Muslim Guide to Wellbeing

"Myira Khan saw a gap in the resources available to the Muslim community-a gap that needed to be filled with practical psychological tools and spiritual insights. This book addresses that gap beautifully ... all written in a manner that is accessible, jargon-free, and deeply aligned." - Tahira Yasin, Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor and CEO of NeurodirectoryThe Muslim Guide to Mental Wellbeing is a compassionate companion offering practical tools for emotional and mental health.
