Healing Addiction in the Muslim World: Insights from Islam and the Three Principles
Wouldn't it be something if the Muslim world led the rest of the world out of addiction with superior wisdom because of their spiritual nature that they understand so well?
How does spirituality shape addiction recovery in the Muslim world? In this episode of 'Addiction, Alcoholism & The 3 Principles', hosts Harry Derbitsky and Greg Suchy tackle this profound question. They dive into a 21-minute extract from the 'Addiction in the Muslim World' conference, where over 288 participants gathered to explore this vital topic.
Harry shares his personal journey of understanding the missing pieces in addiction treatment, emphasizing the powerful connection between Islamic teachings and the Three Principles (mind, consciousness, and thought). One standout idea is how the Quranic verse, 'Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear', offers a deeper perspective on resilience and coping with addiction. The discussion also touches on themes of forgiveness and redemption, highlighting that no matter how deep one's struggles, forgiveness is always within reach.
The episode invites listeners to consider a hopeful vision: what if the Muslim world, with its rich spiritual wisdom, could lead global efforts in overcoming addiction? This conversation is not just about understanding addiction but about integrating spiritual insights to foster healing and transformation.
