In a recent lecture that took place in Genk, Belgium, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan discussed human psychology in the light of the Quran, and the emotion he focused on was trauma. This is the first in a range of upcoming series which focus on human psychology from the an Islamic lens.
Ustadh Nouman highlights the key differences between psychology frameworks pioneered by the likes of Freud and perpetuated today by “social media therapists”, and that which is present throughout the Quran. The former puts the individual at the center of the universe, whereas Islam recognizes Allah as the most important entity.
In contrast with the Quran’s narrative, mainstream psychology and other theological frameworks will have you believe that you are permanently broken, that your family is a prison, and that “healing” means cutting everyone off in order to free yourself.
Ustadh Nouman highlights how in fact, very real examples of trauma and feeling alone, unsupported, misunderstood and unheard, are already present in the Quran and were experienced by the Prophets themselves in their most extreme forms. How do we unpack these stories and recalibrate our understanding of these very real emotions?
This lecture and our upcoming series aims to answer this question, and unpack every single human emotion mentioned in the Quran by providing real-life, relatable examples of how we can recognize and manage them in our lives today..
