Jinn, Evil Eye or Mental Illness? Islam’s Answer | Sheikh Belal Assaad

This video is about addressing misconceptions and truths surrounding mental health in the Muslim community. Many Muslims, when they hear “mental health” or “mental illness,” tend to dismiss it entirely or attribute it solely to Shaytan, jinn possession, the evil eye, or a lack of faith and religious practice. Some even believe it is a Western invention designed to pull people away from religion. This talk explores whether mental health issues truly exist in Islam, if they are merely the result of weak iman, or if they are a legitimate reality that even Islamic scholars have recognized. The discussion covers how to deal with OCD, intrusive thoughts, depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief. Historical Islamic figures like Imam Razi, who established a psychiatric ward in Baghdad in the 8th century, and Ibn Sina, who wrote extensively on diagnosing and treating mental illnesses, are highlighted. Contemporary Muslim scholars and professionals, such as Dr. Iyad al-Qurnaybi and Dr. Tarik al-Habib, advocate for integrating spiritual and religious treatment with modern therapy, emphasizing that mental illness is not a sign of weak faith. The Qur’an itself references emotional and mental states with terms like ham (worry), huzn (sadness), khawf (fear), and ri’l (deep distress). The talk explains the concepts of qalb (heart), sadr (chest), and fuad (burning energy of the heart), and how they relate to psychological states. The Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) response to companions troubled by intrusive thoughts—telling them such thoughts are a sign of true faith and advising not to fight them—offers a profound therapeutic approach. The video also emphasizes that life’s trials are not inherently punishments or rewards but are neutral, with their nature determined by one’s response. Allah’s names, such as Ad-Darr (The Harmer) and An-Nafi’ (The Benefiter), illustrate that harm can be a pathway to benefit. Ultimately, the speaker teaches that humility, patience, and reliance on Allah are key to navigating mental health challenges effectively.
