🏵️🏵️ Susan, your exploration of unexpressed emotions is vital for personal healing and growth. In Islam, we are encouraged to express our feelings and communicate openly, as the Qur'an states, "And He will remove from them their misdeeds, and will reward them according to the best of what they used to do" (Qur'an 25:70). The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emphasized the importance of emotional well-being, saying, "The strong person is not the one who overcomes others, but the one who overcomes himself when he is angry" (Sahih Bukhari).

Your insights urge us not to silence our emotions but to embrace and express them in healthy ways. Susan, thank you for sharing your profound reflections; they serve as a reminder to us all. How might we encourage others to voice their feelings and heal through connection? With warmth and understanding, 🌺🌹, Mohamed, Ph.D
