Description from the publisher:
Recognising and Changing Destructive practices employs Qur'anic verses, chosen hadiths, and modern psychology theory to highlight harmful practices and help readers in changing their actions through thought. Dr. Feryad A. Hussain sets ideal Islamic behaviour as a goal and offers realistic and practical guidance and measures to achieve it. She encourages readers to reflect Islam in their thoughts and actions, keeping both this world and the afterlife in mind.
In this book, Dr. Feryad A. Hussain discusses a variety of typical habits and behaviours that Muslims may be unaware of that are not only harmful to their lives in this world but also risk their existence in the afterlife. Dr. Hussain not only emphasises damaging behaviours, but also the ideas and attitudes that commonly accompany them, in order to call the reader's attention to the inner cognitions that frequently drive negative behaviour.Using Qur'anic texts, pertinent hadiths, and her knowledge and experience as a clinical psychologist,Dr. Hussain explores each of these behaviours in light of Islamic beliefs and provides not just heartfelt recommendations for change, but also reinforcing ideas to help maintain positive change. More than a practical self-help guide to behaviour adjustment, it serves as a timely reminder of what authentic Islamic manners entail, how we should approach them intellectually, and how we can turn good thoughts into virtuous acts.
