The Qur'an and the Sunnah speak openly about grief, anxiety, despair, and distress, and Muslim scholars have written on the health of the heart and mind for centuries. These questions and answers explore how faith in God anchors emotional well-being, how believers can navigate hardship and seek treatment, and what the tradition teaches about purifying the soul. They also examine contemplation and mindfulness, and why awareness of the self cannot be complete without awareness of God.
