The Middle Path I share about is how I strive to live, even on high-stakes stages

I was asked to moderate a Davos session about mental health in 2020. I opened with a spiritual moment by asking a room of global leaders to pause and breathe. Leadership doesn't mean doing more. It means having enough Tawakkul to practice our beliefs, even when there is a real risk that things might not go well.

Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) said:

“The best of people are those of this Middle Path. The one lagging behind catches up to them, and the one who overexerts returns to them.”

عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: «خَيْرُ النَّاسِ هَذَا النَّمَطُ الْأَوْسَطُ، يَلْحَقُ بِهِمِ التَّالِي، وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمِ الْغَالِي»

Fatima Azzahra El Azzouzi

Fatima Azzahra's story

Allah brought my fatigued Nafs from the extremes to the Middle Path.

Allah gifted me a middle way of working and leading that I could not have built alone. I don't take it for granted. I monitor it closely. This change came after I burned out repeatedly under the pressure of technical IT roles. The secular solutions I tried didn't reach the root (the Overworking Nafs). Islamic Psychology did.
