Description

Do you feel like you are losing a silent battle with yourself? For many, the struggle with addiction – alcohol, other substances, gambling – feels like a lonely journey, made harder by the fear of being judged. You may wonder if it is possible to be a good Muslim while struggling with your nafs (self).

Hope for the Muslim Alcoholic is a practical tool designed to show you that there is a way out. By framing the traditional Twelve Step program from an Islamic perspective, author Yunus P provides a clear framework for healing. Instead of viewing addiction as a simple lack of willpower, this book treats it as a struggle of the nafs that requires a structured, spiritual response.

This 88-page book covers each of the Twelve Steps to recovery and offers plenty of food for thought, so you can move towards an addiction-free life with confidence.
