Studying Issues Related to the Subject of Mental Health - Mustafa George

Here is question that was addressed by Mustafa George (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) during the conference titled: Actions are the Fruits of Knowledge Seminar - Masjid Ash-Shura (October 2024).

The question asked was as follows:

We are living in an era where it is said that there are many cases of mental illness. Also, we have seen a rise in Muslims, especially women, entering in to career jobs with good intent to benefit others who struggle with such illness and/or disorders, such as the field of therapy,  psychology, mental health, coaching and psychiatry.  

The concern is regarding those amongst them who are not well-grounded in the basic foundations of the deen and what is necessary to distinguish between what is beneficial in those sciences and the likes.

He (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) gave the following detailed answer:
Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]

This is a complicated problem. Many healthcare workers also don’t agree with these factors. Actually, even there are scientific points to not agree with it, they can’t speak against the system then they will lose credibility to practice. Many research data are manipulated, the research result comes according to the wish of the authority who funds the research study. I tried to educate our community regarding this and I critically questioning who agree with these factors. People finding solution when they get the problem. As a professional with some Islamic knowledge I address this with scientific points because when it integrated with religion people disregard all the points. We have to educate parents and preachers regarding this.
