Treatment of Spiritual Illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: I am afflicted with a spiritual illness, so what is the effective cure? Sometimes I say, is there an afterlife? Or is there Paradise or Hell? So this was a whispering (waswas) that occupied me, so guide me, may Allah grant you success.
Answer:
The whispering (waswas) does not harm you, if Allah wills, as long as you do not act on it. It does not harm you if you feel the whispering.[An-Nahl 16:98] Allah the Exalted said: [Fussilat 41:36] So Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) protects you from it and keeps it away from you. Yes.

[first] seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].
فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِAnd if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
