What happens when a religious Muslim opens up about depression, despite being a Hafith of the Quran and a religious leader?
An excerpt on our latest podcast about Mental health with Ziyad Serhan, an accredited Mental Health educator and co-founder of Educaid Au.
Parents now a days don't understand depression, thank you for making this video.
Yup you're right..
It's not their fault tho. With all these social media and super fast changing society. Tell if I am wrong. But theres too much negatively and social issues caused by social media and internet usage.
@@shamirarshad1867 well it depends what you search
@@Mustafa-ly8vk you are right but it's almost impossible to not come across something that wouldn't offend someone. I believe meditating and peace through namaz is a great way to handle negatively and harm.
@@Mustafa-ly8vk I do agree with your point. Today's society has changed so much just in the last 30 years it's horrifying in some ways.
Islam took me out of depression when nothing couldn't. It only took 1 month while I tried everything and I was suffering for 5 years.
Where are you from ?
May Allah keep u happy 😃 Ameen
@@arzoo9221 what do you mean ?
@@arzoo9221 talking to people who have had it a lot worse than I in life is one of the things I have done.
I had clinical depression and then I started to practice Islam. I made dua for Allah to guide me to heal myself and I was guided to go to therapy.. Alhamdulillah I feel much better
I pray regularly and listen to the quran frequently and i still get depressed sometimes, But i know Allah tests those who he loves. I know this is a test and He is with me. It may be hard sometimes but i need to keep firm for He is always watching
I'm with you my brother assalaamu aleykum WA rahmatullah at least we are aware that this world can't give us happiness, only our creator can.
And that's a blessing if you think about it.
Most do suicide..
Thnk u for boosting my iman may Allah Al Wahid bless u
It's up to us to seak treatment while making dua to Allah. We tie our camel while putting trust in Allah. Most if us were wrongly disciplined by out parents because they need healing from their own trauma pain. Because iyf that emotional pain they have alot of resentment and hate inside. When children misbehave which every child will, the parents take out their frustrations yin their children to feel better, then later they come to them asking for forgiveness. Yelling and hitting the children, that is not called discipline, it's called abuse. And Allah doesn't like anyone abusing anyone. Before anyone gets married they should seek psychotherapy and heal from their traumas especially the childhood one which we all have but deny.
so many people in in islam, and christianity love to do all the research they can to prove that their religion is the correct one. I think its good that yall search and study from the teachings of man and from the internet and from scholars and from the quran and bible its self. I have nothing against any of that. But we all have to ask ourselves, How do I know 100% that I am following the one true God and that my religion is correct? Well the only way to know is to stop trusting in yourself and in man to find answers, the only true answer can come from God himself, and the only way to talk to God is through prayer. And I am not talking about reciting and repeating verses or prayers or lines of the quran or bible over and over. I am talking about actually talking to God, asking him to reveal himself to you, asking him to show you the truth and lead you to it, and asking him to show you who he truly is. And I am talking about really praying, seeking him the most you can, an hour a day, an hour and a half a day, even 2 hours a day, in deep deep prayer. God wil answer you and he knows the intentions of everyones hearts, so you really need to mean it when you pray to God. Only then unitil you truly put your faith in God and pray to him all you can without giving up, is when he will provide you the truth and really lead you to him, you will never ever find the truth or know the truth or know Him who created you if you dont pray to him and actually truly seek him. I am not saying you dont pray, but just a heads up. Only God can show you who he is, doing good things, doing nice things to others, doing good works and deeds will never ever please God until you put your faith in him and seek him everyday. Only then will you know the truth :)
Assalamualaikum! Just wanted to check on you,how are you doing
As some one who has experienced mental health trauma due to my childhood has found peace in Islam away from those who caused my difficulties. I would advise anyone keeping asking Allah for peace he is the giver of it and never give up..amen. Allah never breaks his promise you will get to a better place ...in sha Allah
Beautiful reminder sis
Mike Lowrey BB thank you for your kind words
Rana Saleh thank you xx
Beautiful reminder
And don't forget, REACH OUT!
Every illness has a cure and also by reaching out, it'll be a first step towards healing your trauma. If you can't reach out to your family, then go to ANYONE you fully trust, someone that'll actually hear your plea and even help you through your hard times. Many of our brethren out there have a family that doesn't even know about mental health issues and tends to call it a taboo, even in my country they call it a sign of iman deficiency and he/she needs to do prayers more or even the worst case, they'll call them ungrateful to Allah and started to belittle them
I have had the same childhood .... And I can't cope with people ... I grew up with social anxiety ... Have no self esteem .... It was so bad these random thoughts of suicide would come there for years .... Only reason is didn't do that was i did not want to die doing a thing that ALLAH disliked... I don't have those extreme thoughts now .... But i have developed a strong fear of meeting with people or joining conversations in person .... Pray for me
May Allah help you through these journey and ease this test and trial on you. Aameen sum Aameen.
We can overcome this in shaa Allah.
@@Syed_12 wow wonderful answer, and lovely that people want to help.
Can I amend a thing or two.
Cry, cry cry if you need to. The prophet (saw) cried, but he said the eye weeps, but the heart does not complain, or something similar.
Don't go on technology as a means of reducing symptoms if you don't even know that you are affected by electromagnetic fields, grounding, putting your bare feet on earth or grass can help.
Breath clean air deeply, eat and drink clean pure fresh food, I would avoid meat, some sensitivity people are affected by the fear the animal felt when it was slaughtered and you ingest that anxiety etc. Truly animals should be kept mercifully and slaughtered mercifully and away from other animals, given water to drink and calmed before it dies.
Explore anger, like an infant child, say oh, I am angry, I feel it... what makes me like that, am I feeling alone lost unloved, I'm curious, why...etc
Find a good therapist who will work with you and show you how to do these things, and so much more. The commenter above has said it all as well.
May Allah assist you and protect you. Amen
May Allah give you the Sabr and help you
Spirituality is often confused with mental health among Muslims and that needs to change
Absolutely
How is that?
Also spirituality is something that can cure mental health issues and to apply the knowledge and understand Spiritualism requires great wisdom. Its really a true work of art.
Both are actually the same
I have been go through deep dipression and still struggling from life just wanna sleep forever I'm tired mentally not interested in any thing this dunya I feel like everything gives me anxiety during depression I came close to Allah just pray for me :)
Inshalah you will be ok. There is nothing that last forever, happiness or sadness.
Look this is definitely a hard time but remember Allah has created for so many reasons and he knows all your suffer and all what u think
But you should know that if Allah knows you are not able to solve this problem he won't let u face it and there Is a lesson behind all your suffer that Allah wants u to learn and it will help you achieving the reasons u was created for + Allah wants to hear u and test u
So please don't give up cuz after a few years you will thank your self for not giving up since you will be living a happy life and achieving your goals that Allah has created you for
Just don't do anything that makes u feel bad about yourself and be patient and try to change your perspective towards the things into a more positive way and please don't give up
I won't say it is easy but as I said Allah knows you are capable
Trust me
And believe that Allah wants the BEST for u
Bye bye Islam, solution for Muslim depression th-cam.com/video/9xVAglsu-Kg/w-d-xo.html
Do surah rahman therapy
same
It's so incredible how our parents can ruin our life
And than take no responsibility and act like none of it happened.
and then "it's your choice" bruh 😭
Let it be a remind for us to be a good parents to our kids 💔❤️
Real.
but the fact that the struggles you have even with your own family is a test itself, every hardship (no matter the size or situation) is taken into consideration by Allah, Your reward is with Him.
also, even tho its hard to remember, parents and teachers are also human, they had their own problems which led them to be this way; it doesnt excuse what they did was wrong tho but you trying to empathise is always rewarding and helps with patience.
Sa’id ibn Abi Waqqas reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, *which people are tested most severely?* ” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, *“They are the prophets, then the next best, then the next best. A man is put to trial according to his religion. If he is firm in his religion, his trials will be more severe. If he is weak in his religion, he is put to trial according to his strength in religion. The servant will continue to be put to trial until he is left walking upon the earth without any sin.”*

Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani
I was in a point where my depression starts shaking my faith to Allah despite I recite the same ayat as he recite (wa lanabluwannakum ...) during my prayers. May Allah guide me.
What are those ayat please?
@@user-mz8ky9pk6m وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنْفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ * الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ * أُولَئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ )
Don’t write Quran in English it’s not permissible!.
Subhanallah, I suffered a mature depression back in 2017 and gone through a severe pain . Alhamdulillah I got better but again I suffered second episode but at least I can manage control my anxiety. Please pray for me Insha’allah.
Assalamalaikum how long did u suffer depression for?
how are you doing now?
Honestly, social media is a major cause for of our depression
..but nobody can deny the fact the some parents are absolutely toxic and can cause you to be depressed
Agree
The cause of my depression is 24/7 pain in my back and not being able to have good sleep at all. it's not social media.
This is true there are parents who could be very toxic. Then it is better to leave them and not beeing afraid of loneliness cause Allah will bless everyone who left a terrible and toxic family with connections to good believers.May Allah rescue all oppressed humans who have a good heart.Amin
@@semichasemicha1078 so true i do believe in this and despite having toxic families Allah has replaced them with believers who have beautiful hearts and they are the coolness of my eyes
@@semichasemicha1078how can you leave your mom is she’s toxic? Wouldn’t that be haram if you put her through that stress? Wouldn’t it be better to suffer through it for seeking Allah Subahanahu Wa Ta Ala’s pleasure and to avoid His punishment?
I grew up in an alcoholic and abusive home my two sisters committed suicide because of alcoholic husbands even I contemplated suicide but alhamdulillah for Islam I am now coping
I am so sorry. May Allah make it easy for you and reward you for your patience.
Assalaamu'Alaikum. This is a very special zikr for your issues. Hasbunallahu wa n'imal wakeel. This will help you guaranteed Insha'Allah.
May Allah bless you and honour you my brother in Islam ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾. Allahhuma Aameen. Indeed, after hardship is ease. Subhan’Allah
Slm, provide me with more information regarding how to come out of depression. What should be adopted differently in lifestyle
Embrace Quran and dua with Allah frequently
I feel our body and mind weren't designed for modern lifestyle Allah knows the best
agreed :(((
@@maingrbr yeah. Islam will rise again. Try to endure until we die. Our beloved Prophet SAW predicted it 1400 years ago.
@Nasser K
It is also a problem now days we get everything adulterated .
Agreed 👍🏻
The Quran is so powerful. 3-4 years ago, I was divorced and not a really good Muslim. Once in a while I would go to Jumaa prayer, I would stand in congregation and as the Imam recites, Tears would just roll down. It was crazy because, I would never cry outside the masjid. Fast forward to now and I am in such a better place. Alhamdulilah, Allah knows best and He knows what’s best for you. My suggestion for any young person struggling with anxiety or depression is to Read. Read the Quran, read self help book about the human mind, the world around you, about finance, about politics. The more you read, the more you learn, the less anxious you get. The less depressed you will be. Remember the first words revealed to Prophet Mohammed PBUH “read.. read.. in the name of your lord, and your lord most merciful. Who teaches by the pen.. Teaches man what he knows not.”
Great advise jazakallah khairun
"Even when time is get tough, When there is a struggle, You know Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala is there"
3 years ago I remember the time I went through on my own. I was very ill. But unfortunately my illness was invisible. I was suffering everyday. I’ve been suffering with illnesses all my life but its all invisible so no one knows. I would come back home from school, sleep for a while and head to the hospital. Then spend hours there. This went on for so long I cant even remember. The next morning I would go to school with a different personality, acting like all was okay with me but it was so suffocating to see everyone healthy and happy and cheerful and full of energy and then there’s you.. suffering internally. When I looked at the comments I realized I was never alone. All of us have our part of suffering. Those times drained the energy out of me and continue to do so. I feel helpless most days but I know Allah is merciful. Even if we don’t see the fruits of our sufferings in this life, I just want everyone here to know that things will be way better in the hereafter In Sha Allah. I make dua to Allah to heal our hearts and grant us patience to go through that which we are bound to be tested with. Stay strong everyone and hold on. ❤️
Ria Fitsi
:-
most days but I know Allah is merciful. ....."
But Have You Ever Asked Yourself That Why *Merciful* Allah Made You Suffer So Much ?
srnp0007 so that we as human beings don’t take things for granted and appreciate the blessings in life. Had I not gone through this ordeal, I would have never realized the importance of being in good health and in peace. Every pain has a lesson to teach you 😊
@SNIPER SNIPER indeed.. JazakAllah khair
Please keep me in your duas.
@@srnp0007 you fool only Muslims go through depression or anxiety and non Muslims don't..? Everyone has to fight their own demons and for these kind of issues only Islam can bring peace for them Islam is the only cure for spiritual illness

I can totally relate to this, sometimes I wish I didn’t have to face another day, but I can’t go until my time arrives to go 😪
stay strong bro everybody have some problems in life enjoy life
Exactly my situation. Only living because of Allah s.w.t.
Not being ungrateful, but I basically don't enjoy life anymore. I am grateful that my situation isn't as bad as some people have it. But man, day in and day out I feel like absolute wreck. I am grateful, Alhamdulilah, but I simply cannot make myself happy no matter what happens.
To who ever is reading this:
Hey there, remember Allah is with you and you matter in this world because He (swt) gave you a purpose. He is keeping you alive because He knows you have potential and can do more. Allah swt is extremely Merciful to us and He just wants to find any reason to forgive us. There is a beautiful hadith that kinda goes like this "If a servant of Allah takes a step towards Allah, Allah takes two steps towards them, and if a servant of Allah walks to Him, Allah goes to them running (metaphorically)".
You can do this!
💖Indeed. SubhanAllah

@@user-ow2zg6cl9q and then great rewards if im patient
I do have to say my confidence has been shaken since I was a kid because my dad would point out anything wrong I did. Not just that but other events have made me always self aware and feel as if I can’t do certain things because I’ll do it wrong then get scolded or it’ll be pointed out. Unfortunately a lot of parents don’t understand that and it does psychologically affect a child even in their future.

@harisssahab- same my father did this also I now have no confidence and zero self esteem. He was so controlling that it has ruined my life ! I'm anxious to do anything, my life ruined
I get sad sometimes, but everytime I turn back to Allah s.w.t i feel some type of burden taken off my back. Allahu Akbar 🤲🏾❤
"Certainly with hardship goes comfort." ~ [ Al-Quran 94:6] As long as we muslims have faith in Allah and trust Him during difficulties we won't feel depressed or worthless. Inshallah.
Depression is nothing but a chance to get back to alllah(swt)
I was very close to Allah but with depression I can only stick to the fard. Depression kills all motivation
Depression is an illness,there are many types of depression. It is worst than Cancer. Physical illness can be seen,can get help and support from family and friend. A Depressed person may look normal outside but inside he is living in hell. It's torture
I got you bruh I am feeling the same now
Bruh i search on youtube how to fix it, with quran but i could fix it it just wont get out depresion its just hell. Sorry for my English
@@M3DTauqeerKhan Nah bro, don't tell yourself that or it may become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I've lived through it. There's definitely a way out. The essence of tawaqqul, trusting Allah, is that He is Sufficient and He will definitely make a way out. This is how you prove yourself as a soldier of God's Army. Not easy, but will be worth it no doubt.
Don't give up. Keep seeking answers, seek help, set goals, do the right thing, give up the wrong lil by lil, and FIND your life purpose.
You got this. bizniAllah.
Agree
You shouldn’t be comparing illnesses Astaghfirullah, for some it may be more lenient and for others not so much. Either way physical illness affects the mental they both compliment each other, do you seriously think a physically challenged person would be smiling?! 0:07
Depression is very serious and needs to be addressed and anyone who has needs to seek treatment.
Subhanallah I went to school with this bloke. Mashalla he is a gentleman Ziyad. May Allah bless him
Depression is a serious illness
I'm religious. I'm a convert to Islam since July 26, 2010
Some of my depression comes from being cut off by my family after my mom past away in 2016 They showed their true colors.
I'm American and I am treated like a foreigner in Mosques in USA. I have 2 apartments overseas in North Africa and Middle East and I am treated like a brother. Sadly I had to leave my country & go 7,000 miles away to be accepted.
Also my depression comes from chronic & acute pain by having 20 plus surgeries, replaced ankles and knee etc etc etc.. I'm only 41.
Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah for everything. My depression comes & goes but it is an illness that I well do my best to overcome Insha'Allah
May Allah grant you cure
Subhanallah this video really gave me relief. As a practising Muslim, I frequently find myself in depressed and distressed situations nowadays, and I am so concerned about my deen and always think like "Is this depression about my faith, am I a bad Muslim?" But now i will try not to judge myself in that ways, jazakallah brothers!
Do you know that our prophet Muhammad SAaws faced the same issue? When he experienced revelation for the first time, he started thinking he is a bad person and assumed Allah was unhappy. Khadija reassured him that it’s the opposite!
And again when surat duha was revealed after a long break from revelation. Our prophet assumed Allah was angry at him. These are pits where shaitan gets in our head to deceive us of the EXACT opposite of truth to push us off the cliff
No matter how much you go for finding the peace in the entire world but the real peace you find is only in the holy quran❤️❤️❤️
Anyone who loves to listen the holy quran can come

I just said i wanted to die to my mom 3 days ago but then she said my iman is weak..my heart broke so much that i haven't talk to my family since that.i'm trying to reach help but they destroyed it
Same here ......this is really hard
But remembering this made me feel much better (first forgive them and what they said does not mean this is your reality.....they misunderstood you cuz they just haven't suffered with depression, it is this simple okay ) :
"_This is definitely a hard problem and if Allah knows you can't solve it he will not let u face it
_i still remember myself thinking about suicide and giving up but meanwhile Allah all what he wanted me is to learn something from all this suffer and to test me ...like do u think Allah doesn't know what you are feeling right now ? Do u really think Allah doesn't love u ?
_ Allah created u for an important reasons and some of them is really good for the world and maybe Allah wanted u to learn something from this suffer that will help achieving your goals
It is just like this but the problem is when we give up
So please be patient and try your best to solve this problem cuz after a few years u will definitely thank your self for not giving up since you will be achieving your dreams and living happily inshallah ⭐💕
I know I have talked a lot but I hope I was able to help u💕
And thinking like that really helped me btw
@@ahumanbeing6609 thank u so much for your words❤this helped me feel a lil bit better may Allah bless u💫
@@handmadecoogie you are always welcomed 😁💕💕💕
Stay strong
And remember Allah always wants the best for you
I can't give much of an advice. I just want to say that i can feel your pain. May Allah gives you health and cure whatever it is inside of you.
Asalamu alaikum just wanna say something about depreasion you know when i was depressed and sad one thing hit me hard indeed allah wont burden a soul more than it can and indeed he will test us and there is ease anfter hardship and mostly he knows what we dont know.
SubhanAllah, Thank you very much for mentioning this topic. Not many religious channels mention it and my question is- How can we overcome depression/ anxiety in Islam? What are the solutions?
" O you who have believed seek help through patience and prayer . Indeed Allah is with the patient", 2:153
Have sabr and perform salah (in addition of 5 times prayer, perform salah taubah, tahajud, hajat (prayer of need), in sya Allah ,Allah will guide those who asks His help.

Been depressed most of the day but I did some dhikr and I feel a little better now. Alhamdullilah. Just make dhikr. May Allah Subahanahu Wa Ta Ala help the ummah.
Very much needed to hear this!
These kind of podcast topics relating to specifically ''Mental Health'', Depression are crucial in today's society, i hope OnePath Network will continue to discuss this in more detail, in sha Allah!
Looking forward to it, so we all can benefit, JazakAllahu Khayran
Thank you onepath foe everything that u doing our people may Allah bless you and reward you all
The special moment when iman enters your heart. Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan at Al madratul Al ummariyya.
I would like to say 1 thing, on my own experience which I'm facing right now! So I got depressed few months back, It got severe I had no one to share things, things going around me worsened it, then After a point I stopped believing in Allah, I lost all hopes, Felt suicidal, but I was hyper @ times, open to negativity, I lost a thing I loved Again, Things were OK, had time time but lost it, Now regretting for losing that thing which had so many dreams for it! why? Coz I lost belief in Allah so my thoughts were messed stuck days back, so my advice is Just have faith in Allah no matter what, When you are doing something Do you part/ take a proper direct action & Just leave to Allah with faith, Inshallah everything will be aligned for u!
And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers. (51:55)
Come I invite everyone for beneficial reminders
My aunt is very very religios but she has since many years depression too:(
How is she now? Has she overcome it?
as a muslim im not that religious and im not proud of that im still trying to find myself and get closer to allah ,i do undertsand that at moments where our mental health is at stake we should turn to allah and i tried to open up about my depression and anxiety to my parents but if you get closer to allah you can still feel lonely and deoressed when no one is supporting you or helping you , i do know that allah will help ALOT but also having people by your side that support you and listen to you is also going to help but only turning to allah when faking a smile to people and not being able to talk because no one believes you does not exactly help how can i convince my parents that i need my deen and someone to talk to in order to get better perhaps a therapist . My parents are convinced that i dont need a therapis and that keeping my problems to myself and allah going to fix me but it just proves how much they dont understand or know how it feels to keep pain inside of you without being able to open up about it without being judged or even told "you are doing this for attention "
Allah is completely full of wisdom, subhanAllah. Allah commanded us to apply the knowledge (Quran)....That's why our beloved emphasized on Akhlaaq (character). With good character comes trust, love, respect and sharing (heart)....May Allah have mercy on all of us....Ameen
It's not only parents it's also people who have not suffered from mental health issues. And they say the wrong things that knocks the persons confidence down and makes them more depressed. I say don't judge a book by its cover. And don't judge someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes.
Thank you for making this video.
Jazakallahu khyran kathira for the sharing.. May Allah bless you guys.. this enlighten my thoughts about raising children. Thanks so much thanks so much
To everyone, including myself, who is struggling with negative thoughts/ overthinking, always keep this ayah in mind:
(إِنَّمَا ٱلنَّجۡوَىٰ مِنَ ٱلشَّیۡطَـٰنِ لِیَحۡزُنَ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَلَیۡسَ بِضَاۤرِّهِمۡ شَیۡـًٔا إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡیَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ)
[سورة المجادلة 10]
"Private conversation is only from Satan that he may grieve those who have believed, but he will not harm them at all except by permission of Allah . And upon Allah let the believers rely." [58:10]
Sahih International Translation
Thank you for making this video
Yup. Confirmed. Im depressed. Hasbi Allahu wa ni'mal wakil
I grew up hating being in presence of people,I can relate,even sometimes I have such hatred towards who had wronged me in my childhood, but I have been commanded by my Lord, Most hight,to care and do ihsaan
al salam alaykum warahmtulahi wa baraktuh , brother continue the verse و بشر الصابرين الذين ان اصابتهم مصيبة قالوا ان لله و ان اليه راجعون
جازاكم الله خيرا
The stigma and secrecy associated with mental health really prevent patients from getting the help they need. Yes, bouts of depression and anxiety can be triggered or exacerbated by traumatic events, but they can be hereditary too. We don't question the faith of someone with diabetes or high blood pressure, so why is depression different? If my brain cannot produce the required amount of hormones to keep me healthy, iman has nothing to do with it. Depression isn't about sitting round moping because you're feeling sorry for yourself, it;s so much more complicated than that. The exhaustion that you can have is debilitating. So please tread carefully if you know anyone who is living with it.
Well Said
I think in the Muslim community this is an extremely important topic as it's often looked over, especially culturally, parents don't understand that their kid's psychological needs are as important as their physical needs
Been depressed for 2 years and it's getting worse. Nothing to live for. My ex took my little girl away and not seen her since I stay at home doing nothing all day. Cant lift a finger. The house is filthy I am sad all the time and am drowning.
Alhamdulillah!
I need to understand my complex ptsd do to my upbringing so i can put my hart more at ease for what im going thru.
SubhanAllah I know brother Ziyad he used to tutor maths a long time ago.
I'm suffering from a lot of mental illness..🥲🥲.Sometimes It is hard to live...Make Allah make me patient
Ruqya, exercise, salaah, adhkar, good food, reciting Qur'an an try cupping on top of your head .
Same akhi.
depression needs deep rest, supportive people, balanced life n calm work along with natural food n going in nature.
cutting stress out, gratitude and meditation that comes from islamic prayers will fix your life
So relatable , hopefully i could share this when subbtitled with "bahasa"😕
yh a lot of ppl back home think tht mental illness is like some jinn or shaytan or some kind of evil but really its just a test and getting closer to allah will help you overcome your struggle
The virtues of dhikr are plentiful and it requires little effort. One being that it gives you gives contentment and tranquility of the heart.
Saying Subhaan Allaahi wa bi hamdihi Subhaan Allaah il-‘Azeem (Glory and praise be to Allah, glory be to Allah the Almighty).”
Saying Laa ilaaha ill-Allah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer
‘Saying Subhaan Allaahi wa bi hamdihi (Glory and praise be to Allah)
‘Saying Laa ilaaha ill-Allah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, Allahu akbaru kabeeran, wal hamdu Lillahi katheeran, wa subhaan Allahi Rabb il-‘Aalameen, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa Billah il-‘Azeez il-Hakeem ( There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner or associate, Allah is most great, much praise be to Allah, glory be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah, the Almighty, the Most Wise)
Do other righteous deeds like fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, three days a month, the days of Muharram (best month to fast after Ramadan and one of the four holy months)
Giving sadaqah
Memorising and saying your adhkar after Salah, morning, evening and before sleeping.
Praying for forgiveness
Astighfir Allaah wa atoobu ilayh (I ask Allaah for forgiveness and I repent to him) x 100
Reciting and listening to Quran
These are some of the ways to deal with anxiety and depression.
Dua you make when you are worried -
the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The du’aa’ of the person who is in distress is: ‘Allaahumma rahmataka arjoo fa laa takilni ilaa nafsi tarfat ‘ayn wa aslih li sha’ni kullahu laa ilaaha illa anta (O Allaah, for Your mercy I hope, so do not leave me in charge of my affairs even for the blink of an eye; rectify all my affairs. There is no god except You)’”
JazakAllah khair
Simple rule for depression:More Ur connected with Allah(swt)(by obeying him and avoiding sins) and more u remember him , lesser will be Ur depression and greater will be Ur tranquility n happiness!
But even the best of Muslims can go through depression and anxiety.
It's up to us to seak treatment while making dua to Allah. We tie our camel while putting trust in Allah. Most if us were wrongly disciplined by out parents because they need healing from their own trauma pain. Because iyf that emotional pain they have alot of resentment and hate inside. When children misbehave which every child will, the parents take out their frustrations yin their children to feel better, then later they come to them asking for forgiveness. Yelling and hitting the children, that is not called discipline, it's called abuse. And Allah doesn't like anyone abusing anyone. Before anyone gets married they should seek psychotherapy and heal from their traumas especially the childhood one which we all have but deny.

For some people, maybe depression is the only way for us to let go our love for the dunya.We want to escape from it and be truly free and happy in paradise. No more sadness, no more sorrow, no more problem. But, that have to wait until the time come in a rightful way.
In my experience, after healing from trauma, after years of therapy, i was able to find Islam. And islam was the one that fully healed me.
I heard that depression is common thing to spiritually gifted people
Sometimes Depression can be a result of us being ungrateful to Allah, so being thankful and grateful to Him is a way of curing it as the saying goes:
*"I was depress and crying when i had no shoes but then i saw that some people had no feet"*
it is like as if he is talking about me, I am real practicing muslim and I went through depression for al most 2 years.
Great my friend, i enjoy watching it in full. Have a nice day, cheer 👍❤🍞👉!!
Finally somebody spoke about it🙌
For Amazing reminders come
I've been diagnosed with depression for 3 years now and anxiety disorder! At the age of 27 I don't understand why would anyone hold so tight to this dunya and why some wish to live forever. I'm still struggling so please make duaa for me! If feels very lonely
Why are you depressed?
I'm not depressed not depressed just disturbed by figuring the truth out and what others were doing against me
That "Islamic public figure"s story is exactly the same with mine, it's driving me crazy. I tought of suicide a lot although i know it's wrong. My biggest fear nowdays, is that one day i would lose my Iman and take my own life. It's hard to get help in my country where awareness about mental health is very low, (malaysia). I really hope you help that guy, i know his pain very well. Solat and Doa helps a lot and i really mean it, but it just kept coming back. Sometimes i cried in my Solat because im just extremely tired of living. I never blame Allah, because i know everything He has written for me is for my own good, im really afraid i failed His test. Please help him as best you can.
Salam, I am quite religious and pray, fast, etc but my depression would get so bad to the point, it disturbs my sleep, my work life & even my relations with ppl. Only to find my remedy in reading not listening, but reading the ruqiya alshariya. I didn't realize that depression could be caused from someone giving you the evil eye out of envy or whatever and they could be your friends and good people too but they see something in you they lack, so they give you the evil eye unnoticing. I hope this helps insha'Allah
How did you get out of it?
Wa alaikumussalam wa rahmathullahithala wabarakathuhu 😊Good video Brother..❤..May Allah grant you jannathul firdaus and reward you immensely 😊
Please do make more videos about it
@@Syed_12 thank You So much brother
Could you please touch on the topic of bipolar?Because I was diagnoand I am on chronic medication
May Allah SWT guide us all and give us patience to deal with our domestic issues. I have been very impatient in front of my kids. May Allah forgive me and correct the wrongs that I have done, Ya Allah Ameen, Ya Allah forgive me, Ameen!
I like one path network I get mny things thanks alot
🌿🌿🌿🌿☝AllahuAkbar🌿🌿🌿🌿
Salamoaleikom wa rahmatuAllah. I wish the brother you are talking aboute can tell his story because IT is so many like him out there me included strugeling with the daily life and religion. And give tips on how to live with ptsd and be a good muslim .more of this topic please jazakomAllah kheir one path love from norway.
I am female, i understand many females do not like islam due to this stigma that it is very oppressive, but many do noy understand, that some women, like me find an attraction to peacefulness in islam. I am born Christian, but it is failing in my country, after studying many aspects of islam, i find it very uplifting, even as a woman. Islam really is beutiful. I had a horrible childhood, sexual, and emotional abuse, which is forbidden in islam. My mental health has improved so much. I think i will convert, if my return to orthodoxy hasn't worked out. Respect to islam ☪️ .
So many non Muslims don't understand. For example, a man has to provide for his wife despite her having money. His money becomes our money, and your money is yours.
I hope you considering embracing Islam. Jesus fell on his face an prayed to God. Muslims fall on the Face and pray to God almighty.
This is a super lit podcast
Depression makes you feel so low as if all your energy is taken out. It's strange feeling.
Mental illness starts in childhood when you don't have control on your thoughts.
If your child is growing up please be kind to him and love him /her. Don't torture him emotionally. Take responsibility of his stuff and don't criticize him. Give them the love they need.
If you are a grown up child be kind to your parents. They love you and if they are rude sometimes , it is because they want you to be successful so don't shout in front of them. Be Kind to them. Teach them with kindness. Once they see your love they will love you immensely back. I mean they are your parents. God chose them for you and He is all knowing. Bear with patience whenever they say rude things to you and Ask God to make it easy for you and for them. If you are patient with your parents Allah will reward you with so much not just in the hereafter but in this life as well.
Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and do good to parents. If any one of them or both of them reach old age, do not say to them: uff (a word or expression of anger or contempt) and do not scold them, and address them with respectful words,And be humble with them out of mercy, and pray, “My Lord! Be merciful to them as they raised me when I was young.”( Quran )
AS someone who suffered from depression and anxiety i can say, aside from biological depression, depression tht resulted from trauma or other live issues speaks volumes to ur WEAKNES of KNOWLEDGE CAQIIDA and IMAAN, and i am not talking just praying on time
Bye bye Islam, solution for Muslim depression th-cam.com/video/9xVAglsu-Kg/w-d-xo.html
My Non Muslim brother is suffering from pysosis, May Allah swt guide him.
Sometimes …specific Job with high salary make us depressed…which is not suitable for our skills and ability
Do ruqya, morning and evening adhkar etc.
Every time I talk to someone about marriage they get to know me and as soon as they find out I’m schizophrenic they leave. I feel like no one will ever love me or understand me.
Allah loves u and understands u and that is why He is testing u. I know it all feels very overwhelming and deeply saddening but I hope the thought that "Allah tests who He loves" brings a smile to your face and tranquility in your heart.
Hw r u nw? Do surah rahman therapy
Please read this. All the wrong things we do happily we paying for. Smoking. Drinking. All other hard drugs on and on. But Allah ways everything is free plus we saving financially health and safety so why not Allah way??
Yusuf father was pretty much depressed, it's in the Quran.
Guys protect your eyes from haram . Never look to any women except your mother and wife ..
Protect your tongue from lie, back biting, and abuse
Protect your ears from music and filthy talk
Protect your privite parts from harm
Except from your wife only which is halal for you
And protect your self from haram earnings
insha'Allah I bet yea u will see the change
When ever u recite QURAN and perform Salah
U will feel tranquility and happiness day by day as it will increase your emaan and tranquility
And then u will be able to know the purpose of life
And the real success of this world and here after
Remember me in your prayers guys ☺️
I am one of those who suffered from my father's methods of upbringing and behaviour. He called himself Sheikh yet his attitude was far from it. I actually had a post on Facebook at some point addressing this struggle.. the fact that I feel obligated culturally and religiously to address my father with respect but yet I have to take on his abuse and mental bullying. Us the kids mostly took the method of stay away from him to save our sanity but he goes around telling people that we followed the path of Shaitan and he only wanted us to follow the path of God.
What is worse than that is when I get approached by people that I don't know only to tell me that I need to look after my father .. it is a religious obligation no matter how bad he is and I need to be patient.
For me, ok, I am likely to make it to heaven doing that but I will surely make it there crazy!
I am not even going to address the damage that we have inside us and how much physical or mental harm he caused to us and our mother.
@@Syed_12 I am not sure why you keep copying and pasting this randomly.
I appreciate your effort but I don't relate it. Thank you
@@Wisteria_
I am not sure if I am not being clear but it is a struggle between what our faith tells us we should do and what reality implies upon us because of people's attitude.
My faith is strong and I know my religion pretty well. Alhamdulillah
But I appreciate your comment 😊
@@Wisteria_ Well, the sad part is that I know for sure that my father suffers from mental issues and a whole lot of anger which he is not willing to address and for him he is perfect and we are the ones at fault.
You can not help someone who is not willing to help himself.
I'm praying for your father, you and your family. Insha Allah, May Allah make it easy for you and your family, Allahumma Aameen ❤️
Being depressed it just weird, i said to my friends i need them but somehow they tries to avoid me and didn’t really care about my health condition even tho they said they want to help me cope with it
Don't ask mankind for help. Ask the One who PUT him here. Allah (God)
Happiness isn’t real … we get fulfillment and that’s the drive that keeps us going and isn’t random that comes and goes like happiness get fulfillment by obeying Allah
Happiness indeed isn't real. It's our brain forcing us to do things necessary for our survival by making them feel pleasurable for a short period. Food, water, reproduction, we only do those things because they feel good and they make us live further in life. If our brain didn't make up the sense of taste, smell or touch, most of us would be hanging from the ceiling. This is the qadr of Allah s.w.t. He made us see those few glimpses of happiness only to motivate us for jannah, because we're literally biologically on this world only to strive and reproduce, and not lay down and enjoy.
