Can a Muslim suffering from severe psychological burdens and problems, reaching the point of hating life and wishing for death, and feeling that God does not answer his prayers or care about him despite his repeated attempts at treatment and strong faith, find a solution to his suffering?
Allah Almighty sees His servants and is aware of their conditions; He tests them so that they humble themselves and turn to Him. He raises the ranks of the patient and expiates their sins, as happened with the prophets and the righteous. A Muslim should renew their life by moving away from painful memories, seeking righteous friends who help them obey Allah, and maintaining regular prayers and adherence to acts of worship. For the treatment of physical and psychological pain, it is recommended to consume honey and black seed, perform cupping (hijama), drink Zamzam water with the intention of healing, perform (exorcism/recitation of Quranic verses), make abundant supplications, avoid wishing for affliction or death, and refrain from contemplating suicide. One must show kindness to parents and not blame them, for honoring them is obligatory and their right is immense.
