Dealing with Sin, Depression, and Black Magic: My Struggle with Mental Health and Faith

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I’m feeling a bit depressed right now. I realized I have been committing a sin called eaves dropping a lot and I had forgotten about it during this whole time. I also have done a lot of looking inside of other peoples houses not on purpose though. I feel very depressed and I know that you can’t lose hope in Allah but I’m already at the stage when you do durood that you get cursed back (I feel worse when I do durood). What am I supposed to do when a lot of these things are not repairable. (I don’t remember everyone that I have done this to). I am also in a difficulty where I am not being able to do Salaah,(mental disability called psychosis). I have black magic being done on me all the time. My is mind and my knowledge is getting messed up and rectification is extremely difficult.

Bismillaah

A: Don’t worry about all these things. Make istighfaar sincerely and thereafter recite durood shareef. There is nothing to be worried about. Don’t pay attention to the mental condition. Allah will definitely embrace you with His love, mercy and compassion.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
