Resources/Mental Diet
“The things you think about determine the quality of your mind,”
This page is intended to be a growing list of resources that I have learned and benefitted from. Followers of this project will note that “Mental Diet” i.e the information we consume is an oft-cited reference here. In Islam, we are taught about the importance of the company we keep. Why? Because the company we keep ultimately influences our thoughts, impulses, identity, and actions. Considering that a large part of our “company” is now online, the same principle applies. For those interested, you can refer to my video: Your (Mental) Diet | How It Affects Your Islam
