannah Moms, it's time for some real talk

Nobody handed us the words for 7:42pm. The moment your four-year-old screams “no” with their coat half on, or your ten-year-old rolls their eyes as Maghrib comes in. So we reach for whatever comes out first, or we give in to make it stop, and then we lie awake replaying it.

And if that sounds like your evenings, and why you're here today, you're not alone.

When I surveyed over 300 Muslim mothers, the same words kept coming back: “Kids not listening”. “Repeating same correction over and over”. “I struggle with yelling”. It feels like a loop that never ends, with a voice you don't recognise by bedtime and a heavy heart on the prayer mat after Isha.

This is where Liamanah comes in. I'm Zuliat, a working mum of two, and I'm right there in it with you. I haven't figured it all out. Even with my Positive Discipline training, the right words still fly out of my head at 7pm. So I'm learning, testing on my own kids, and turning what works into practical guides, scripts and duas to help us stay calm when the house gets loud, hold the boundary without being harsh, and bring Allah into the hardest minutes of the day.

Stop inventing the words under pressure and start focusing on what you already do best: loving them, guiding them, and raising the adults they will become. With Liamanah, the moment that usually ends in shouting can become a moment of tarbiyah. Let's find the words together.

What we believe

Five things I hold on to as a mum

01

You don't have to choose

Between your ambition and your motherhood. You can build a career and still be deeply present at home.

02

Positive isn't permissive

Gentle doesn't mean weak. You can be warm and still hold the boundary every single time.

03

Discipline should teach

Not simply punish. Every hard moment is a chance to grow character, not just get compliance.

04

Children are an amanah

A trust from Allah, not our property. Our job is to raise the adults they'll become.

05

Tools, not more guilt

You already carry enough. You need practical words that work at 7pm, not another lecture.

  • Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator since 2020

  • Mommy's Dua Book: 500+ copies, 20+ countries

  • 200+ mothers through Liamanah's courses

I'm a working mum of two with a full-time career, and I help Muslim mothers parent with Positive Discipline aligned with our Islamic Values.

I haven't mastered motherhood, and I'll never pretend I have. I'm learning, researching, testing and building practical tools for a problem I live with myself. Even with all my training, the right words can fly straight out of my head in the heat of the moment. So I write them down first, test them on my own two, and pass them on to you.

From Liamanah mothers

Don't just take my word for it

From mothers in Liamanah's earlier courses and community.

A whole week without yelling or spanking

“On a side note though, I tried not to yell or spank my boy for a whole week and I won. It turns out we connected better and he loved me more”

Sharifah, Liamanah community member

Instagram message from Sharifah about a week without yelling or spanking

From reacting to responding, step by step

“I have learned to be more relaxed about children pushing the buttons (because they are children) and I am trying to response instead of react. It is still a way to go but alHamdulillaah step by step.”

Umm Aasiyah, Liamanah course member

Message from Umm Aasiyah about responding instead of reacting

She had not yelled at her children in 3 days

“I was reflecting on Monday and I realised I hadn’t yelled at my children in 24 hours. ... This is day 3 and I know it can only get better. Ameen.”
