Dunia Shuaib - Serenity - Tips to Manage Anxiety: Self Compassion

About this lecture

In this segment from her *Serenity* series on managing anxiety, counselor Dunia Shuaib explores the practice of self-compassion through the lens of Islamic teachings. She draws on authentic Hadith — including the Prophet's ﷺ words on human fallibility and his remarkable statement that the believer is more sacred to Allah than the Ka'bah — to encourage viewers to speak to themselves with kindness and dignity. A powerful and practical reminder that gentleness toward oneself is not just healthy, but deeply rooted in the Sunnah.
