Whether dealing with Generalized Anxiety Disorder or experiencing moderate degrees of anxiety that can make life challenging, this workbook serves as a valuable resource. It empowers individuals to seek help and use coping strategies that rooted in Islamic spirituality and belief.
This workbook can be used in conjunction with mental health treatment or as a self-help guide, supporting the journey towards balance and psycho-spiritual well-being, by the grace of Allah ﷻ.
