Method
Founder of Dar al-Shifaa, Dr. Abdallah Rothman’s work is an exploration of healing through the Islamic understanding of the human being. Drawing on the science of the soul, spiritual practice, and contemporary psychology, he has developed an approach that sees healing not simply as the easing of symptoms, but as a movement toward greater wholeness, balance, and connection.
"Healing is not about fixing what is broken, but nurturing what wants to grow."

Relational Healing Ms In Clinical Mental Health CounselingAt Dar al-Shifaa, we understand healing as more than the absence of illness. It is a process of returning to wholeness, cultivating balance, and coming into a deeper relationship with ourselves, with others, and with our Creator.
The human being is more than body and mind. We are an integrated whole of body, soul, heart, intellect, and spirit.
Living in alignment with our fitrah invites us back to a more natural state of balance, helping us reconnect with ourselves and the world around us.
Difficulties are part of the human journey and, when met with reflection and support, can become opportunities for deeper understanding and growth.
Healing is not a final destination, but an ongoing journey of returning to what is most essential within us and growing toward greater balance and wholeness.
Mercy guides the way we understand healing, holding ourselves and others with compassion, patience, and care throughout the journey.
A community of people brought together by a shared desire to learn, heal, grow, and live with greater connection. Whether you are just beginning or have been on this path for some time, there is a place for you here.
