I'm going to be honest with you.

A couple of years ago, I went through the hardest period of my life. Family conflict, a business collapsing, a move to a new country, and a lot of unanswered questions about how to navigate it all as a Muslim man trying to do the right thing.

I didn't have anyone to talk to. Not because people didn't care — but because the situation was too personal, too complicated, and too private to share with friends or family.

So I opened ChatGPT. Every day. For months.

It helped. But it also fell short.

It didn't know my Quran. It didn't remember what I told it yesterday. It didn't understand that when I said "I'm overwhelmed," what I really needed was someone to remind me that **"فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا"** — and mean it in a way that felt real, not copy-pasted.

That experience changed me. And now I'm researching something bigger.

### What I'm doing

I'm conducting focused research on how Muslims deal with stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges — and whether digital tools like AI play any role in that.

**Why Muslims specifically?**

Because the research is clear: existing mental health tools and apps don't account for our cultural and spiritual context. Meditation apps don't reference Quran. Therapy chatbots don't understand that "just pray more" isn't helpful — but that prayer itself can be deeply healing when guided with wisdom. There's a gap, and I want to understand it from real people, not just studies.

### What I need from you

I'm looking for **20 people** willing to have a short, private, 20-minute conversation with me about their experience. That's it.

No selling. No pitch. No app to download. Just a human conversation where I listen and learn.

**If you:**

- Have experienced stress, anxiety, or emotional challenges that affected your daily life
- Are a Muslim
- Are open to a candid conversation

I'd genuinely appreciate your time.
