Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Islam

Developed by Muslim psychologists specialising in chronic pain, the book introduces the Islamic Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (IACT) model, a faith-sensitive adaptation of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to align with Islamic faith and values.

Drawing on teachings from the Qur’an and Sunnah, the book encourages acceptance, resilience, and a deeper connection with faith. Through practical step-by-step exercises, spiritual reflection and contemplation readers are supported to develop psychological flexibility and live well with chronic pain.

This unique resource bridges the gap between evidence-based psychological therapy and faith-sensitive care, offering a holistic approach to wellbeing. It empowers individuals to reconnect with their core values, find meaning, purpose, and hope, supporting a rich and fulfilling life even in the presence of ongoing pain.
