Title: Pursuit of Pleasures: The alignment of Neuroscience and Islamic Ethics

Synopsis: Modern day neuroscience is unlocking secrets about what takes place during sleep, the impact of social media and the importance of going through difficulty and pain before obtaining pleasure. In this week's Pathway to Peace show we reflect on how Islamic teachings from 1,500 years ago are already perfectly aligned to the latest findings. We will explore how practices such as the daily prayers and fasting in Ramadhan play strongly to what medical experts today are recommending for optimum mental health.
