Yasmin Mogahed - Finding Peace in a Chaotic World

About this lecture

In this lecture, Yasmin Mogahed explores how to find inner peace amid the chaos of modern life by reconnecting with our fundamental Islamic purpose. Drawing on Quranic verses, prophetic hadith, and relatable analogies, she outlines the spiritual roots of our restlessness — including materialism, distraction, and a lack of trust in Allah — and offers three practical prescriptions: consistent daily prayer, morning and evening adhkar, and regular engagement with the Quran. She also addresses the relationship between spirituality and mental health, the concept of husn al-dhann billah (having a good opinion of Allah), and the proper Islamic understanding of sabr in the face of oppression.
