In this episode we talked about the pressing issue of addiction among youth, particularly within the Muslim community. We explore the various forms of addiction, the importance of compassion in treatment, and the need for a nuanced understanding of modern challenges such as instant gratification. Imam Zahir emphasizes the significance of motivational interviewing and the three C's of change: conceptualization, commitment, and consistency. The conversation highlights the role of harm reduction strategies in addressing addiction and the necessity of community support in fostering healing and understanding.
