Trauma: Your Lord Has Not Forsaken You
Written by licensed therapists Najwa Awad, LSCW-C and Sarah Sultan, LPC, LMHC, this series of articles and videos seeks to address trauma through The Duha Approach, a comprehensive and Islamically sound approach to treating trauma from a spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical perspective. Each article and video in the series will address one of the ten most common types of cognitive distortions, or unhealthy ways of thinking, linked to common faith-based questions that may arise after having experienced adversity. The primary purpose of this series is to provide a refuge and healing for those who have silently endured trauma, perhaps not fully understanding what is happening to them and not knowing how or where to get help. The articles will work through depressive feelings, worries, and doubts that may impact faith while helping promote growth and healing.
5 Pillars Made Plain
<strong>What are the 5 Pillars of Islam?</strong> 1. Shahada (the testimony of faith) 2. Salat (prayer) 3. Zakat (alms giving) 4. Sawm (fasting) 5. Hajj (pilgrimage) Whether you were born to a Muslim family and are rediscovering faith, or you are a new Muslim who has recently accepted Islam, how can you build a strong connection with your new way of life? <strong>First step: begin with the basics.</strong> In this series, Sh. Abdullah Oduro walks us through the "who", "what", "when", "where", and "why" of the 5 foundational pillars of Islam. This series is not just for new and renewed Muslims—it is also a vital resource for convert coaches and Imams to use in their work.Featured Presenters
