This workbook is designed for individuals struggling with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) – known in Islamic literature as waswasa or al-waswas al-qahri. Many Muslims experiencing OCD, especially when symptoms appear in religious practices, prefer guidance that aligns with their faith. This resource offers exactly that: a practical, faith-centred path toward healing.
OCD can sometimes manifest as scrupulosity, where intrusive thoughts and compulsions revolve around worship, purity, prayer or other acts of devotion. In these cases, people may feel hesitant to seek help through purely secular resources. This workbook bridges that gap by integrating sound psychological strategies with Islamic principles, making it accessible, relevant and spiritually grounded.
Rooted in Traditional Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy (TIIP), this workbook blends behavioural science with classical Islamic thought to provide an approach that is both clinically effective and religiously authentic. It guides readers step by step through understanding their symptoms and implementing evidence-based strategies while honouring their spiritual values.
Clear, practical and easy to use, this workbook offers Muslim readers a compassionate framework for recovery and a faith-aligned way to regain balance and wellbeing.
