Press Reviews
Dr. Ammara Khalid, Founder of RIA Psychological Services
This is the mental health guide Muslims around the world have been waiting for! Myira Khan provides wisdom and structured guidance by unpacking key struggles Muslims face in their relationship with themselves, with others, and Allah, and provides psycho-education and reflection exercises that are accessible to any reader. We need Khan's voice in the Muslim Umma to normalize discussion on mental health and include Islamic spirituality in scientific and academic literature.

The Muslim Guide to Wellbeing is a much-needed resource. Myira Khan offers a compassionate, faith-sensitive, and practical guide that speaks directly to the lived experiences of Muslims pursuing balance and fulfilment in today's world. By integrating Islamic values with contemporary psychological insights, she provides not just theory but practical tools readers can use every day. Accessible, supportive, and spiritually grounding, this book is a true companion for anyone seeking to nurture their mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
Safura Houghton, Co-Founder of The Lantern Initiative and Muslim Chaplain
The Muslim Guide to Wellbeing is a long overdue and much-needed resource. It's a timely and important contribution to the growing conversation around Islamic mental health and wellbeing. What makes it so valuable is how it brings together Islamic tradition and psychological insight in a way that is both accessible and deeply meaningful. Myira Khan has a real gift for breaking down complex psychological concepts and presenting them in a way that is grounded in faith and relevant to everyday life - something that's often missing in other wellbeing resources. The inclusion of Imam al-Ghazali's model of the self, with its focus on our relationship with Allah, ourselves, and others, adds a powerful spiritual depth to the book. This is a thoughtful, warm, and practical resource. I've truly enjoyed reading it, and I know I'll be drawing on many of its insights in my own work around self-care from an Islamic perspective. Highly recommended - a book that deserves a place on the bookshelf of every Muslim household, educator, and practitioner.
