Ep 11 | Nurturing the Light Within: Overcoming Sadness | Maristan Ramadan 2024 Series

Depression, unlike sadness, is a state that can significantly impact an individual’s wellbeing. al-Balkhi, in “Sustenance of the Soul” emphasized this distinction, likened “depression in its acute form [as] a blazing coal fire while sadness is analogous to coal that remains glowing after the fire has subsided.” In this episode, Shaykh Tariq Musleh discusses Al Balkhi’s analysis of the two types of sadness and how we, as Muslims, should approach and navigate this condition.
