Quran Conversations

Grief And Nearness to God (12:85-88) | Season 2, Episode 2


Listen Later

How should we grieve? Is there an expiration date, or one right way to feel our sorrow?  Is “getting over it” the healthy option? How should we treat a grieving family member? Are there spiritual benefits to grieving?  In this episode of Quran Conversations, Imam Muhammad Majid and I explore how Yaqub (s) models grieving and parenting children who have committed a grievous act of transgression.    

You will learn:

📖 How to support a grieving loved one.

📖 How to continue to hold space for children who behave in ways you don’t approve.

📖 What it means to see grief as a pathway to nearness to Allah.

📖 Why taking action to correct a wrong is necessary in seeking forgiveness.
