Dr. Abdallah was invited by the Emmoa Foundation in Ghana to speak about an Islamic perspective of the themes in Brene Brown’s book ‘Rising Strong’. He discusses how the Islamic paradigm of psychology positions vulnerability in relation to God, self and the other, and asserts that Muslims need to embrace vulnerability within their relationship to and practice of Islam. He draws parallels to Brown’s stages of “Reckoning, Rumbling and Revolution” with Al-Ghazali’s 6 stages of Murabata.
