Treating Obsessive Compulsions and the Fear of Death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm 'Abdullah says: My mother is ill and suffers from an obsession with death and fear. When she hears the Qur'an, her fear increases and tears stream from her eyes. We do not know what is wrong with her, and she has been in this state for ten years. Is there a cure for this obsession? May Allah reward you with Paradise?
Answer:
The cure for this obsession is seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. When she feels it, she should seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan and leave it alone. Allah the Exalted said:[Fussilat 41:36] So the obsession is treated in two ways: first, seeking refuge in Allah from Shaytan, because the obsession comes from Shaytan; second, rejecting it, not letting it affect her, and not considering it to be anything. Yes.
