Lecture 10: Communication in Families Part 2 Mindful Speaking

The Power of Mindful Speech How we speak to our family members can either build them up or tear them down. In this lecture, we explore why mindful communication rooted in Qur'an and Sunnah is one of the most powerful tools for a healthy home. 📌 In this lecture: • The Qur'anic image of a "good word" as a tree with deep roots (Surah Ibrahim) — and why negative speech uproots that stability • The "THINK" filter: pausing before you speak to check if your words are helpful, inspiring, necessary, and kind • Why triangulation and vague, passive-aggressive messages damage families — and how to speak directly and honestly using "I" statements • Fighting the negativity bias by making gratitude specific and consistent, so we don't fall into hedonic adaptation 🎙️ Speaker: Marzia Hassan 📅 Lecture 10 in the Building Strong Muslim Families in Changing Times series 💬 Which of these: the THINK filter, speaking directly instead of about someone, or specific gratitude is hardest for you to practice at home?
