Masha'Allah. That mental illness can be only cured
spiritually,
and the reason that this is problematic is
because it absolutely
reinforces
a stigma
of
you can only do this through iman, you
can only do this through dua, through salah,
and that just isn't the case.
All of these things must happen,
but also we must take care of ourselves
and all the other ways that Allah has
allowed for us to take care of ourselves,
which
modern medicine is part of that. People who
are trained professionals to learn with a listening
ear that knows how to help give you
techniques and advice
is part of that. Friends and family and
support is part of that. When people say,
I can do this all alone,
alone,
this is where the shaitan starts to come
in and mess with them and say, you're
strong enough. You can do this by yourself.
You don't need them, but
we do need them.
And I'll give you an example
of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. I
always start there.
If the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
was meant to deliver the message of Islam
in a silo,
then
Allah would simply have just given him the
message,
given him the wahi,
allowed for the revelation to come and for
him to say these are the words of
the Quran.
But he embedded the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam in a
community
to have sahaba,
men and women,
who
were going to do things sometimes that weren't
the best,
so the prophet could enjoin the good and
forbid the evil,
and also do things that were excellent so
that he could say good job.
Like the earlier story of Salman Faresi and
Abi Darda where he said Salman has spoken
the truth
and a sense of community of people who
are going to help each other and pick
another.
another.
