Marriage Therapy, Islamic Psychology and British Muslims
In this episode of the Blood Brothers Podcast, Dilly Hussain converses with a respected British scholar, counsellor, and chaplain, Imam Abdullah Hasan, delving into the intersections of marriage, therapy, and Islamic thought.
The discussion covers a range of topics, including:
- The dynamics of Muslim marriages and how secular therapeutic practices contrast with traditional Islamic psychology.
- Key challenges that often lead to marital breakdowns, such as financial disputes, family conflicts, and the gradual fading of romantic love.
- Methods for addressing trauma, various mental health concerns, and the effects of mystical practices.
- The balance that Muslims in Western societies strive for, weighing integration against assimilation.
- The roles of political engagement, community outreach, and active participation in elections.
- An exploration of identity and belonging, and the tension between a global Islamic community and loyalty to one’s country of birth.
