Why is God angry with me?

In Ep. 33 of Season 2, we sit down with Sarah Sultan to discuss those shameful but pressing questions we have about Allah and His presence during tough times, the impact trauma can have on our relationship with our faith and what to do when we're too depressed to even pray.

We’ve talked about how trauma can have an ever-lasting effect on how we see ourselves, but it can also have an impact on how we perceive our connection to and our relationship with God.

Although some of us could never imagine ourselves questioning God, it’s crucial that we extend the conversation to include those who do so, secretly.

Sarah explains how we can pull ourselves out of those dark moments and rebuild the bridge that connects us to our faith and to Allah.

When times are tough, and depression has us too down to pray, let alone get out of bed, Sarah dives into how we can help ourselves and help those dealing with such feelings.

As a reminder, we need to leave our preconceived judgement at the door, because it’s not welcomed here. This is a space meant for vulnerable conversations and we can’t thank Sarah enough for her wisdom and motivating words.
