How does a person get rid of depression?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A Muslim overcomes depression through sincere faith and strong conviction in God, relying on Him, knowing that what has befallen him was not meant to miss him, and what has missed him was not meant to befall him. Among the means of overcoming distress are frequent remembrance of Allah Almighty, persistence in daily supplications, and the prayer of Dhul-Nun: "There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers."
