Whispers of Nafsiyah

Health EN ↓ 5 episodes

Our podcast was made to destigmatize Mental Health in Muslim communities! Whispers of Nafsiyah wants to bridge the gap and offer ways to find holistic healing by combining therapy, medication, du’a, mindfulness, and self-care while emphasizing the psychological benefits of Islamic spiritual practices like prayer, dhikr, and sabr! Focus on real-life challenges faced by Muslims, including marriage conflicts, addiction, grief, infertility. Ultimately we want to create a safe, faith-centered space for mental wellness, empowering Muslims to seek help, heal, and thrive.
