"Everyone will have something to gain from this course, whether or not you struggle with anxiety. This course gives you the knowledge and tools needed to help you understand signs and symptoms of anxiety, why it happens, how to make sense of it from a holistic perspective, and real practical tips and practices that anyone can do to better manage anxious thoughts. But what really separates this course from others is how Dr. Marwa connects mental and emotional concepts back to Allah swt, and allows you to deepen your relationship and closeness to Allah as you understand how everything you’re experiencing is a means back to Him. If you’re looking for a way to feel closer to Allah and gain a greater depth of understanding of yourself, look no further. If you’re looking to know what having real tawakkul (trust in Allah) looks like in your specific life with your specific circumstances, look no further. If you’re looking for a path to let go of the debilitating need to control what happens in the future, look no further. The exercises that accompany the lessons encourages you gently but effectively to apply what you learn to your personal lives and situations. It’s a very self-reflective journey, but executed in a way that guides students through new knowledge of themselves and of Allah in an organized way. For someone who typically gets exhausted running mental marathons over future unknown situations, it was a refreshing experience taking this course. I highly recommend it!"

"I would urge any Muslim who has been struggling with anxieties or an anxiety disorder to do this course to learn about this (anxiety). The solutions provided in the course are unique and awesome. (My favorite part of this course was) the way that Dr. Marwa Assar showed me how CBT and Mindfulness can be done in an Islamic way through the various methods provided to us like Dhikr (remembering God), Du'as (supplications), Names and Attributes of God, Muraqabah, and Salah(Prayer). Having struggled with an anxiety disorder for the past nine years now (after giving birth to my daughter), I tried a lot of treatments including CBT, Yoga, Transcendental Meditation (did not know that this was an Islamic that time), Mindfulness, use of self-help books, psychologist and psychiatrist consultations and so on but TO NO AVAIL. When I enrolled for the GOD & ME Program by Dr. Marwa Assar in 2019, I started to see light at the end of the tunnel finally. After two consultations online with Dr. Marwa, I was starting to connect to myself and God again. I am grateful to Dr. Marwa Assar who gave me the opportunity to take her online anxiety & piety course in 2019. I realized that I was dealing with this mental issue the wrong way. I was amazed every time I completed a module in the course. I was finally with a concrete solution to deal with this problem once and for all. I thank you Dr. Marwa Assar and may Allah (SWT) reward you for your work insha' Allah. Jazak Allahu Khayran.
