Is praying Qiyam al-Layl the cause of being spied upon by jinn, and are psychiatry and psychiatric medications not for Muslims?
What is obligatory upon you is sincere repentance, adherence to Allah's Sharia, increasing in the remembrance of Allah, reciting the Quran, and supplicating. What the ruqyah practitioner advised you—to abandon the remembrances—is a mistake; for remembrance (dhikr) and prayer are among the greatest means of expelling devils and attaining healing. And the statement that psychotherapy is not for Muslims is a mistake; for Allah has sent down a cure for every disease, and seeking treatment is a commandment of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Therefore, you should consult a trustworthy psychiatrist, and utilize the consultation section on our website. You should also improve your perception of your Lord, strengthen your self-confidence, accept your life with optimism, and strive to expel and combat negative thoughts and obsessive whispers.
