Why do we have anxiety?  Why did Allah create such a stressful and uncomfortable emotion in us?  Is there a positive role anxiety can play in our lives and is there a healthy way to control it?  

Find out the answer to these questions and more in the next session of “Understanding Emotion”.  Led by Imam Abdul-Malik Merchant, this event is comprised of a lecture, Q&A and concludes with question-based group discussion.  We will examine and discuss anxiety through an Islamic lens, illuminating the role and harms anxiety plays in our lives while highlighting the emotional awareness to acknowledge the anxiety within ourselves and others.

The event begins at 6 and is open to attendees 14+.  Tickets are mandatory.
