Note: one point I did not cover in this lecture is the affect of Shaytan (devil) on Wiswas (intrusive thoughts) in a human. Shaytan is a continuous culprit and plays a role in leading to mental illnesses. Spiritual medications such as Ruqya, reciting the 3 Quls, listening to Quran, regular words of Dhikr (remembrance) and using the other methods described in this lecture help, inshllah.
I need your contact, I live with family who are really careless and unresponsive too. My parents who are active I never had any depression.
Assalam o Alaikum
Sheikh Bilal may Allah Allah your prayers be mercy upon you,
IAM in deep trouble and conflict in my life.
IAM a mother of 2 boys one is 23 and the youngest is 18,
2 of my children are return to Allah at the age of seven prolonged illness of blood cancer
Alhhumdulillah in every trouble and sadness of my life Allah give me courage and strength ,
I was adopted by my father's sister and my biological parents never take care how I live there
My adopted parents were good in standard of living but my father sexully abuse me many time and my mother always cover on it . They always pinched me in many ways I think they thought that IAM a machine and never need to teken care of,
I was married to my first cusion I have many expectations but soon I realize that IAM now in worst condition then before
I lived a life like IAM alone to handle all hardships no support at all,
He always make jokes on me with his mother and other, he never missed a single chance to insult me , my self-confidence my life carm is gone, but I bringing up my kids with loyalty and according as Allah will.
And i don't want to get divorced for my kids ,Allah gave me courage to face every kind of abuse my mental health was disturbed at very young age and started neuro problems after physical abuse
He set an example for my boys that IAM nothing as he never taken care of me in every aspect of life my boys are now doing same
They spy on me as IAM character less they laugh on me
I feel that IAM just a maid for them without any bounties and salary
I wanted to separate but boys don't want they said why we suffer in results of your decision
And the other hand I have nothing no financial and moral support
But I don't want to live with him as I feel that he wants me to live with him because now he don't want to sit alone
Kindly suggest me what to do IAM in deep pain as I don't want to live with boys
Jazak Allah
assalamualaikum, sheikh, I am a 26 year old man who was matched with a girl whose guardian did not allow any man to take her out, and I was introduced to that girl, to be honest, the feeling when I first met I didn't feel like it or you could say it was normal, then the girl told her guardian that she liked me, I was asking Allah to marry me, long story short I thought this was the path that Allah had given me, maybe this was the best path from Allah, and finally I agreed to get engaged, but after we got engaged my heart I seemed to say no to the girl, remembering that from the first time I met her, I was normal to that girl, now I'm confused about whether I should continue with the condition of my heart that says no, or what. I really need an answer right now, because the woman's guardian asked for certainty, hopefully the answer from the ustadz is an answer from Allah too.
I have serious problems with mental illness,but after watching 20 minutes of this I feel much better Alhamdulillah
Salem alykoem Wa ArhmatuAllah, me Allah Makit Easy for you and give shifa , me advice also too dow ( Hijama ) ...it is from soenna of islam , beste Isamic Hijra days too recamont is on
17/19/21 ....
Hijama is a kind of Cupping, in other words, the dead blood cells are sucked out by vacuum so that the body has the opportunity to ventilate, I advise you to go to a reliable religious brother or sister who follows the way of (Tawheed and Sunna of Islam). ) and know what they are doing or saying, because there are a lot of scammers out there and they can cause harm
For more information read the book of
the authentic of The Medicine of the Prophet by IBN Al-Qayyim, authentication based on the works of Shaykh Muhammad Nasir ad-Din-al-Albani...
Being righteous is a challenge, to overcome these challenges 💪 one must read the Quran and understand it throughly. Once understand live every aya dont just read through and above all pray, be patience, pray, be patience, and pray.......till we meet Allah in a good clean slate
May Allah SWT heal you and heal all our brothers and sisters who are suffering
@@mss4346 jazakAllah khair brother or sister
And you are cured? Do not misguide people
Please keep talking about mental health and mental illness! There is so much stigma around it, especially in religious communities. It was very helpful to hear where Islam stands on this matter. And this once more proves my point on how little the world knows about the religion of Islam.
Thank you for this lecture!

This!!!
Alhamdulillah. I have been suffering from mental health illness for almost 6 years now and the worst thing is till today nobody is able to understand me. I was not I don't have tawakul and other sorts of hurtful things. May Allah heal all those who are suffering from this.
Ameen ya rabb

Insha Allah
Saying to someone their depression is because of their Lak of Iman or prayer is the worst thing ever. It makes them resentful of religion & makes them more angry. Sometimes all a person needs is a tight hug & gentleness of speech for them to start getting better. As an over thinker myself all these thoughts & feelings & being overly emotional is dangerous, because if u hid it all ur body can’t take it & it leaks to sickness. So be kind to ur selves & leave it to Allah
I agree.. Mr Belal mentioned both in this lecture 1:07:24
I think we need a combination of both.. A Balance between Prayer and good support system.
Me personally , i rarely fall into mental illness ( depression for example ) , i got wore out or anxious but that's not depressed. Few days of a good rest or a good workout i will feel better.
Alhamdulilah , Allah bless me with positive outlook about life in general..
Everyone navigate mental health differently- i pray that Allah ( Ya Sami ) takes care of everyone worries, and grant ease to all affairs , Aamiin.
True with this.....
The best message was: DONT self diagnose. May Allah Bless you Sheikh Belal and grant you Jannah. Ameen.
😊Insha Allah
Mental health studies and psychology is a form of knowledge. All knowledge comes from Allah. So I see it as this is a mercy from Allah to help us become cured and better. As long as we use it the right way along side with our Iman, Islam, etc. Alhumdullah for this knowledge. May Allah guide us all, and always.
It began with Islam. It’s not an invention of the west.

@@shaaniakandhai4058 JazakAllah for sharing. May Allah swt bless you
alhamdulillah, have BPD for years and allah guide me closer to quran. wish me getting better insyallah
I was diagnosed with 7 mental disorders and prescribed all types of different medication and therapy none of which worked. But then I had Ruqia done and after one session most of my problems went away alhmadulih. Remember the Quran is a cure even if you are diagnosed with mental disorders. Ruqia is always beneficial and won’t hurt you in anyway but medication and even therapy can be harmful at times.
Maybe you’ve had some kind of sihr done to you? Not saying the diagnoses aren’t true but ruqia does help with possession and symptoms of possession my mimic some mental health symptoms
Very happy for you, Alhamdulillah for the miraculous Quran.
Remember too that Allah gave us the knowledge of medications to treat and cure many illnesses. Yes, sometimes people may experience side effects, however, most people do not. In my work, I see how medications have saved many, many lives and has its place.
May Allah be with us all. Aameen.
May I ask who did the ruqya on you?
Salam Walekum. What is Ruqia ?

Mentalh health is so stigmatized in Muslim communities. Jazakallah for changing the narrative. U do so much good, that the reward is in the next life. MA
A deeply insightful lecture about mental health within the context of Islam and Ahadith. Learned a lot الحمد لله
May Allah bless you 1 million times more for talking about and not forgetting about this topic. Alot of us go unseen and unheard especially as women. This is one of the best lectures ever. May Allah give you and your family all the health, wealth and happiness in this world and next.
Insha Allah ❤

Having Epilepsy and depression and hearing the Sheikhs lecture makes me feel better. I thank Allah for my Neurologist and phsycitrist. Alhamdulillah
Brother Belal, Jazzak'Allah'Khair for talking thoroughly about such an important topic that is stigmatised in Islam by people :(
May Allah Ta'la reward you with Jannatul-firdois, Ameen.
I'm glad I came across this video, I am aware that tending to my mental health is a way of worshiping Allah and that gives me comfort.
Great topic chosen by Sheikh. May Allaah reward you with more goodness.
I suffered from major depression back in November 2007 and I thank Allah that theres medicine that He created in order to heal us with it. And with my mental health issues, Islam, Allah, the Quran is the greatest healing along with my medicine. I love listening to these powerful lectures because it spreads a lot of awareness and truth.
Salam, how long were u on the medicine for? I just started mine but I’m too anxious and want to stop
Walikum salaam. I've been on my medicine since 2007 but started at a small dose and maxed out at a certain level, please be careful, its normal to feel anxious at first, because your brain and body starts to adapt to the chemical imbalance in the brain. I maintain professional help every 2-3 months by my doctor's and please understand everybody's bodies are different and our chemical reactions respond differently with side effects that may be positive or negative. InshaAllah everything will be ok 😊 @@2002yb
@@2002yb Its been a very long time now, please do understand that everybody's bodies have a different chemistry. At first I felt very anxious too because the medication first begins to adjust to the chemical imbalances in the brain such as serotonin, this is considered a normal thing because the medication may have positive and or negative side effects. We put our trust in Allah (swt) Who is the All-Healing and one of the most beautiful names of Allah is Al-Shifa. Take care, peace out.
Masha Allah I was waiting for a topic like this to be addressed. Sheikh Belal may Allah swt reward you and heal anyone who is suffering from mental health issues and bring ease in their life Ameen
😊Insha Allah
MashAllah very informative may Allah bless you and your family
There go I, except by the grace of God (Allah). Very interesting lecture, I will have to re listen to it again.
Whenever I listen to you, I feel like my father is talking to me. I’ve never felt this way before.
Ya Allah, peace for my heart ❤️
JazakAllah Khair, May Allah reward you immensely.
This topic should be the forefront It took me a few years and many doctors to get a diagnosis and now I have, I can manage, and elevate the suffering which many do silently through shame, fear or guilt on themselves and not wanting to hurt others, whilst causing ourselves more pain. Be gentle with yourself

Dear brothers & sisters! Don’t forget to send your blessings upon the Prophet (ﷺ)
“Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa aali Muhammad” 🤍
Good to have you back, brother Bilal.
Hearing the Shaykh describe shaytan as a "yapper" made my day
A salaam u Alikum everyone,
I have been through a very bad divorce still fighting since 2017. It’s not easy specially with the person I’m dealing with. Anyway my best support with me beside my family it’s my prayers do استغفار as much you can as you walk, set, sleep. Every way of your life. By the way Ibneseena Balkhi he was from Balkh north of Afghanistan from my country 🇦🇫
Asalaamu alaikum wa rahmatulahi wa barakatu dear sister ❤
What is the Arabic word that you use mienfadliq?
I can testify that the Qur'an heals, through Allah s.w.t.
For the really serious cases it is often difficult even to talk about it,
Allah knows best .
Allhamdullilah ❤
Mashaallah mashaallah shukran very helpfull speech May Allah SW reward u scheik
الحمد لله على كل حال ❤
Brother you just explained the situation i feel on a daily basis
I went through something similar and 18:51 Allah assisted me, Laillahaillalah
Another fantastic lecture, thank you, Sheikh. May Allah reward you
Peace for my heart. MashAllah❤
May Allah bless you for every word.May Allah make me as strong believer and strong to fight my fears and find peace ,happiness for my self and my children and my family InshaAllah🤲🤲🤲🥲
I do think as well many Muslims come from an ethnic background which makes sense as to why mental health conversations are shun or disregarded. Families who come from war torn nations, corrupt nations and so on, don’t have the education on this topic and therefore, they teach their children that it doesn’t exist and resilience is the only way. It is one way, but we cannot just disregard the science of mental health.
Alhamdulilah for you Belal Assad may Allah reward you!! im from USA

May Allah bless you abundantly and make things easier for you. Allah has created you he KNOWS what you are struggling with and he will make allowances because he is Al Wadood the most loving and also I'm sure you're still making effort regardless. You saying you're homesick for jannah touched my heart very much. Thank you.

Pointing it out to 'ain' is a coping mechanism, some finds it is easier than pointing inward/introspectively ☺️
Hello Sir, Assalamu Alaikum, You have a wonderful channel with essential and highly sought-after content. It greatly benefits the Muslim community and others interested in learning about peace. However, our beloved channel and videos have SEO (search engine optimization) issues, which is why the videos are not appearing at the top of search results according to TH-cam's algorithm metrics. This needs to be addressed. As an expert in this field, it is my responsibility to fix this issue to benefit Islam. If you agree, I will fix the problem free of charge. Jazakallah Khairan, Rezaul Bari from Bangladesh
Alhamdulillah
Brother thank you so much I really wish to meet you insShaAllah
This was excellent but I have to address something. I know a family where the oldest was the most spoiled and the youngest was actually neglected very much. This might be because of the huge age difference and the parents being older and tired and the older siblings being very aggressive/abusive to the youngest but don’t always assume the youngest is spoiled because that’s not always the case.
Thank u so much for this topic Sheik in sha Allah please do more video about mental healthness issue..
The time when i need this, masyaAllah. I am recently feel just depressed. Im not saying that i have depression, but i really do like most useless being just like garbage. I do not want to having one of this mental issue because it would make me more and more useless than before. And this kinda reinforced that. This lecture helps. :)
Dont self diagnose. Depression has physical effects. Lack of sleep, lack of energy, lack of appetite, among others. May Allah heal u.
@@gomezg8497 i dont say i having depression. Just that i feel down or depress like that.

Does having several Traumas affect people's mental health ?eg. Abandonment ,abuse , Bullying death of 3 loved ones including through suicides ,watching someone dying of cancer & someone else also having cancer & worried around that & other family members illnesses does this mean that Allah is testing me ?

I am 29 years old and recently I have really started to zone out and lose focus during salah to the point where I have no idea what rakat I’m on. Although it’s happened before, I’ve been able to remember where I’m at when regaining my focus but I’ve never experienced it to this extent. Please advise on what we can do.
I’m trying to quit music altogether and alhumdullilah I’ve been able to for the most part but every so often I’ll get the urge to listen to songs - I’ve done this to try and help focus on my salah. I’ve also tried to eliminate other distractions such as Netflix TikTok insta but I’ll find myself on TH-cam scrolling, and I’m finding myself committing other sins which are almost replacing those I’m trying to cut down on. I’m trying but I’m struggling a lot and I do beat myself up about it cuz some of them are life long sins I’ve been battling. I know I’m not the only one but I’m scared of death yet death doesn’t deter me from committing those sins in the moment. Can you please do a video or several videos addressing this?
Also I tried ruqya (for anxiety not for sinning) and I had a traumatic experience with that so I try pray my morning and evening Adhkaar every day to protect myself so if anyone advises ruqya please don’t,I know it’s there as an option.
Assalamualaikum warahmatullah everyone iam also going through mental problem and another major illness my dear sisters and brothers please pray for me. In Sha Allah I will pray for you all. May Allah bless you everything with good of this world and hereafter Aameen summa aameen.
