Islam has provided remedies for humankind's ailments given it is the code of life. Although there is great benefit in prayer, fasting and supplication, Islam instructs us that illnesses often require treatment by professionals who have studied the human body and understand how to treat its dysfunction.

Although there is great benefit in prayer, fasting and supplication, Islam instructs us that illnesses often require treatment by professionals who have studied the human body and understand how to treat its dysfunction. The same goes for mental health issues, which sometimes need attention from professionals who are trained in the various facets of the mind and psychology.

How Can I Overcome Cultural Stigma Around Mental Health? | Sr. Berak Hussain
How Can I Overcome Cultural Stigma Around Mental Health? | Sr. Berak Hussain

Although culture often encourages and reinforces positive habits and behaviors in our life, like worship, spirituality, generosity and many others, it also sometimes promotes a stigma when it comes to mental health.

Although culture often encourages and reinforces positive habits and behaviors in our life, like worship, spirituality, generosity and many others, it also sometimes promotes a stigma when it comes to mental health.

On the other hand, Islam promotes mental well-being and recognizes that issues with mental health are very real and require appropriate professional treatment.

Thus, we must separate the unnecessary inhibitions and false notions of culture from the true message of Islam to seek a more complete wellness and improvement as Muslims.
