Common Mental Health Myths

Mental illness is a sign of weak Imaan (faith)

According to the WHO, one in four people suffer from a mental illness at some point in their lives.

Therefore, it’s possible that, a devout Muslim can experience depression or other mental illness just like they can experience physical illnesses like diabetes or cancer. It’s imperative that we understand that suffering from mental illness isn’t a choice; without denying the healing powers of the Qur’an and Sunnah.

Mental illness didn’t exist in the time of the Prophet (PBUH)

We’re all aware that sanity is a precondition for obligatory acts of worship.

This more than acknowledges the fact that mental illness can alter behaviour and make tasks difficult. Furthemore, the Prophet, SAW, has taught us certain duas to help us deal with anxiety and stress. We rest our case. ​

Mental illness is a sign of witchcraft and evil eye

The Qur’an mentions magic clearly and we’re not denying it.

And from the evil of those who practise witchcraft when they blow in the knots.

And from the evil of envier when he envies (Al-Falaq: 3-4)⠀
