What is the relationship between Islam and Mental Health?
- Spiritual Resilience – Islam offers a spiritual sanctuary for Muslims to live a peaceful life by using their inner strengths and having a strong relationship with the ultimate power, Allah, being optimistic, purifying their feelings, and not waiting for outside events to improve. Islam acknowledges the importance of spiritual status as an interior power that can be exercised to have a calm mind, healthy consciousness, and positive thoughts.
- Role of Patience – Islam attaches great importance to patience, and it is the focus of about 200 verses of the Quran, and is referred to indirectly in many others. Patience is a virtue that enables Muslims to proceed towards worthy goals, undeflected by adverse circumstances or repeated provocations.
- Evil Eye (Ayn/ Nazar) – Belief in the evil eye is found in the Qur’an based on the following verse: “And from the evil of the envied when he envies,” [Al-Falaq (The Daybreak),113:5]. The concept of the evil eye is the belief that an individual can look at people, animals, or objects and cause harm due to jealousy.
- Spiritual Possession – The belief that Jinn has the power to possess an individual, causing harm to the person and those around them.
