Fortnightly Webinar - Trapped by Self-Doubt
Understanding the Role of Self-Esteem in Shaping your Mental Health, Identity, and Spirituality from an Islamic Psychology Perspective
Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough, no matter how hard you try?
Do you catch yourself replaying mistakes, doubting your worth, or shrinking back when opportunities arise?
Low self‑esteem doesn’t just live in your thoughts – it quietly sabotages your confidence, weakens your relationships, and blocks your path to success. It can make you settle for less, silence your voice, and even distance you from the strength of your faith. When you don’t believe in yourself, every challenge feels heavier, every criticism cuts deeper, and every achievement feels undeserved.
Our upcoming Islam and Psychology Fortnightly webinar with Afshan Khan is designed to uncover the hidden ways self‑esteem issues may be holding you back – and to show you how building true self‑worth can transform your life in both Dīn and Dunyā.
Key objectives:
Explore how self-esteem issues manifest in everyday life.
Understand the destructive cycle of negative thinking.
Learn the interconnection between self-esteem and Muslim identity.
Identify how to overcome cycles of self-criticism, self-doubt and comparison.
- Find a renewed way to rebuild their self-esteem from a holistic perspective.
Who is it for?
Students and teens.
Parents, teachers, imams and da’eeh.
Muslim mental health professionals.
Anyone wanting to break the cycle of self-doubt and reclaim their Muslim identity.

Fortnightly Webinar - Beyond Romance: Rethinking Love through Islam and Psychology
What if the way we’ve been taught to understand love is too small and shallow for the human heart?
What if love isn’t something that ‘happens’ to us – but something we learn, cultivate, and answer for?
Modern culture often reduces love to chemistry, compatibility, or emotional highs. Yet the Islamic tradition speaks of love as a spiritual force, a moral commitment, and a path of inner refinement. In our upcoming Solace Fortnightly Webinar with Bela Khan titled, “Beyond Romance – Rethinking Love Through Islam and Psychology”, we will explore how our assumptions about love shape our choices, expectations, and emotional experiences often without us realizing it.
We will reflect on:
– How cultural narratives quietly script our ideas of love
– Why many people feel confused, disappointed, or overwhelmed in relationships
– The difference between emotional intensity and emotional wisdom
– How Islamic teachings expand our understanding of love beyond romance
– What it means to love with consciousness, responsibility, and spiritual clarity
This webinar is a space to rethink love – not as fantasy or fate, but as a deeply human and spiritual journey.
📅Date: 25th April 2026 (Saturday)
⏰Time: 6 pm Makkah Time

What is Islam & Psychology Fortnightly?
The rate at which the impact of secular psychology is expanding is unprecedented in this digital age. Every other person, channel, and platform promotes and advocates ideas for solving life problems. However, the assumptions and the principles bombarded upon us are flawed and twisted. Consequently, it makes us question the degree to which we should apply it in our lives, as much of the advice being showered upon us does not meet Islamic values. Thus, bridging this gap between the modern discourse on psychology and Islamic principles has become the urgent need of the hour.
This is where ‘Islam & Psychology Fortnightly’ comes in!
The integration of Islamic values with contemporary psychology practices makes Solace unique in this field. With this exclusively curated fortnightly webinar series, you can deepen your understanding of key psychological issues and concerns, and learn how these can be navigated on a day-to-day basis without compromising your religious values.
Share this initiative with anyone who would benefit from such discussions, and help spread the vision of Solace to every corner of the globe.
