What is the Sharīʿah's view on the harassment the questioner experienced at work, and the resulting health and psychological problems, and what is the solution to her problem?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A Muslim must adhere to piety (taqwa) towards Allah, for it is a means to achieve ambitions, facilitate matters, and relieve distress, as Allah Almighty says: "And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him ease in his matter," "And fear Allah that you may succeed," "And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect." It is recommended to maintain the morning and evening remembrances (adhkar), and the remembrances for exiting and entering, among which is the supplication upon exiting: "In the name of Allah, I have relied upon Allah. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from going astray or being led astray, from slipping or being made to slip, from oppressing or being oppressed, from acting ignorantly or being treated ignorantly." It is legislated for a Muslim to perform ruqyah (Islamic exorcism/incantation), whether afflicted or not.
