Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the best method you advise for removing worries, sorrows, anxiety, and obsessions? Is it sufficient to simply read the Qur'an daily, or is ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) necessary?
Answer:
All of these: you should set a daily recitation for the morning and evening, perform ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) on yourself with the Qur'an, and increase your remembrance of Allah through tasbih, tahlil, and takbir. Allah the Exalted said:[Ar-Ra'd 13:28]. This removes the loneliness of the heart, obsessions, worries, and sorrows, if you turn to the Qur'an and its recitation in the morning and evening and persist in doing so.

الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ
