Welcome to the Nafs podcast!
Nafs is a non-academic, non-research organization whose mission is to spark a larger conversation where Muslims actively contribute to creating a socially, culturally, and religiously informed vocabulary for their own mental health experiences.
We imagine a world where the notion of ‘mental health’ fits seamlessly into everyday Muslim life and where Muslims are sincere, deep, respectful, and authentic thinkers about their own mental health and that of others. Mental health strikes at the core of what it means to be human, influenced by our biological, social, cultural, and religious lived experiences— just to name a few. We believe in narratives and lived experiences.
Podcasting isn't all that we do, check out our website nafscentral.com to see our other projects, including published journals, articles, community building, and collaboration with universities and colleges!
Disclaimer:
We acknowledge that each individual has their own relationship to Islam, and we
in no way are trying to push our version of it or tell you how to be Muslim. We are merely trying to open the conversation of mental health to Muslims in general, regardless of ethnicity, gender, religiosity, age, or any other positionality that affects your experience of Islam.
Nafs is not a professional mental health service and does not provide medical, psychological, or psychiatric advice of any kind. The information included is not a substitute for professional advice or services that diagnose or treat medical conditions. Please talk to a medical professional if you need mental health advice or treatment.
