Only the Quran can heal your heart. I repeat, only the Quran. No therapist, no music, no other human being. Only the words of Allah (swt) can deal with your heart. Only a fool would heal his wound with the knife that harmed him.
And this is why you have a ton and a half of Muslims with mental illnesses too ashamed to seek the professional help they need because we’re taught it’s a lack of faith and that if we try hard enough and read enough Quran everything will be fine. Finding comfort in faith is absolutely wonderful. It is not and never will be the only way to heal so stop putting down alternative methods and those who use them.
I need to stop fantasizing about running away to some other life and start figuring out the one I have.
