33. A Direct Line to God
In this episode of The Concept of Us, we discuss the importance of prayer and how we viewed prayer and our relationship with God growing up. Over the years, we've learned that our relationship with God should not be fear-based, but rather one of love. We learned that prayer isn't something we should do out of fear, but instead, out of love. Prayer is an open and direct line to God, whenever and wherever you need it. We truly hope you benefit from this episode. We'd love to know your thoughts!

31. Allah is Not Mad at You
Disclaimer: The following podcast episode contains sensitive and potentially triggering content related to suicide and mental illness. While we strive to provide helpful and informative insights on these topics, it is important to note that we are not mental health professionals and our discussion should not be taken as a substitute for professional advice or treatment. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts or mental illness, we urge you to seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner or contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988 (United States) or any crisis hotline. Listener discretion is advised.
Please note that although The Concept of Us is a podcast for everyone, this particular episode focuses on the Muslim community.
In this episode of The Concept of Us, we discuss a concerning statistic reported by the @MuslimYouthHelpline - 33% of their callers discussing suicide were aged 10-19. We wanted to raise awareness to the fact that young children are struggling with suicidal thoughts, too.
Our conversation centers around the importance of investing in creating safe spaces for young people to share their emotions and set the right examples for future generations. We also discuss a very informative and helpful episode called "Responding to Suicide" on Yaqeen Institute's Double Take Podcast. In this particular episode, Dr. Farah Islam, Director of the Psychospirituality Department at Yaqeen Institute, emphasizes the importance of starting mental health education early and providing young people with ways to learn about mental health. Dr. Islam also makes the point that suicide is impermissible because Allah does not want that kind of death for us.
As Muslims, it is crucial to understand that Allah is not angry with us for our suicidal thoughts. Remember that Allah is always there for us and seeking help is a brave and necessary step towards healing. Join us in this important conversation on mental health and suicide prevention.
