Depression and Mental Health In Islam | Nouman Ali Khan

Struggling with depression is tough, and one of the worst things you can do is suffer in silence. However, it's important to share your struggles the right way. Often, people fall into the habit of seeking advice from everyone around them without actually taking meaningful steps to get better. Collecting advice from friends or turning to social media for comfort through memes isn't the solution.
Depression is a serious condition that requires a balanced approach. Islam provides spiritual and emotional guidance for overcoming challenges, but it also encourages seeking professional help when needed. Even the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who was the best of mankind, sought counseling when facing personal difficulties. This highlights the importance of getting outside help-it's a Sunnah.
Our needs as human beings are interconnected: physical, spiritual, and emotional. When one of these needs is neglected, it impacts the others. Depression isn't just about feeling sad-it's a complex emotional issue that can’t simply be reduced to a lack of faith. Even those closest to Allah, like the Prophets, experienced deep sadness.
We need to be emotionally sensitive when giving advice. Telling someone that their sadness is a sign of weak faith can hurt them more. Sometimes, the best support we can offer is a compassionate ear and guiding them toward the right help. Remember, seeking professional counsel or therapy is not a sign of weakness-it’s a practical step toward healing.#islamicvideo #islamicmotivation #islamiclectures #depression

I don't know what to do. I pray this to Allah every day so that Allah saves me from this problem. I tried to tell my mother but she thought it’s not a big deal because the reason behind this issue are my parents family members and some outsiders. From how many years everything has been stuck inside. I want to cry my heart out.but i can't. It really hurts. Still they give me the same pain.

I have never gotten an emotional support from my family. I’ve always felt that I’m not a part of the family. I say this because of the way they have treated me. My mother has always said that my middle sister is her favorite and the way they ignore me when I try to say something. I cry about this all the time and they know how I feel and they don’t care. When there’s an argument and my little sister start yelling at my mom. I’m not allowed to speak or say anything but my middle sister can say what she wants. My mom has always told me that I’m a failure and that I won’t amount to anything and has always insulted me in front of my older son. As for my father he has always made it clear that he hates me. So I have lived with depression and trauma from being abused by men. And my mother had always told me that all the bad things that happened in my life like the abuse was a punishment from Allah and that I was going to hell. So I lived my life rebelling and believe that my life was doomed and that I deserved everything that was happening to me and that god hated me and that I was going to hell no matter what. Right now I came to visit them for the summer and it has been so hard especially the fact that my middle speaks to me like I’m not even there! And that my mom and her are always together and are always sitting together talking. And when I try to sit with them and try to talk they talk over me and start talking to each other. I just keep to myself.

Sorry to hear what you’re going through. Remember that your worth is not defined by how others treat you, but by how Allah views you. Sometimes, the trials we face are opportunities to grow closer to Allah and to find strength in our faith.

[@PyaraDoraemon-f3x]

For the past two years, I have been experiencing anxiety and panic attacks. I consulted many Muslim doctors, but instead of listening to and understanding my problem, they criticized me. They think I am oversensitive and should quietly endure everything with patience. My family, relatives, and friends have subjected me to a lot of emotional and mental abuse. They demean me and say hurtful things. I have also faced sexual assault and molestation multiple times. However, religious Muslims and Muslim doctors claim that my faith (iman) is weak and that I am a bad Muslim. They believe I don’t trust Allah enough. Some even suggested that I should stop praying (namaz). I acknowledge that I made a mistake by attempting suicide due to depression, but I have sincerely repented (tawba) many times. I can no longer bear this pain. Everyone thinks I am a bad Muslim and that I should leave Islam, even though I am a religious and practicing Muslim. This constant suffering makes me feel like giving up on life. If anyone can help me, please do, because all of this is pushing me toward wanting to end my life.

[@emiragashi8973]

You're not alone. I can relate with the aspect of having no one to turn to. I believe people should have more empathy towards those who are suffering mental illnesses. Especially the muslim community. They need that support and help. You have to remember that this is a test from Allah and that Allah tests those he loves. He sees what youre doing through. He knows youre suffering. And none of it will go unheard. Theres not even the pain of the prick of a needle that u don't get rewarded for.Just keep praying and making duah. Never give up. Id suggest you to talk to a mental health psychologist who is an actual expert and will give you an actual plan on how to deal with ur mental health. I pray that Allah makes it easy for you, and I pray that you and everyone who is suffering like you will enter Jannah eternally.

[@najahfits9619]

If you are depressed - 1. Pray and ask Allah to assist you through it. 2. Figure out where your depression is coming from. 3. Change your way of thinking to positive. Don’t lie to yourself! 4. See what changes you can make and change them. For example, your environment, your friends, your job, and or your career. 5. If it something you cannot change, adapt to what has cause you stress. Not physical or verbal abuse! 6. Do something positive that will challenge to make some improvements in your life. 7. Improve your diet and sleep habits. 8. STOP comparing yourself to others. 9. STOP attention seeking 10. STOP people pleasing 11. Google all the words you don’t understand so you can begin the healing process while you find a therapist.
