Islam Supports Mental Health

Dr. Sarah Rasmi is joined by Judy Seoud, M.Ed., M.A. to explore the intersection of Islam and mental health. Together, they discuss key Islamic concepts such as tawakkul, sabr, and muhasabah, and how these principles can support emotional regulation, trust, accountability, and self-compassion. The conversation bridges faith and psychology, connecting spiritual practices with therapeutic tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques, values based reflection, and emotional validation. From mindful fasting and prayer as a daily reset to navigating guilt versus shame, this episode offers a thoughtful and culturally grounded perspective on wellbeing during Ramadan.
