Mental Health in Islam: Seeking Help Is Not a Weakness
Mental health is just as important as physical health — yet many Muslims hesitate to talk about it due to stigma, fear, or cultural pressure. But Islam is a religion of mercy, understanding, and compassion. Struggling mentally is not a sign of weak faith, and seeking help is not a weakness — it’s strength.

What Does Islam Say About Mental Health?
Islam recognizes the emotional and psychological struggles of human beings. Even the Prophets (peace be upon them) faced distress, sadness, fear, and anxiety.

(a) Prophet Yaqub (Jacob) عليه السلام cried so much in grief over Yusuf that he lost his eyesight.
(b) Prophet Muhammad ﷺ went through immense emotional pain during the *Year of Sorrow*, when he lost both his beloved wife Khadijah (c) The Qur’an comforts believers by acknowledging grief, hardship, and trials:

“Verily, with hardship comes ease.” — (Surah Ash-Sharh, 94:6)

This shows that mental and emotional pain is part of the human experience, and Islam does not shame you for feeling low.
