About the Event
Modern psychology often focuses on the mind in isolation, while Islamic traditions have long embraced a holistic approach to mental health—one that ties the mind, body, and soul together. Amal will present on how Islamic philosophy and early Muslim scholars approached mental health centuries before modern psychology emerged. This discussion will offer an alternative perspective on therapy, emotional well-being, and the connection between faith and healing.
