I experienced bouts of clinical depression for five years. I went from being a practicing Muslim to a walking zombie. My duas changed from "Oh, Allah take this affliction away from me" to "take my life away from me". Shaytaan does not trick you in this situation. He comes to you every evening, as your best friend, with a smile and says "why do you fight it so hard? Just end your own life." These were truly difficult times, the hardest test, I went through. Islam stopped me from acting on Shaytaan's advice. In the end I took medication and had counselling. I got better. In perspective, I realised that Shaytaan IS your clear and open enemy and he does attack you from all sides. I returned to being a practicing Muslim. If I had died in my fight with depression, I honestly believe it would have been as good as dying on the battlfield and Allah knows best.

@@studio181 The first person whom you need to speak to is your Doctor. They will give you the best advice. I had to change my Doctor, because she didn't believe me. You have to figure out which one you're addicted to. I am guessing that you are addicted to the sleeping tablets. Again, speak to your Doctor about safely coming off these. Same with antidepressants. I have been taking them for a long time, although now I take more natural form of SSRI. Allah has created medicine for depression, so take it. I will be taking it for the rest of my life.

ALLAH is always with you and me and everyone....no matter how big our sins are remember his mercy overcomes our sins...so blind rule always seek ALLAH's help for he is the best who knows your situation and he is the best of healers

1) having sadness and worry is a natural part of life 2) we battle some of these issues by comforting ourselves that Allah is with us and that we are not alone. 3) everyone has stress and anxiety 4) know that Allah is merciful and kind to you. Allah loves you. 5) belief in qadr. Whatever happens is from the decree of Allah. We use qadr to console ourselves about the past and not to justify the future. Acceptance of qadr leads to qanaa ( contentment). Always look at people below you. 7) grief and stress is sometimes a tactic from shaytaan. 8) Muslims should try to Chanel their anxiety and lead them to connect with Allah. Whenever the prophet was worried he would stand up for Salah. Dua opens up a communication between you and Allah. 9) The future is always for the believer. Victory is always for the believer. If not in this life then the next.

As someone who struggles with depression I can personally attest that telling someone that they need "to have greater iman" "to just read the quran" or "just stop being depressed" certainty did not help at best and made things worse at worst. I already feel like a stupid failure, as if any accomplishment will be overturned by the simplest mistake and any once of iman ruined by any sin. therapy and antidepressants certainty helped but its still an ongoing battle and I still slip up and fall into old habits now and again. thank you again Shaykh for this message. I truly never thought about complaining TO God as a means of dua before and its benefits.

VaqasARV3 Cannot agree more to this. I think there is a real gap in understanding how depression can become overwhelming. I'm alright in accepting shaytan's whispers as contributing to that negative state but there are many people who think that "there must be something wrong with the iman" of the person in question. More patience and understanding would be greatly appreciated, especially considering how this is turning into an unprecedented pandemic not only for Muslims but humanity in general. May Allah ease your burden brother.

Thank you! As a new Muslim who suffers from clinical depression, this is wonderful to see.

I have been battling depression since over a decade, had it since school, didnt recognize it as depression, went through graduation, post graduation in 2 fields and gave up PG after 1 yr ....went through the worst depressive episodes for 2yrs. Couldnt affords treatment, finally could afford, since last December...nothing miraculous has happened, but definitely in a better place...the worse situation is when the suicidal thoughts just drown you...its so difficult to even pick yourself up for that 1 sajida that you know will provide relief...but that mental burden is so much that even such a small action seems humongous....wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy.

Whenever I think ofJannah it cures any depression I have. All my dreams will come true, inshallah

Treat it like you would treat any other illness. As far as I know, taking medication is sunnah. So take necessary preventive measure, take medication/therapy if you need it, make life style changes as needed and always keep seeking refuge with Allah, ALWAYS. Just how when we are in any sort of pain, we pray to Allah for relief, it's exactly the same. Being in constant prayer doesn't guarantee that you will not fall ill. Same with depression. It is a sickness. It is not grief or sadness. It's a ghostly hollow despair with clear physical symptoms in a lot of cases (joint pain, lethargy, severely decreased everyday performance etc. etc.) This is the concept most people don't understand. And it's very difficult for the people who suffer from it. May Allah help us all.

I can’t share my feelings as Sheyh said it’s considered-as prohibited topic. I always afraid that if I share with other Muslims, they could thought that I have problem in my Iman. So I do two rakahat sala asking from Allah protection and help me. After icomplaining to Allah with tears, I feel much better than previous. I know and I believe Allah always listen to me and respond me. I love Him so much! Thanks Allah among the whole humanity chose me to be a Muslim. Only Allah author of my Destiny and just wonder will being in Jannah with mercy of Allah! I love all the Muslims and I pray for all who are under different kind test of Allah!

I am confident by Almighty your life would be bit easier. "Oh Allah don't test us beyond our scope " [ Al Quran]

I think it's great that Qadhi stresses that religion cannot fix every condition of this kind. It can be extremely distressing for someone to be depressed, try to fix it by being more faithful, and not seeing that succeed - after all, if the creator of the universe can't help you, who can? But the reality is that some depressions are more like a broken bone than like a fleeting bad mood. You can't fix a broken bone by prayer either, and everyone accepts that and just goes to the doctor to get a cast. It's time equivalent psychological interventions lost their social stigma - not only in religious communities.

JazakALLAHU khair for the lecture shaykh may ALLAH bless you... Key points : ***Don't ever relate your spirituality and depression completely.... depression can be of any cause anytime and it doesn't mean that we have weak emaan and as a result we have depression or vice versa....but yes spirituality is ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE ways of dealing depression but NOT THE ONLY way..... sometimes medication helps/counselling helps/teraphy helps etc....know that these are also means of shifaa from ALLAH itself...for ALLAH cures from which ever ways he wills.... ***Know that this might be a test from ALLAH of your taqwah.... motivation point is , stronger the emaan difficult the test will be and never think that ALLAH is not with you in this test....ALLAH is always with us no matter what.... ***Can our sins be greater than ALLAH'S mercy for ALLAH not to be with us in this ordeal? Nauzubillah..... always remember that no matter how big our sins are , ALLAH'S doors of mercy are always open for those who ask him.... don't think that i am not able to ask him with concentration...i am not able to worship him as i used to do it before....i know how situations will be as i have been through them.....ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT ALLAH better knows what situation we are in better than we ourselves do and anyone else....and we don't have any other option but to ask him alone to take out of that situation and grant tranquility to heart.... ***Know that in this ordeal we get closer to ALLAH , ALLAH expiates some of our sins, there might be his abundant hiqma behind that we don't know....always think positive of ALLAH ****Know that the stress /situations that we are going through are not the only toughest...i know it feels so but the facts is if someone had worse trails than us then they are the Prophets of ALLAH our tests are nothing before what they have been through May ALLAH save us all from such situations of life and take out his selected ones from distress and grant tranquility to their heart , protect us all ,guide us all...ameen

I praise and thank God, our One Great Creator. I rely on God. Verily God Has Power over all things. I ask God humbly to Help all depressed believers and Guide the disbelievers. I praise and thank God. God Is Kind and Merciful and never Makes mistakes.

I suffered depression and when I tried to speak about it, I was told I was allowing sheitan whisper to me and I didn't have proper iman. Muslims shouldn't feel depressed. Unfortunately I don't feel like the sheikh touched the topic. He is talking about depressed and not depression. You can have everything, money and living in the castles but still feel depression. Depression is when you have everything but feel dead inside and it's nothing to do with lacking money or other things.

I’m trying my best and tell myself that allah will not test me to a point I cannot take and so I breathe, pray, make dua and just breathe on this earth. It has come to a point where I honestly do want to die but instead I say ‘ya allah pls take me when I have enough good to go heaven and as soon as I have enough’ I try and turn my bad thoughts into good ones. My parents think that I am like this bc of another thing/ realm but i don’t think that it is, only I k and allah knows what I have to go through.

Good morning Great lesson Have a nice day

I wish someone confront me but no one is right for that

thank you for discussing this topic. Counting your blessings daily and nightly , exercise and acupuncture really help depression. Medications are good short term . Self help books also help greatly. Self hypnosis also helps. Everyone has different coping mechanisms to stress and trauma. May Allah help and guide everyone suffering from depression.

I started having depression probably like 20 years ago. At that time, I was still a teenager and didn't know any better other than self harming and suicidal thoughts that ended up in series of suicide attempts. At that time I went through a bad relationship for more than a decade. It was manipulative and emotionally abusive. I just discovered that what I've been having was depression when I left the relationship, I thought everything would be better once I left but apparently the trauma was already too deep. I became religious after that in order to fix the issue. It helped a bit, but it was more like sweeping under the rug to make things look cleaner on the outside. Not sure what happened, but I rage quit and things went spiraling down a lot harder to the point where I ended up realizing that I had these 6 fragmented parts of myself that they said they already been there the whole time (yes, I talked to them all the time). Before that I only knew that there was one other fragmented self of me. I went to psychologist a few times after that, but probably I wasn't ready or I just went to the wrong one. Don't get me wrong, the psychologist did her job well but somehow those sessions left me feeling abandoned and felt dumb instead, like being mocked as if I made up everything. It's probably just me self sabotaging myself. I went back to my past habit of self harming and suicide attempts after that until I met my husband who helped me went through this and finally got me to feel better. He helped me to become religious again. Now I'm in a middle of a crisis that led me to another depression series where these fragmented parts came back once again, my husband is still as loving and supporting as before. But I think when it comes to untreated depression, the next time you get it, you get it faster, harder and easier. Even issues that are supposed to be easily solved become a real struggle that spiraling you down. I've been praying tahajjud lately, trying to be as close to Allah as possible, but it's still difficult for me to get rid of them. I keep having suicidal thoughts and self harming thoughts. I try to remind myself that I'll get it in akherah, but then there's always voices "but the help that I need the most for this crisis is now, in this dunya. So what's the point of getting it in akherah if I won't even need it?". So it's really difficult for me to keep focus on getting closer to Allah when I'm a married woman, with kids, work, have to do all sort of things to make sure everyone survives and happy AND on top of that having to deal with voices in my head. I feel like I don't have enough time to do what I need to do to get comfort in religion. The best that I can do right now is doing my 5 times prayers, dhuha, tahajjud and witr. And 15 minutes of reading Quran if I'm lucky. And it's not enough. They're still here, my heart is still void. Suicide is an easy way out for me, but now that I'm blessed with a loving husband and kids, they're my responsibility, I can't just abandon them like that. They're literally the only thing that keep me alive so I'll have to survive for them. And today, after prayed my Ashr, somehow I thought about going back to psychologist to get treated. I feel like probably this is what Allah wants me to do, that I should get treated so I can fully function as a whole. Probably it's the reason why I fail everything I do and Allah telling me to fix the main issue while maintaining my relationship with Him as well. I will try to get an appointment with a psychologist next Monday, please pray for me. I wish I will not fail Him this time and become a better person that He can be proud of.

Thank you very much Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi for such an important video to the muslim community. Another aspect I think should be known is that a person can be diagnosed with clinical depression even when no calamity or trouble befalls them. And this is something we all have to some extant seen. how many times has the news reported the suicide of someone rich or loved without past trauma or abuse? combine this with the Fact that even people with great iman can suffer depression and it means that ANYONE can become clinically depressed for almost ANY reason and should seek out therapy and other means to improve ones self.

VaqaeARV3, Just some insight what are you saying. I am a revert. Most People who do not know their purpose, and also... drink alcohol, do drugs. and so forth... this could cause depression even though they are in a good situation with homes, food, clothing. They feel despair because they are lost in that hedonistic society of emptiness. We were created to struggle and strive. So the stronger ones usually are the one who were given the lease ,when they were younger. That in itself is a great blessing. WHen things are too easy people get even weaker in their determination, to strive for success.. what is success ?.. knowing your purpose and getting to know your Creator, that is a lifetime journey. When you make it your priority to make your Creator happy with you, and to get to know your Creator.... you will not have depression. As well we all need to have the outlook to give back, and help the people who do not know the TRuth.....which is ISlam. Once we study the more we study to use this guide the Quran and sunnah... on how to deal with our problems the more problems will be lifted from us.

My mom thinks I am possessed of demons and that is why I am being depressed ! She tells me that the Quran can help you ...and that Allah is not punishing you ...this is a test you should prove you can pass it with a strong Iman and tawwakul ! She is not totaly wrong as Quran helped me calm down while on my depressive episodes; but it was not enough ! ... seeking professional help is also an option.

Yes sister... we cannot relate depression totally to spiritual shortcomings.... medications therapy etc these are also part of shifaa from allah itself.... we should never think that if we have depression our emaan is the reason for it....may Allah have mercy on us and heal us from all ailments for he is the only best of merciful and best of healer...all knowledgeable

Astafallah! Our families often make our situations worse with ignorance and superstition, may Allah forgive them! If you look closely, you will most likely see that those same family members also suffer. We are blessed with knowledge and therapists and medicine that allah has provided for us in his mercy! Partake of what he has provided for us and our friends and family may be inspired to take advantage of Allah's mercy as well.

Kita tidak bisa memaksakan setiap orang untuk harus berada dalam satu frekuensi dengan kita. Karena setiap kita akan Allah pertemukan dengan mereka yang berfrekuensi sama dengan kita, so we don't have to be sad or worry

Ainsahllah Allah ameen

People who consider depression as “taboo” and tell people that if you have iman you will never be depressed are too much. I’ve heard that many times and it is an opinion only formed on misinformation. I’m glad shaykh yasir is clearing up what I’m sure are many misconceptions of what depression is, how a person feels and how someone can still have iman and be depressed.

jazaq Allah khair sir..............for the wonderful advise you have given to us...........i also feel very much depression in my life for some property issue thankz for solving my depression for such a wonderful way...........Hasbann allaha wanemal wakil

Assalamualaikum jajak ALLAHU khair

I also think it's the titles we give these serious, medical issues as the term 'depression' sounds purely emotional, hence, it doesn't sound medical....

Send for my cousin in Los Vegas

Just like how people visit the doctor when they fall sick physically, people with mental illness would also visit doctors in hopes to be cured.

please help meee 😭😭😭 i pray i do everything which a good muslim but i cant feel my prayer words i i just wanna die im deppresed without any reason have a good family good life doing medical at my dream place but even then 😭😭😭 everytime thses unwanted and without any reason tears breaks me down makes me feel like allah is not hearing me he doesnt love me thats why im suffering 😭😭😭

My dude has more hair than me, he’s defo got less stress. 😭 This talk really helped tho. 💙 I can feel myself getting depressed all over again. It’s the fourth time I’ve contemplated suicide seriously. Each time getting more closer to doing it. Obviously I’d rather be happy if I can, but the whole taboo culture he mentioned about, makes it really hard to talk to anyone. Yesterday I was staring at my floor thinking about it, I legit have no-one. No friends, not a single family member I can talk to, and it’s killing me (mentally). I hate how sad I am, and how useless it’s making me, so I’m gonna try the whole religion thing. iA it works.

how are you feeling now? we can talk about it if you want.

I wake up every day but don't see much goodness around. Each day I forced myself to be normal, but today it hit me again. I couldn't cook proper food, at that moment I realised I have to stop it. So I am just in a bed now. My husband knows about my mood swings, however now I started to think about psychiatric advice. I have almost all signs described here. I have always thought I am not doing enough to learn islam and not praying properly, but maybe I need professional help.

I'm in a state of depression for the past 2 days. Missed my dose but things are effecting me that I'm not even handling work. Luckily I work for a family firm so I just came home today and stayed away from work yesterday but I feel like a failure. I'm single and have been for some time and it hurts me alot. The friends I keep seem not the type of friends I want to keep company. My life feels so empty. I was fine for the few months I was trying hard to keep it balanced but I was lying to myself. I'm just breaking down now

People have told me I've changed for the positive. My problem was my thoughts. Life has been 'unfair' but I am learning to be stronger. I've picked up a few skills I didn't know I would have. It may be slow but I'm working on fixing my career. I'm still single and have been let down and still have insecurities about my looks and capabilities. But I'm learning to move on.

@@Stoicmencentury 3 days isn't a long time but you don't want it to get worst. Depends on the situation or issue. First thing please please try and get good sleep. But besides that, you need a routine. Even if you do one task a day its fine but it's progress. Fix your thoughts. See things for the reality of it and know that being negative will not help you in the long run. Be practical but not negative. Make do with what you have so you can grow. Get healthy habits. Habits are key. Drink water everyday. Eat well as you can. Exercise or even walk. All these are not costly. I got an app called fabulous, it helped me alot to build healthy habits. Its so nice and interactive. Its on the apps stores. If something happened to you in your life don't focus on it. Take up meditation. Deal with it in the specific time slot. Be mindful and practise mindfulness skills. If you can speak to a wise person that you trust thats good, listen to practical advice. If it trauma and something that needs more attention get free councelling or therapy if you can afford it, nothing wrong. But do background checks and check if they good. If there's more to the story, you can reply and I will try and help out. And remember nothing changes in an hour or a day sometimes. Some things take practice and consistency

I suffered from depression a lot lot more. I used to pray a lot and never missed any prayer but after depression I left prayers and each ritual of religion .

life style 1) Know that Allah loves you and loves the ones who keep turning to him, as Rumi said come come again even if you have broken your promises many times come our door is of hope 2) do at least 100 salawat every day 3) Try to enjoy small things, comfort yourself with delight, practice gratitude 4) go for regular jogging and walking 5) connect with spiritual people attend halaqa Lastly know that Allah will give you 10 times more for one good deed, and only 1 fpr had deed, if your repent he will erase all of your bad deeds, know that jannah is waiting for believers, Our Creator is the Most Merciful and Compassionate

Read the book The Iodine Crisis by Lynne Farrow.

the verse quoted in 7:59 is from surat Ash-Shu'ara not surat Alkahf though there is a similar verse in surat Alkahf but not exactly that one Ash-Shu'ara verse 3 لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌۭ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ Perhaps you ˹O Prophet˺ will grieve yourself to death over their disbelief. Alkahf verse 6 فَلَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌۭ نَّفْسَكَ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ إِن لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَسَفًا Now, perhaps you ˹O Prophet˺ will grieve yourself to death over their denial, if they ˹continue to˺ disbelieve in this message.

If dr Qadhi is quoting from surah kahf verse 6 then I believe it was misquoted in the Arabic but the English translation is sound. Good lecture though, just had noticed that the verse he said in Arabic was correct for first few words but something else completely after. I could be wrong tho, allah knows best.

I have all off signs yasir mentioned at the end!

Don’t try medicine to treat depression- make dua Allah has all the power- I myself tried different medications for almost 5 years and didn’t help on the contrary they worsen my health, finally I decided to leave the medical treatment and only dua and spirituality brought my mental health back ❤️Alhamdulillah❤️

I think you’re wether wrong nor right. Everyone should find its own way. if you feel ready for using or better said trying anti-depressants, then u should follow that feeling. Because you never know if it might help u in some occasions. For example without any medicine I myself feel not even able to brush my teeth so how shall I then be able to make dua or pray? I seen that medicine works for me to again be able to do banal things like taking care of my health and of course to finally talk to allah again, to pray and do what religion teaches us. Alhamdullilah we all have so many options and we just have to figure out what’s the best for us. May Allah grant you all ease in making dua and salah.

Ya Cheikh.. you have one point of correction to make regarding the Ramadan tafseer you gave about AlKahf on depression and Eeman

I feel depressed right now...

7:00 - ignore just for me

My anguish has gone to an unhealthy level..because of childlessness for 18 years...I still make dua but my heart is so broken that now I am having some serious doubts regarding Allah

Ibrahim (pbuh) had his first child at the age of around 86 years. He was one of the mighty messengers of Allah. He is known as Khaleelullah (friend of Allah). And he is referred to as 'Aba Ibrahim' (father Ibrahim) by our prophet (pbuh). Allah blessed him by making all the messengers who came after him, to be from his progeny. Allah tests whom he wants - be it a mighty messenger or regular people like us. It may either be a medical issue or an unexplained issue. Nothing happens except by the will of Allah. Seek medical help for it and also seek help in patience and prayer. Indeed it may be a big test from Allah - he may have something better for you. Don't lose hope - Allah is ever merciful. Take care.

Sister Saima, as Salam alaykoum. I’m making duaa for you that Allah gives you a child-ameen. Please don’t have any doubts about Allah nor Islam. For some reason that you don’t know of, Allah has not given you children, this is only a test, so bear every day with patience. You don’t know what could happen to you or your baby if He did grant you a child. If there was any good in this then He would have given you a child, but understand this-Allah is All Wise. He created us and our lives and He knows what is good for us today and for tomorrow. Lastly do not keep on thinking about how you are childless. Think about how Allah has given you sight, hearing, arms, legs, heart, mind, intelligence etc..,for free. He alone blessed you with these beautiful blessings in which you never asked for. Be thankful for what He has given you my sister and with thanks He will give you more as He says in Quran. Don’t “blame “ Islam or Allah, there are many non Muslims who are going through the same thing too. And please keep your mind busy with some good. Helping the needy, learning new things, etc. I will keep you my duaa sister so don’t despair

what can new converts do ? they dont necessarly have a supporting family and such close, musim friends to open up ..
