Qur'an itself is a source of healing—shifa

the Qur'an itself is a source of healing—shifa—as Allah says. It’s not just about reading or memorizing, but also reflecting on its meanings through tadabbur (pondering) and tafakkur (contemplation). In our newest book, we explore how the concepts of mindfulness and meditation used in psychology are rooted in Islamic teachings, far stronger and more beneficial for Muslims. Through tadabbur, we’re encouraged to connect with the Qur’an in a way that speaks to us personally—whether through science, language, or even psychology. It’s about pausing, reflecting on our relationship with Allah, and realizing the bigger picture. When we practice this, even the ‘Firauns’ in our lives shrink in comparison to the greatness of Allah. May we all benefit from this healing and reflection, insha'Allah.
