By Sheikh Saleh al-Fawzaan (حفظها الله)
Question: The questioner asks: What is the treatment for a person afflicted with anxiety, sorrow, grief, and physical diseases and a cure for restlessness, whispers, the evil eye and magic? May Allaah preserve you.
Sheikh Saleh al-Fawzan: This will fall into one of two categories. This can be caused by mental illness and in this case the person should consult a psychiatrist. Perhaps they can find a treatment for him. Or his illness can be the result of whispers, stress, and sadness caused by Shaitân. The treatment for this is by the remembrance of Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى and the authentic supplications, taken from the Qur'aan and Sunnah, likewise the {adkhaar} supplications of the morning and evening. And before all of this, the person should preserve and maintain the five daily prayers for surely they assist the person in all of his affairs.
As
Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى said:
وَاسْتَعِينُواْ بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلاَةِ
وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلاَّ عَلَى الْخَاشِعِينَ
"And
seek help in patience and As-Salât (the prayer) and truly it is extremely heavy
and hard except for Al-Khâshi'ûn [i.e. the true believers in Allâh - those
who obey Allâh with full submission, fear much from His Punishment, and believe
in His Promise (Paradise, etc.) and in His Warnings (Hell, etc.)]."
(Al-Baqarah 2:45)
