Friday Khutba: The Use and Abuse of Mental Health Discourse

Friday December 16, 2022

Jumadi al-Ula 21, 1444

 

Discourse about mental health is increasingly common among Muslims, and many seek to back project modern mental health terms to the time of the Prophet and his Companions.

 

This Khutba reflects on the hadith of Hind b. Abi Hala who said, 'The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) was in a continual state of worry...' and looks at its proper understanding.
