Muslims and other minority groups often face challenges, including discrimination and uncertainty on multiple levels. Being viewed as such leads to lots of unwanted issues as noted by viewers. This added stress can lead to burnout and discontent. To tackle these issues, a culture of wellness must be cultivated, valuing well-being on both individual and organizational levels. This can be achieved through reducing distractions, promoting self regulation while fostering collaboration with those around that share our values. Aligning your Muslimness with short and long-term goals with loved ones and receiving while giving support can prevent burnout and its negative devestating impact, while also improving spiritual satisfaction and saving adverse impact to your imaan. To succeed in avoiding burnout, small steps, genuine effort, and commitment are essential.
The Qur’an reminds us to seek help through patience and prayer, as it is a difficult journey except for the most concerned. Gratitude is also emphasized, as it leads to increased favor from Allah (SWT). Despite the hardships, the Qur’an reminds us that after every difficulty comes ease.
Allah Certainly Knows Best.
