Dr. Feryad A. Hussain's A Reference Guide for Character Development combines current psychology, Qur'anic verses, and authentic hadiths. Dr. Hussain draws on her extensive experience as a clinical psychologist to offer alternative understandings based on Allah's message to humanity by reframing eighty-five therapeutic themes through an Islamic lens, including self-control, patience, accepting advice, anger/aggression, being grateful, confidence, coping, flexibility, guilt, and many more. The work offers reasoning and supernatural comfort to help clients and therapists resolve their problems via faith, contemplation, and prayer.
A believer may have complete confidence and trust in Allah and His divine decree, but he or she may still experience psychological problems that necessitate the assistance of a therapist. Modern secular psychology rarely considers the influence or benefits of religion and spirituality on our well-being, despite the fact that these are frequently the most essential aspects of a Muslim’s life. This can frequently not only exacerbate distress and suffering, but also lead to a loss of faith.
