The answer

There are five divine remedies for psychological anxiety:

1. Turning to Allah Almighty: For whoever turns to Him sincerely, Allah will relieve him, as Jacob (peace be upon him) did. 2. Prayer (Salat): It provides immense psychological comfort, and it was the delight of the eye of the Prophet (peace be upon him). 3. Remembrance (Dhikr): By the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest, and among these is the supplication of Jonah (peace be upon him). 4. Reciting the Qur'an with contemplation (Tadabbur): It has an amazing effect in bringing comfort and healing to the soul, and it is a healing and mercy for the believers. 5. Striving in supplication (Du'a): For supplication is a means of drawing closer to Allah, and Allah is Generous and answers the prayer of the supplicant.
