Benefits of Counseling

Truly, God does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. [Rum: 11]

The Muslims have inherited a rich heritage, and when examined with an insight, we have healing for many, if not all, problems of the modern time.

Individuals often feel uncomfortable with the idea of counseling as it is at times looked down in many Muslim communities today. However, this was not the case during the Prophet (S) time. He encouraged to seek knowledge and nasiha (advice) and to build healthy relationships with your spouse, family, brothers, sisters and community at large:

Religion is nasihah.” We said: “To whom?” The Prophet (S) said: “To Allah and His Book, and His messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk.”[Muslim]

He (S) further stressed that if one member of the Ummah is hurt, the rest of the Ummah also hurts.

‘You will see the believers in their mutual kindness, love and sympathy just like one body. When a limb complains, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever’ [Muslim and Bukhari]

Naturally, any relationship will have its conflicts, however, in order to maintain the mutual love and respect for one another, it is imperative to seek counseling and education even before the problem escalates. This is done through individual and/or family therapy where individuals can evaluate and address issues with guidance through a professional. By engaging in therapy, many people have found ways to increase their communication skills and have learned how to increase the bond between different members in their family. With the aid of a qualified therapist, individuals can bring peace, stability and communication back into their relationship thus affecting their lives and those around them.
