When Hearts Feel Heavy: Coping With Trials and Tribulations

Sisters, we are living in difficult times.

‍

As we witness suffering, injustice, and uncertainty unfolding around the world, many of us are also carrying personal struggles, trials, losses, fears, and worries that no one else may know about. Sometimes, the heart simply feels heavy.

‍

Join Ustādha Dunia Shuaib, PhD, for a beautiful morning of reflection, nourishment, and connection.

‍

We will begin at 11:00 AM with a light brunch and café drinks, followed by a spiritually rooted halaqa exploring Islamically integrated, evidence-informed coping skills to support our spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being.

‍

Together, we will explore practical tools drawn from Islamic psychology, Qurʾānic wisdom, Prophetic guidance, and contemporary psychological research to help us move through trials, cope with emotional pain, and reconnect with sakīnah, hope, and closeness to Allāh ﷻ.

‍

We will reflect on how trials affect the heart, how to stay anchored in faith when life feels overwhelming, and how to care for ourselves emotionally and spiritually without dismissing, suppressing, or minimizing what we are going through.

‍

Come spend the morning learning, reflecting, connecting with other sisters, and giving your heart some space to breathe.
