Islam and Neurodivergency

A Compassionate Exploration Through the Lens of Faith

By: Muhammad Abdelwahid

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What does Islam truly say about neurodivergence? How can neurodivergent Muslims—and their families—find spiritual empowerment, community inclusion, and divine connection within the framework of their faith?

Islam and Neurodivergency: A Compassionate Exploration Through the Lens of Faith offers a groundbreaking and heartfelt journey into the intersection of Islam and neurological diversity. From autism and ADHD to learning differences and sensory processing challenges, this book affirms what many have long felt but rarely heard: you are not broken, and your place in the Ummah is divinely ordained.

Drawing from the Qur’an, authentic Hadith, classical Islamic scholarship, and modern psychological insight, this book explores:

• How the Prophet ﷺ embraced and uplifted individuals with differing abilities

• The theology of accountability, sin, and mercy for neurodivergent Muslims

• Creating inclusive masjids, schools, and communities

• Empowering caregivers with spiritual and practical tools

• Worship, connection, and mental health through a neurodivergent lens

Whether you are a neurodivergent Muslim, a parent, a caregiver, an educator, or a community leader, this book will open your heart and mind to the beauty of difference—and the mercy of a religion that welcomes every soul.

You are not alone. You are not an exception. You are part of Allah’s perfect creation.
