Mind Your Mind: Mental Health from a Prophetic Perspective
Healing hearts. Nurturing minds. Reviving the Prophetic model of care.
Join Dr. Rania Awaad this November for an inspiring journey across Australia – exploring how faith and psychology meet to bring balance, peace, and resilience to the modern Muslim soul.
About the Tour
In a time where anxiety, burnout, and emotional overwhelm are everywhere, Mind Your Mind invites you to reconnect with the timeless guidance of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — who embodied empathy, emotional intelligence, and mercy in every interaction.
Through this powerful tour, Dr. Rania Awaad will share practical, faith-based tools for mental wellness rooted in Qur’anic principles and Prophetic wisdom.
About the Theme: Mind Your Mind
The phrase “Mind Your Mind” is both a gentle reminder and a profound invitation : to care for, nurture, and protect the inner world that shapes every part of our being.
In Islam, the mind (‘aql) is not just a vessel of thought – it’s a sacred trust. It’s through our mind and heart that we come to know Allah, reflect upon His signs, and navigate the ups and downs of life. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ modelled a way of living that balanced the intellect, the heart, and the soul, offering a timeless guide to mental and emotional well-being.
Mind Your Mind: Mental Health from a Prophetic Perspective explores how this balance was embodied by the Prophet ﷺ and how his example can help us manage modern struggles like anxiety, burnout, loneliness, and self-doubt.
Through faith, reflection, and self-awareness, this tour calls us to return to the Prophetic way of emotional intelligence – one built on mercy, mindfulness, and meaning.
Key Concepts Explored
Emotional Intelligence in the Sunnah
How the Prophet ﷺ recognized and validated the emotions of others.
Spiritual Resilience
Anchoring the heart through remembrance, prayer, and purpose during times of hardship.
Compassion & Community
Building connections that nurture rather than drain - reviving empathy as a sunnah.

Self-Reflection & Healing
Learning to quiet the inner critic and realign the self with divine remembrance.
Why This Theme Matters Now
In a world that constantly demands more of us – more productivity, more performance, more perfection – Mind Your Mind is a call to pause. To return to the prophetic rhythm of balance and care. To remind ourselves that tending to our inner state is not indulgence, it’s an act of worship.
This tour brings together psychology and spirituality in a way that’s deeply relevant for today’s Muslim, offering not just understanding, but healing
