What Is the Cure for Severe Sadness Despite Maintaining Worship and Adhkar?

Second: Do Not Restrict the Cause to Magic, the Evil Eye, or Possession. The fact that you benefit from ruqyah for a day or for some time does not necessarily mean that the cause of the problem is magic or the evil eye. A person may suffer from psychological distress, depression, or mental exhaustion. His soul may feel calm during ruqyah and dhikr, then the sadness returns afterward. For this reason, a Muslim should not make every instance of worry or sadness that befalls him a matter of magic or possession. Rather, he should consider all the Islamic and worldly causes. Third: Beware of Idleness and Isolation. Among the most serious things you mentioned is your statement: "I sit on my bed every day and use my phone until night comes." This is among the greatest causes of increasing worry and sadness.

Therefore, commit yourself to a daily program, even if it is difficult upon the soul at first: Walking daily. Leaving the house. Attending lessons of knowledge. Visiting righteous people. Reading the Quran with reflection. Occupying yourself with memorizing texts or reviewing them. Engaging in beneficial work, business, or study. Fourth: Increase in the Legislated Supplications Among the most beneficial supplications are:

This hadith comforts the believer regarding the hardships of this world and the illnesses and pains that afflict him. Everything that befalls a believer is good for him. The Prophet ﷺ said: "No calamity," and the indefinite wording of the word calamity indicates generality and inclusiveness, meaning any calamity, whether great or small, that affects a Muslim, except that it serves as an expiation for his sins. Another agreed-upon hadith details these afflictions. Whether it is fatigue, worry, distress, or grief, no hardship befalls a believing servant except that Allah raises his rank, removes his sins, and purifies him through it from his sins and acts of disobedience. Even if that hardship is merely a thorn that causes pain to the servant, and he bears its harm and pain patiently seeking reward from Allah, without resentment or complaint to anyone, Allah expiates some of the servant's sins through it as a favor and generosity from Him, the Most High, toward His Muslim servant. The hadith also demonstrates Allah's favor upon His believing servants and His mercy toward them by forgiving sins through even the slightest harm that befalls them.

Fifth: There Is No Harm in Consulting a Doctor If the sadness continues for a long period and is accompanied by: Loss of motivation. Weak desire for worship and seeking knowledge. Excessive sleep or lack of sleep. Isolation from people. Sitting for long periods without productive activity. Then there is no harm in consulting a trustworthy mental health professional, because psychological illnesses are like other illnesses.

Important Note Your statement: "I want to die sometimes." If what is meant by this is wishing for death in order to escape the severity of the trial, then the Prophet ﷺ prohibited that.

However, if these thoughts develop into serious contemplation of self-harm or suicide, then help must be sought immediately from trustworthy people or the appropriate authorities, and one should not remain alone. Final Answer: What appears from your description is that your treatment is not limited to ruqyah alone. Rather, it requires combining dhikr, dua, and ruqyah with practical means such as abandoning idleness and isolation, and gradually returning to knowledge, work, and the company of righteous people. If the matter continues and severely affects your life and worship, then consult a qualified physician, for seeking treatment is legislated, and Allah, the Exalted, has not sent down any disease except that He has sent down for it a cure. We ask Allah to expand your chest, remove your worries, and grant you a way out from every hardship and relief from every distress. Amin.
