Mental Strength

Mental Strength

Although living a God-conscious life can contribute to a healthy internal state of being, it is essential to recognize one’s limitations. It is necessary to reach out to a mental health professional when difficulties become too challenging to manage, whether in relationships or as an individual. Seeking help from a mental health professional in no way implies that a person is weak, has weak faith, or is incapable of making decisions on their own. It is important to work through all negative assumptions about therapy and counseling so we are not holding ourselves back from seeking the help we truly need.

There are many places in the Quran and Ahadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad upon whom be peace) that discuss our mental health and the importance of taking care of it. The Prophet (pbuh) said, ‘There is no disease that God has created except that He also has created its treatment’ (Hadith). When we think of disease, we immediately think of the physical ailments, but this includes mental health illnesses as well. God did not leave us alone to deal with difficulties, but He provided us with many avenues of healing to aid us in our lives.

We end this article with a positive reminder from God, the source of all strength and hope: “There has come to you from God a light and a luminous Book, through which God, by His grace, guides all who seek His good pleasure on the path of peace, and brings them out of the depths of darkness into light and guides them unto a Straight Path” (Quran 5:15-16).
