As we continue our exploration of Tafakkur (contemplation), a critical question arises: How does contemplation contribute to emotional and psychological well-being?
In this episode, Dr. Rania Awaad examines how, long before contemporary research recognized the therapeutic benefits of meditation and its connection to faith, the Qur'an underscored the significance of remembrance and reflection for emotional healing. Join us as we analyze a powerful Quranic ayah that presents three key remedies for psychological and spiritual well-being.

![Love in the Qur’an | Feel to Heal Ep 9: Love | Dr. Abdallah Rothman | Maristan Ramadan 2026
Who has the strongest love for Allah ﷻ? ❤️
Allah says in the Qur’an:
“...And those who believe are stronger in love for the Quran” [Qur’an 2:165].
The love from a believer stands firm in all circumstances. Classical scholars explained that a believer remains attached to Allah ď·» in gain and loss alike. He does not turn away in hardship. His love for Allah ď·» is steady because it is rooted in truth and yaqeen, not emotion alone.
In Episode 8, Dr. Abdallah Rothman explains the different types of love in the Qur’an and how to begin the journey of increasing our love of Allah ﷻ, and being more aware of His Love, Al-Wadud.
This Ramadan, we are asking our Instagram community to help raise $5,000 of our overall goal to launch the Maristan Academy. Your sadaqah today makes a true impact as we seek to offer new trainings that offer the Muslim community tools to help prevent mental health crises.
