Misery Does NOT Equal Spirituality | Why Depression Blocks Your Path to Allah

If you think suffering makes you more spiritual, you’ve been lied to.

In this episode, I’m destroying the biggest lie keeping Muslim women stuck: that misery equals spirituality.

The truth? You CANNOT get close to Allah when you’re depressed. Joy isn’t selfish—it’s your PATH to Allah.

In this episode:

• Why the “suffering = spirituality” narrative is NOT Islamic

• What the Prophet ﷺ and Sahaba actually taught about joy

• The story of Rabia al-Adawiyya (the radiant mystic)

• How depression distorts your view of Allah

• Why joy and radiance are signs of closeness to Allah
