Khateebah Rayesa Gheewala delivers the pre-khutbah bayan (speech) at The Women's Mosque of America on February 16th, 2018. In light of Valentine's Day, Rayesa speaks about her past struggles with codependent relationships, about how codependency can be considered an act of shirk (associating partners with God), and about the importance of relying solely on God for all our needs.
Rayesa Gheewala is an American Muslim woman, born and raised in NY. She is a Certified High Performance Coach, Speaker, Trainer, Lover of Life, Mother of three, Pharmacist, and nature lover with a sweet tooth. As Rayesa has evolved, so has her purpose: Starting from being the best mother she can be to raise God-conscious, independent free-thinking people who contribute to society with their gifts — and now to inspire others to live out their purpose by becoming the most authentic, vibrant and highest version of themselves.
Having her identity tied to one person most of her life — and relying on someone else to define her and give her permission to be — was devastating, especially when going through an unexpected divorce after 17 years of marriage. It was also what transformed Rayesa by giving her the impetus for her spiritual and emotional rebirth, and what led to Rayesa creating her own identity based on self-discovery, self-love, acceptance, kindness, and compassion. This transformed her into an enlightened, independent free thinker with fearless confidence to live a peaceful, purposeful, and fulfilled life with excellence.
Rayesa’s dream was always to be a teacher. After practicing pharmacy for 20 years and raising three children, she now gets to live out her dream through coaching, offering workshops, and speaking. Rayesa believes that each person is here for a purpose and has the ability to reach their full potential through optimizing their mind, heart, soul, and body. Her mission is to help support high achieving professional working moms who are overworked, overcommitted, and overwhelmed — and guide them to having serenity, balance, and a life of abundance.
