Learning to love Allah through Salah Therapy

Five times a day you stand, bow and prostrate. Done with even a little attention, that repetition is doing something to you that researchers can measure.
This afternoon we look at how to use Salah deliberately, as training rather than routine. How the movements and the words work on your attention, your stress response, and what your mind learns to value most.
Who is hosting
This is a mixed group, hosted together by Bilal and Sana. Brothers and sisters are both welcome, and we've set it up so that everyone feels comfortable walking in.
Bilal is a psychologically and neuroscientifically informed coach, integrating that research with the Qur'an and Islam.
What the afternoon looks like
Bilal opens with a short introduction to Muslim Psychology and the work we do
An emotion check exercise, takes about 90 seconds
The topic, introduced and unpacked
A quiet journalling activity, just for you. Nobody reads it
A discussion round, in pairs and then across the room
Open Q&A with Bilal, ask anything
The same emotion check exercise again, so you can see what shifted
A warm close
What to bring
We'll hand you the emotion check sheet on the day. Bring a pen, and a notebook if you like taking notes during the session. Your phone's notes app works just as well, whatever is comfortable for you.
Please note
These sessions are not a source of religious rulings. Bilal is not a mufti or an alim. What we share is grounded in psychology and neuroscience research, brought alongside Islamic reflection. For matters of fiqh or religious verdicts, please refer to a qualified scholar.
Before you book
Only 10 spots. First come, first served.
We meet at John Lewis Stratford on Saturday afternoons, 4:00 to 5:30 pm. Please buy a drink or something small while you're there. It supports the space that lets us gather.
There's no pressure to speak or share. Come as you are.
