In this powerful and timely episode of Light Upon Light, we explore a question many Muslims silently struggle with:
👉 Is seeking a therapist a sign of weak faith?
👉 Can therapy and tawakkul (trust in Allah) coexist?

With rising mental health challenges, emotional burnout, and spiritual anxiety in today’s world, this episode breaks the silence around therapy in Islam. We dive deep into what the Qur'an and authentic Hadith say about taking the means, seeking help, and trusting in Allah.

Learn how our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) navigated grief, trauma, and sorrow, and how Islam encourages emotional healing alongside spiritual growth.

✨ Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply curious about Islamic perspectives on mental health, this episode offers clarity, hope, and direction.
We answer:

• Can Muslims go to therapy without compromising tawakkul?
