Nouman Ali Khan – The Quran’s Remedy for Sadness

About this lecture

In this lecture, Nouman Ali Khan explores the Quran's rich vocabulary for sadness and depression, unpacking six distinct Arabic terms — gham, huzn, bath, wayl, asaf, and asa — and what each reveals about the human emotional experience. He then presents powerful Quranic remedies drawn from the stories of the Prophets, including the transformative role of du'a, gratitude, and a living relationship with the Quran itself. The lecture concludes with a Q&A session addressing real-life struggles with depression, marriage, family conflict, and spiritual disconnection.
