Ebû Ümâme (r.a.) şöyle dedi: “Farz ve nâfile namazlardan sonra Resûlullâh (s.a.v.)'e her yaklaştığımda onun şöyle duâ ettiğini işitirdim: “Allâhümmağfir lî zünûbî ve hatâyâye küllehâ, Allâhümme en‘ışnî vecburnî vehdinî lisâlihil a‘mâli velahlâkı, innehû lâ yehdî lisâlihihâ, velâ yasrifü seyyiehâ illâ ente (Allâhım! Bütün günâhlarımı ve hatâlarımı affeyle. Allâhım! Dünya ve âhirette derecemi yükselt. Kayıplarımı gider. Bana sâlih ameller ve güzel huylar nasip eyle. Şüphesiz sâlih ameller kazanmayı ve kötü huylardan korunmayı ancak sen lütfedersin.)” Enes ibni Mâlik (r.a.) şöyle dedi: “Resûlullâh (s.a.v.) namazı kılıp bitirince şöyle duâ ederdi: “Allâhümmec‘al hayra ömrî âhırahû, ve hayra amelî havâtimehû, vec‘al hayra eyyâmî yevme elkâke (Allâhım! Ömrümün sonunu hayatımın en hayırlı zamanı yap. Son amellerimi en hayırlı amellerim eyle. Sana kavuşacağım günü, yaşadığım günlerimin en hayırlısı eyle.)” Ebû Bekre (r.a.)'den rivâyet edildiğine göre, Resûlullâh (s.a.v.) namaz kıldıktan sonra şöyle duâ ederdi: “Allâhümme innî eûzü bike minel küfri velfakri ve azâbil kabri (Allâhım! Senin varlığını, birliğini inkâr etmekten, fakirliğe düşmekten ve kabir azâbından sana sığınırım.” Fedâle bin Ubeyd (r.a.)'den rivâyet edildiğine göre, Resûlullâh (s.a.v.) şöyle buyurdu: “Biriniz namaz kılıp bitirince önce Allâhü Teâlâ'ya hâmdü senâda bulunsun, sonra Nebiyy-i Ekrem (s.a.v.)e salâtü selâm getirsin, ardından da dilediği şekilde duâ etsin.” Ukbe bin Âmir (r.a.) şöyle dedi: “Resûlullâh (s.a.v.) bana her namazdan sonra Muavvizeteyn'i (Felak ve Nâs sûreleri) okumamı emretti.” (İmâm Nevevî, el-Ezkâr, c.1, s.209-211)

“Batılılar bir bahçeye girdiklerinde oradaki bitkileri sayarlar. Doğulularsa o bahçedeki bitkilerin kokusuyla mest olmayı seçerler” şeklindeki meşhur söyleyiş, Batılıları zevkten, Doğuluları (Müslümanları) ölçüden ve ahenkten “yoksun” sayması nedeniyle problemlidir. Zira, inancı ne olursa olsun insanlığının farkında olan her fert bilgi ve tecrübe düzeyine göre zevk ile ölçü ve ahengin berzahında durur. Kültürel nedenlerle mezkur iki durumdan birine daha fazla bir eğilim söz konusu olsa da, neticede her iki dünyadaki medeni şahikalar zevk ile ölçü ve ahengin birliğini, evrenselliğini ele veririler. Buradaki “eğilim” farkına, Heinrich Wölfflin'in Mimarlık Psikolojisine Öndeyişler'indeki “Mimarlık psikolojisinin görevi, inşa etme sanatının kendi araçlarıyla uyandırabildiği ruhsal etkileri betimlemek ve açıklamaktır.” şeklindeki tanımından baktığımızda, Batı'da aracın (materyalin), Doğu'da ise zamanı ve mekanı da bir ruhsallığın etkili olduğunu söyleyebiliriz. Buna göre konu tam da Wölfflin'in mimari esasında “dışavurumların aktarılmasına” mahsus oluşturduğu “Her ruh halinin, ona düzenli olarak eşlik eden belirli bir dışavurumu vardır; çünkü dışavurum dediğimiz, içeride olup bitenleri göstermek üzere dışarıya asılan bir tür bayrak değildir; yokluğu fark yaratmayan bir şey de değildir. Dışavurum, daha çok zihinde yaşanan olayın bedende kendini göstermesidir. Dışavurum sadece yüzümüzdeki kasların kasılmasından ya da ekstremitelerimizin hareketlerinden ibaret değildir. Dışavurum bedensel organizmanın bütününü kapsar.” şeklindeki ilk önermede somut bir şekilde ortaya çıkmaktadır. Zira Wölfflin, burada araçla ruhsallığı dışavurumda birleştirerek aşmaya çalışırken, zihniyeti gereğince önermesini “bedensel organizma” terkibine hapsettiği için bunu başaramamıştır. Bizim el-Makdisî (ö. 1000 civarı), el-Bîrûnî (ö. 1061?), et-Tancî (ö. 1368-69), Cafer Efendi (ö. ?) ve kendi günümüzden Turgut Cansever vd. büyüklerimizden mülhem olan “bakış terbiyemiz” ise, yukarıdaki berzah zikrimize bağlı olarak, araçla ruhu birleştiren bir bakıştır. Bunu derken Doğu-Batı sentezi gibi meymenetsiz bir terkipten değil, geometri kabiliyetini, Batı dillerinde bulunmayan kalp, gönül, vefa, hatıra… görmelerinden hareket ediyoruz. Mouayed Mnari'nin “Kayrevan Şehrinin Osmanlılaştırılması ve Tarihi Eserleri” adlı çalışmasında (doktor tezi, 2018), Tunus'un Dayılık Devri'nde dayıların Kayrevan'a girerlerken atlarından indip, ayakkabılarını çıkartarak yürüdüklerine dair naklettiği bilgi bile tek başına bizim bakışımızdaki farkı ifade etmeye yeterli gelir. Ziar bu tutum Wölfflin'in “bedensel organizma” terkibine sığması asla mümkün olmayan bir bakış ya da yine onun kullandığı kelimeyle başka zihniyetlerde benzeri olmayan bir dışavurum tarzıdır. Yukarıdan beri zikrettiklerimize bağlı olarak Ukbe b. Nafi camiine, halk arasındaki adıyla Sîdî Ukbe'ye ya da Cuma camii anlamında Ulucami'ye eriştirildiğimizde ziyaretimizin ilk muhatabının da Peygamberimiz Aleyhisselam'ın cihat cehdiye maruf sahabelerinden Hz. Ukbe b. Nafi'nin (ra) olması normaldir. Üstelik kabri burada da değildir Ukbe'nin. Bugünkü adıyla Biskra yakınındaki Tehûde'de şehit düşmüş, bugün kendi adını taşıyan Sîdî Ukbe kasabasına (Cezayir) defnedilmiştir. “Allah yolunda öldürülenler için ‘ölüler' demeyin. Hayır, onlar diridirler, fakat siz bilemezsiniz.” ilahi hükmünce (Bakara 2/154) bizim Ukbe'yi kendi elleriyle kurduğu Kayrevan'ın ve hassaten bu mescidin mukimi olarak bilmemiz de yine çok doğaldır. Onun ailesi üzerinden Peygamber Aleyhisselam'ın kızı Hz. Zeyneb'in üzüntüsüne ve dolayısıyla özellikle yeni Müslüman olmuş kölelerin maruz kaldıkları zulümlere, üzüntülere tıpkı tavaftaki gibi zamanı geriye katlayarak uyanışımız da…

Önceki yazımızda Hz. Ukbe b. Nafi'nin (ra), Tanca'yı da fethederek, serin dalgalarıyla atının ayaklarını ıslatan Atlas Okyanusu'na doğru “Rabbim, şayet önümdeki şu deniz olmasaydı ben bu ülkede senin yolunda cihat etmek üzere devam edip gidecektim” şeklindeki nidasını onun cihat konusundaki cehdine örnek olarak vermiştik. Cihat, İslam'ın en muhteşem eylem biçimlerinden biridir. Çünkü hayatın her cephesini kapsar. Nefis terbiyesini “büyük”, silahla yapılan savaşı “küçük” cihat sayan İslam anlayışının mensupları, ezanı yeryüzüne yaymayı cihat olarak değerlendirdikleri gibi, insanın hayatını kolaylaştırıp güzelleştirmek için yeryüzünün imar etmeyi, hem kendine kem de başkalarına hayır ve iyilikte bulunmak üzere ferdî niyet ve eylemlerini terbiye etmeyi… “de” cihat olarak değerlendirirler. Yine o yazımızda Ukbe'nin Ifrikiyye'de Kayrevan adıyla bir şehir kurup, orada bir cami inşa edişinden de söz ederek, görmemizin Rabbimizce nasip edilmesi halinde Kayrevan'ı kaydi ve ayne'l-yakîn bilgilerle ayrıca anlatmayı vaat etmiştik. Rabbimize şükürler olsun o nasip tahakkuk etti ve şimdi sıra vaadimizi yerine getirmeye geldi. Kayrevan hakkındaki kaydi bilginin, kuşatılmasının zorluğunu da değil imkansızlığını peşinen ifade etmeliyiz. Bunun iki nedeni var. Birincisi Ifrikıyye / Tunus tarihinin aynı zamanda bir Akdeniz, Doğu ve Batı Roma, İslam fetihleri ve devletleri, Osmanlı ve Batı sömürgesi tarihi olmasındandır. Bu nedenle Kayrevan hakkında bizim dünyamızdan Belâzürî'ye (ö. 892-93), el-Makdisî'ye (ö. 1233), Ebü'l-Fidâ'ya (ö. 1331) baş vurulması ne kadar gerekliyse Batı dünyasından Braudel'e (ö. 1985) başvurulması da bir o kadar gereklidir. Bir de İslam sanat ve mimarisiyle ilgili boyutu var Kayrevan'ın. Bu konuda çalışanların en meşhurlarından ikisi, Georges Marçais (ö. 1962) ile Creswell'dir (ö. 1974). En iyisi biz bu bağlamda okurlarımızın kolayca erişebilecekleri Osmanlı Devrinde Tunus (Mehmet Maksudoğlu, İnkılab Yay.); Osmanlı Akdenizi (İdris Bostan, Küre Yay.) ve Tunus'ta Osmanlı Mimari Eserleri (Kadir Pektaş, TTK Yay.) adlı kitapları zikredip, el- Makdisî'den bir nakille sürdürelim sözümüzü. Makdisi, Ahsenü't-Tekâsîm'inde 970'li yılların Kayrevan'ı hakkında şu bilgileri vermiştir: “Kayravan bu iklimin (Mağrib ikliminin) merkezidir. Güzel, büyük, ekmekleri ve eti tatlı, zıtlıkları barındıran bir şehirdir. Meyveleri, ovası, dağı, denizi, nimetleri çok, ilmi olan, ucuz bir yerdir. Eti çok tatlı olup beş menni 1 dirhem, incirin beş menni 10 dirhemdir. Üzümünü, hurmasını, kuru üzümünü sorma! Burası iki Mağrib'in limanı, iki denizin ticaret yeridir. Buranın şehrinden daha kalabalık, daha rahatını göremezsin. Çok ülfet sahibi, gürültücü olmalarına rağmen Hanefi, Maliki mezhebinden başka bir mezhep yoktur. Asla tarafgirlik yapmazlar. Onlar Allah'ın nurudurlar, Kendi işleriyle uğraşırlar, kalpleri temizdir. Burası Mağrib'in medar-i iftiharı, sultanın merkezi, ana rükunlardan biridir. Nişabur'dan daha merhametli, Dımaşk'tan daha büyük, İsfahan'dan daha değerli bir yerdir. Ancak, suları az, edepleri hafiftir. Zarif kimse bulunmaz. Sularını sert toprakta biriktirirler, dükkan sahiplerine vergi koyarlar, geçimleri Sabra'dandır. Şehrin çarşıları işlemez, halkı salıverilmiş sürü gibidir, teravihleri kılmazlar. Halka 3x3 milden az yer kalmıştır. Şehrin suru yoktur. Yerdeki depolardan, sarnıçlardan su içerler. Buralarda yağmur suyu birikir. Halife Muiz onlara dağdan su getirmiştir. Bu su ile depolarını, doldururlar, Sabra'daki sarayına bir kısım su girer. Evleri yapışkan çamur ve tuğladandır.

Ashâb-ı Kirâm (r.a.)'den Ukbe bin Âmir (r.a.) şöyle dedi: “Resûlullah (s.a.v.)'i şöyle buyururken dinledim: “Kimin üç kızı bulunur da, onların yetişmesindeki zorluklara sabreder, elindeki imkânlarla onları giydirip kuşatırsa, bu çocuklar onunla cehennem ateşi arasına perde olurlar.” Câbir ibni Abdillâh (r.a.), kendisini dinleyenlere, Resûlullah (s.a.v.)'in şöyle buyurduğunu söyledi: “Üç kızı olan, onları koruyup gözeten, ihtiyaçlarını temin eden ve onlara şefkâtli davranan kimse mutlaka cennete girer.” Câbir ibni Abdillâh (r.a.) sözlerine şöyle devam etti: Resûl-i Ekrem (s.a.v.)'in meclisinde bulunan bir adam: “Yâ Resûlallâh! İki kızı olup, onları aynı şekilde yetiştiren kimse de cennete girer mi?” diye sordu. Allâh'ın Resûlü (s.a.v.) ona: “Evet, iki kızını aynı şekilde yetiştiren de cennete girer.” buyurdu. Kızlar, erkeklere göre daha nârindir. Hayatın zorluklarına ve kendilerini bekleyen tehlikelere karşı korunmaları gerekir. Onların maddî ihtiyaçlarını gidermek elbette önemli, ama yeterli değildir. Onları, her sıkıntıya katlanarak İslâm terbiyesiyle eğitmek daha da önemlidir. İşte bu sebeple Resûl-i Ekrem (s.a.v.) Efendimiz iki veya üç kızını kimseye muhtaç etmeden büyüten babayı veya anneyi Allâhü Teâlâ'nın cehennem ateşinden koruyacağını müjdelemektedir. Allâh'ın Resûlü (s.a.v.), kız çocuklarını güzelce yetiştirdikten sonra, onların iyi bir evlilik yapmalarını sağlamayı, hattâ daha sonra da kendilerine yardımcı olmayı tavsiye buyurmuştur. (İmâm Buhârî, Edebü'l-Müfred, c.1, s.110-112)

*Biri hakkında kötü düşüncelere sahip olmaya “sû-i zan” denir. Cenâb-ı Hak, bir ayet-i kerimede, sû-i zannın çirkinliğini ifade sadedinde, “Ey iman edenler! Zandan çok sakının. Çünkü zanların bir kısmı (ism) günahtır. Birbirinizin gizli hallerini araştırmayın.” (Hucurât Sûresi, 49/12) buyurmuştur. Bundan dolayıdır ki Nur Müellifi, dört büyük hastalığı sayarken, yeis, ucb ve gurur ile beraber sû-i zannı da zikretmiş ve insanın hüsn-ü zanna memur olduğunu belirtmiştir. (14:55) *Cenab-ı Hak şöyle buyuruyor: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَنْ تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ “Ey iman edenler, herhangi bir fâsık size bir haber getirecek olursa, onu iyice tahkik edin, doğruluğunu araştırın. Yoksa, gerçeği bilmeyerek, birtakım kimselere karşı fenalık edip sonra yaptığınıza pişman olursunuz.” (Hucurât Sûresi, 49/6) Müfessirlere göre, söz konusu ayet, Benî Mustalik kabilesiyle alâkalı bir haber üzerine gelişen hadiseler münasebetiyle nâzil olmuştu. Velid bin Ukbe, Mustalik oğullarının zekat vermeye yanaşmadıkları ve Peygamber Efendimiz'le savaşmak için hazırlık yaptıkları şeklinde bir haber ulaştırmıştı. Bu haber karşısında çok heyecanlanan bazı sahabiler hemen saldırıya geçmek gerektiğini söylemiş ve âsilerin çabucak cezalandırılmaları istikametinde görüş beyan etmişlerdi. Haddizatında o birkaç sahabinin fevrîlikleri, Allah'ın dinine bağlılıklarından, kalblerindeki iman aşkından, küfre ve isyana karşı duydukları öfkeden dolayıydı. Mustalik oğullarının, Allah Rasûlü'nün emrine itaat etmediklerini ve zekat vermeye yanaşmadıklarını duyar duymaz, gönüllerindeki din gayretiyle hemen ayağa kalkmış ve Rasûl-ü Ekrem'e isyan eden bu kabileyle savaşmak üzere yola koyulma niyetlerini izhar etmişlerdi. Fakat, Allah Rasûlü (sallâllahu aleyhi ve sellem) onların savaş isteklerini hemen kabul etmemiş, önce durumun incelenip haberin doğru olup olmadığının tesbit edilmesi lazım geldiğini söylemiş ve bu vazife için de Hazreti Halid'i görevlendirmişti. Hazreti Halid (radiyallahu anh) gece vakti Benî Mustalik mahallesine varmış, gözcülerini onların arasına göndermiş ve kendisi de etrafı kontrol etmişti. Gözcüler geri dönünce, Mustalik oğullarının İslam'a bağlı olduklarını, onların ezanlarını duyduklarını ve namazlarını gördüklerini haber vermişlerdi. Sabah olunca Hazreti Halid bizzat Mustalik oğullarına gitmiş; onların kat'iyen isyan etmediklerini, biatlarını koruduklarını, zekatı bir vazife bildiklerini ve onu îfâ etmeye gönülden razı olduklarını görmüştü. Şahit olduğu manzara karşısında çok memnun kalan Hazreti Halid durumu Rasûlullah'a iletince, Peygamber Efendimiz (aleyhi ekmelü't-tehâyâ) “Tedbirli davranmak Allah'tan, acele ise şeytandandır.” buyurmuştu. İşte, bu olayın akabinde hükmü kıyamete kadar kalacak ve benzer meselelerde müslümanlara hep ışık tutacak olan söz konusu ayet indirilmişti. Bu video 20/10/2013 tarihinde yayınlanan “Girdili-Çıktılı Aktarmalar ve Suizan Virüsü” isimli bamtelinden alınmıştır.

Gözlerimi kapatıp hayal ediyorum: Mekke'de dünyaya gelen, Mısır'ın fethine katılan, ardından Kuzey Afrika'yı İslâm topraklarına katan, bugünkü Tunus'u da içine alan İfrikiyye bölgesinin ilk camisini kuran, atını ta Atlas Okyanusu'na kadar sürüp daha öteye ilerleyemeyince parmağını gökyüzüne doğru kaldırarak “Ya Rab, şahit ol! Eğer karşıma bu umman çıkmasaydı, senin adını duyurmak için dünyanın en uzak yerlerine giderdim!” diye yakaran, dönüşte Cezayir içlerinde yoluna devam ederken şehit düşen, kabri zamanla Mağrib'in en önemli ziyaretgâhlarından birine dönüşen, ismi çağların ötesinden bugüne hâlâ parlak bir fener gibi ışıldayan bir kahraman... Ukbe bin Nâfi'nin, 682'de fani ömrünü tamamlayana dek kat ettiği mesafeyi ve bıraktığı izleri tahayyül etmek, insanın havsalasını zorluyor doğrusu. Geçtiğimiz perşembe günü, Tunus'un Kayravân şehrinde, temelleri 670'te atılan ulu camiyi bütün ihtişamıyla seyrederken aklımda bunlar vardı. Ukbe'nin öyküsü, gayretli ve samimi olmak şartıyla, tek bir kişinin tarihte bazen ne büyük çığırlar açabileceğinin işaretiydi. Günümüzde artık 180 bin nüfuslu büyük bir şehre dönüşmüş bulunan Kayravân, İfrikiyye'de kısa bir müddet hüküm süren Ağlebîler döneminde (800-909) en parlak yıllarını yaşamış. Necd kökenli, Hanefî mezhebine mensup Arap bir hanedan olan Ağlebîler, özellikle üç sahada öne çıkmış: 1) Kalelerin, şehir surlarının ve camilerin kapsamlı bir biçimde restorasyonu, 2) Tarım ve sulama seferberliği, 3) Akdeniz adalarında fetihler ve İslâmlaştırma faaliyetleri. Nitekim Kayravân Ulu Camii de, Ağlebîlerin özenli restorasyonuyla günümüze aktarılmış. Kayravân'ın bir açık hava müzesini andıran, labirent biçimli ara sokaklarında dolaşırken önümüze sıklıkla dokuma tezgâhları, desenli kapılar ve tarihî mescitler çıkıyor. Şehir, “turistik” bir belde için oldukça ıssız, ama tarihin soluğunu dinlemek isteyenler için elbette bu durumda şikâyet edilecek hiçbir şey yok. Ve sessiz bir şehir, tefekkür için de birebir: Kuzey Afrika'nın ilk tam tefsirini kaleme alan Yahyâ bin Sellâm'ın (v. 815) da aynı sokaklarda yürüdüğünü düşünmek mesela... 1881'de başlayan Fransız işgali öncesinde, Kayravân'a gayrimüslimlerin girişinin özel izne tabi olduğunu hatırlayıp gülümsemek... Buhara için Sâmânoğulları ne anlam ifade ediyorsa, Kayravân için de Ağlebîlere aynı rolü vermek... Şehrin en eski kabristanının “Kureyş” adını taşıyor olmasının hatırlattıklarına odaklanmak... Burada medfûn bulunan, Hz. Ömer'in torunu Zeyneb binti Abdillah'ın kabrinde Fatiha okumak... Ağlebîlerin kurduğu muazzam sulama sisteminden günümüze kalan dört büyük havuzu yukarıdan izlemek... Berberî asıllı sahabî Ebû Zem'â el-Belevî'nin kabrinde, yüzyıllar öncesine uzanmak... Kayravânlıların yeraltından Zemzem'e bağlandığına inandığı Berrûta kuyusunun suyundan içmek... Endülüs esintili mimarisiyle Kuzey Afrika'yı İspanya'ya bağlayan Üç Kapılı Cami'yi temaşa etmek... Kayravân'dan sonraki duraklarımız Mehdiyye, Sûse ve Munastir'e devam ederken, benim aklım elbette bu muhteşem İslâm şehrinde kalmıştı. Bütün ziyaretlerimde ve her seferinde olduğu gibi. 915'te Fâtımî İmparatorluğu'nun temellerinin atıldığı Mehdiyye, kurucusu Ubeydullah el-Mehdî'nin adını taşıyor. Kayravân için Hristiyanların muhtemel saldırılarından dolayı içeride bir bölge tercih edilirken, Ağlebîlerin sağladığı istikrar sayesinde Fâtımîler sahildeki bir yarımadaya rahatça yerleşmişler. Fâtımîlerden günümüze ulu cami ile liman ve saray kalıntıları ulaşmış.

So what can we do? How can we identify a relationship that is filled with emotional abuse? Is there a way to see it and get out before more damage is done and heal more compassionately and efficiently once it's over? What can we do to help ourselves in the future, to enforce healthy boundaries and not let someone take over our very existence?Liz Goddard returns on this episode of the podcast to dive deeper into healing from an emotionally abusive relationship. Elizabeth is an Author, Spiritual Life Coach, Soul Transformation Therapist, Soul Plan Reader, and Reiki Master Teacher; training with the Holistic Healing College in London. She works with women to help them understand why they attract abusive relationships and helps them heal the ORIGINAL wound. She believes that by healing the original wound you can feel whole, something you may never have experienced and allow you to take charge of your life.During our chat, Liz shares about her upcoming new book, "The A to Z of Emotional Abuse", and how the key to healing lies in understanding. In her new book, she takes the approach of education and learning about what emotional abuse is, in order to not only identify it but also to heal.How cognitive dissonance and gaslighting can go hand in hand in an abusive relationship, and consequently literally damage our brain from the emotional trauma.Understanding who exactly is to blame for the emotional abuse, and working through the urge to self-shame.What role did you play in the relationship, and what you can you learn from it without interpreting the events in a way that causes you to take on all of the blame?What is a manufactured soulmate and how can that mindset keep us stuck in the emotionally abusive relationship? For that matter, the importance of understanding that the toxic relationship itself is a manufactured relationship in the first place?How to recognize if you are in an emotionally abusive relationship; the key to understanding what's happening.Idealization and Devaluation phases of a relationship, and how the toxic partner will use your ideals against you to manipulate you.Learn more about Elizabeth Goddard, her ROAR program to Help Heal from Emotional Abuse, her Free Meditations available, her upcoming book, and more, over on her website ReviveYourSoul.co.ukBe sure and also follow her on Twitter , Facebook and Instagram .If you enjoy these podcasts would you consider doing 3 easy things for us?Share it with one person who might find it helpful.Leave a review on your favorite podcasting app.Follow the podcast on that same app, so you never miss an episode.That’s it…Super Easy and it would mean the world to us.If you want to go a step further, we have a special Thank You just for You!

We find out how to pick the projects you should say yes to for developing your career. As well as wrapping up on challenges and obstacles you might expect if you decide to follow in her footsteps.I’ve learned so much and it was kind of unexpected.

This week’s guest esteemed Director Mimi Leder, who’s behind the incredible movie On The Basis Of Sex- The Ruth Bader-Ginsburg biopic which is out in the cinemas as of February 22nd. It’s a fantastic watch that I highly recommend you go and see. RBG is a true feminist icon who infamously moved the needle on gender discrimination and women’s rights in the supreme court.Mimi Leder is a producer and Director. Her credits include On the Basis of sex, The Leftovers Deep Impact and Pay it forward. On the Basis of Sex is Mimi’s first feature film in 18 years following what she describes as ‘movie jail’. We don’t get into that but for some context Pay it Forward wasn’t as successful, and Mimi struggled to get hired as a Director afterwards, she believed this was in part due to her being a woman in a heavily male-dominated industry. In today’s episode, you will learn one of the best ways to deal with feedback and criticism, how you can progress in your career as a woman in male-dominated industries, and why it’s important that we are inclusive when hiring our crews. We jump straight in with why she said yes to ‘On the Basis of Sex’ after 18 years.Thank you so much for listening in.

Hello and welcome to the Wanna Be Podcast. I’m your host Imrie! Wanna Be is the podcast that takes you from where you are right now to Where you Wanna Be in 30mins or less. Thank you for staying subscribed and listening in. Last season and the Black History Month special were an absolute dream to put together for you. Thank you for the new reviews as well!You can subscribe for free and catch a brand new 30 minute episode every Wednesday.This season will be a little different. The key changes are that there will be only 1 episode per week but it’ll still be short, sweet and double the amount of motivational goodness you’ve come to know and expect.This week’s guest should be very familiar to you it’s London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan! I had the pleasure of sitting down with the Mayor during the Behind Every Great City campaign.Sadiq Khan is a British politician serving as the Mayor of London since 2016. He served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tooting from 2005 to 2016. He got his law degree from the University of North London. Before entering politics he was a solicitor specialising in human rights. Before becoming Mayor he held a number of positions including Minister of State for Communities in 2008, Minister of State for Transport, Shadow Secretary of State for Justice, Shadow Lord Chancellor and Shadow Minister for London. He was elected Mayor of London at the 2016 mayoral election, winning by the largest number of votes in one election of any politician in British history.In today’s episode the Mayor will show you how to look at the glass as half full, he shares how he handles the responsibility and subsequent blame when tragedy strikes. He reveals whether women and other BAME individuals should run for London Mayor and finally is it ever worth poshing up your voice to get ahead in politics or for any job really.We jump in with the Mayor sharing where he thought he’d end up in life if he wasn’t the Mayor.It’s not an easy job at all to be the Mayor but I personally feel very inspired by how optimistic and positive Sadiq was about the job and his overall commitment to helping others fulfil their potential. I’m not sure I could put up with 1% of what he does and still remain positive about people so I find him to be quite refreshing.To follow the Mayor you can do so @SadiqKhan and be sure to tell him that @wannabepodcast sent you :)Thank you so much for listening in.

“Allah'ım! Bu karanlık deniz önüme çıkmasaydı Senin Nâm-ı Celîlini denizler ötesi âlemlere götürecektim.”

Learning to break the cycle of abuse and heal past trauma can be a very spiritual experience for some survivors, and for those who have a desire to in touch with their spiritual side and using the energy of the universe to help in healing, working with a professional who specializes in Soul Transformation Therapy and Reiki can be an incredibly rewarding experience.My guest on the podcast today is Liz Goddard. Liz reached out to me with an interest in coming on the podcast to talk more about her work in these areas and the benefits that working with a coach can have when a client is trying to heal deep wounds of the past by connecting with the energy around them.Elizabeth is an Author, Spiritual Life Coach, Soul Transformation Therapist, Soul Plan Reader and Reiki Master Teacher; training with the Holistic Healing College in London. She work with women to help them understand why they attract abusive relationships and helps them heal the ORIGINAL wound. She believes that by healing the original wound you can feel whole, something you may never has experienced and allow you to take charge of your life.Elizabeth has supported women who hadn’t realized they have been Emotionally Abused, but had been stuck in their lives not able to move forward and believing everything was their fault. She believes we take on our behaviours and beliefs growing up, and that some of these aren’t actually our own they have been handed down with each generation.She herself has experienced both physical and emotional abuse in her life, but it was only when she was healing from a break-up that she discovered the cycle of abuse and although she had seen glimpses of similarities during the relationship, she was finally able to see the patterns in her life. During her healing journey, where she needed closure, and to understand what had happened, she discovered the answers. She had taken all the blame for the breakdown and was left confused and drained both physically and mentally; a shell of her former self.Elizabeth gives her clients the information and understanding they need, helping them see their own patterns and profoundly heal from the experience.During our chat on this episode of the podcast, Liz and I discuss:Soul Transformation Therapy, what is it, how does it work, and what are the benefits?The importance of discovering and healing the original wound at the root of trauma.Her work as a Reiki Master Teacher, and learning more about what Reiki is.Animal Reiki, and the profound healing that can come in our furry family members.Why more men don't reach out for help to experience this type of healingThe importance of not glossing over or overwriting red flags in all types of relationships.Liz will be joining me again on the podcast in 2019 so we can dive deeper into her work in helping clients stop the cycle of abuse, recognize red flags in relationships, and learning from our past. In the mean time, I truly hope that you enjoy my chat with Liz Goddard on the podcast, and please consider sharing it with someone who might benefit from our chat...and don't forget to subscribe! :)Learn more about Elizabeth Goddard, her ROAR program in Helping to Heal from Emotional Abuse, her Free Meditations available, her Book "Finding Lily", and more over on her website ReviveYourSoul.co.ukBe sure and also follow her on Twitter , Facebook and Instagram Matthew Pappas, CLC, MPNLP Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sPH8pMZ)
