This was a great comparison of your protest to your Hajj journey and binding it together with the spirit of sacrifice.
I think collectively our threshold for sacrifice has decreased a lot. And that's what we are also being convinced somehow - to prioritise self-care and set boundaries.
Samiya I think by combining an Islamic perspective to psychology you are playing a very important role here.
Beautifully written. If only we Muslims understand our Deen, life would be Jannah on earth. The western thinking is opposite of Islam, must be uncomfortable to treat patients according to your beliefs.But I did it anyway during my practice and pts loved it.
I really like that definition of sacrifice - "Sacrifice isn’t self-erasure, but it is giving up some part of yourself for the betterment of others."
This was a great reminder in general. Thanks for all that you do!
Thank you for reading and the support!

Thanks for the support Amal! And yes, I agree, our threshold collectively has really lessened.
