Abstract
ISLAM is the second-largest religion in the world and the third-largest religion practiced in the United States (Pew, 2015). Significant research demonstrates that Muslims tend to be more reluctant to seek mental health treatment for their psychological distress relative to other groups (Sheikh & Furnham, 2000; Pilkington, Msetfi, & Watson, 2012). Among the barriers adversely impacting help-seeking behaviors among Muslims are concerns around religious, spiritual, and cultural sensitivities (Inayat, 2007; Aloud & Rathur, 2009).
