Making Meaning (Taha 40-41) | Season 3, Episode 12
Making MeaningTaHa 40-41David Eagleman, in his book “Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain,” wrote, “Instead of reality being passively recorded by the brain, it is actively constructed by it.” This construction is our meaning-making ability. The meaning we give events change the way we respond to them, how we feel about our lives and those around us. In this episode we discuss how Allah is reframing the events of Musa’s life from what could be seen as a litany of tragedies to a series of training experiences under his Lord’s loving eye.You will learn: 📖 Linguistic Insights into understanding the different types of grief📖 How to cope with emotional distress: 📖 The weight of sin and how to let go of shame.📖 Understanding Qadr: The Divine Measurement📖 The role of exile in personal growth📖 How interpreting life events impacts our mental health---If you’re enjoying this podcast, please review it on your podcasting platform.
