Ibn Bazz: My wife suffers from a psychological disease that causes her to fear everything and causes her loneliness

My wife suffers from a psychological disease that causes her to fear everything and causes her loneliness. Another person has the same case and can not go to the Masjid (mosque) to perform Salah in congregation. He wants to know a remedy for his case apart from soothsayers and charlatans. 

A: Every disease that Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) wills to exist has its cure. However, some know it

and others do not. Allah has made the revelation He made to His Prophet (peace be upon him) as good, guidance, and remedy for all sufferings including the physical and psychological diseases. This remedy is beneficial for the slaves and brings many good things that none but Allah knows their number. Man may experience certain conditions that cause him to fear without knowing the reason behind it. 

Allah makes His revelation through His Prophet (peace be upon him) good, safety, and a remedy for many sufferings that none but Allah knows their number. 

I advise those two questioners to use the revelation of Allah to get safety, tranquility, peace, and protection from satanic tricks. Among these things is reciting Ayat­ul­Kursy (the Qur’anic Verse of Allah’s Chair, Surah Al­Baqarah, 2:255) after each Prayer following the Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah). In this Ayah, Allah (Exalted be He) says, Allâh! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al­Hayyul­Qayyum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists). To the end of the Ayah. 

This Ayah is the best and greatest Ayah in the Qur'an, for it stresses the principle of Tawhid and devotion to Allah (may He be Praised) and shows His sublimity and that He is the Ever Living, the Owner of everything and nothing weakens Him. 

When a man reads this Ayah after each Prayer and before going to bed, it protects him from every evil. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said that whoever recites it once before going to bed, there will be a guardian appointed over him from Allah who will protect him during the night and Satan will not be able to approach him until morning. The patient should try this proven prescription and he will not see any harmful thing as the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not tell anything except the truth. 

He is also advised to recite Say (O Muhammad صلى االله عليه وسلم): "He is Allâh, (the) One. and Al­ Mu`awwidhatayn (Surahs Al­Falaq [number 113] and Al­Nas [number 114]) after each Prayer.

Reciting these Surahs is one of the causes of safety and treatment for all harms. It should be noted that Surah Al­Ikhlas Say (O Muhammad صلى االله عليه وسلم): "He is Allâh, (the) One. is equal in reward صلى االله عليه and merits to one third of the Qur'an. These three Surahs, namely, Say (O Muhammad He is Allâh, (the) One. , Say: "I seek refuge with (Allâh), the Lord of the daybreak, and I seek refuge with (Allâh) the" :)وسـلم Lord of mankind should be recited once after Zhuhr, `Asr, and `Isha' Prayers and three times after Fajr and Maghrib Prayers. When going to the bed, these Surahs should be recited three times according to the Hadith authentically reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) in this respect. 

Another thing to obtain peace of heart and mind, safety, and tranquility is to seek refuge with the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He created three times in the morning and in the evening as follows, I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He has created. The authentic Hadith indicates that this is a means of keeping safe from all evil. 

He may recite In the name of Allah, when Whose name is mentioned nothing on Earth or in Heaven can cause harm, and He is the Hearer, the Knower. three times in the morning and evening. The Prophet (peace be upon him) 

said that whoever says this in the morning three times is saved from any harm until the evening, and whoever says this in the evening three times is saved from any harm until the morning. These Adhkar which are taken from the Qur'an and Sunnah are among the greatest means of warding off evil and obtaining peace. 

Every believing man and woman should recite them regularly with sincerity and faith, putting his trust in Allah and depending upon Him, for He is the One who manages everything and in Whose Hand is giving, deprival, benefit, and harm, and He is the Owner of everything. 

He should also believe in the Messenger (peace be upon him) as the most truthful one, for he 

never speaks of (his own) desire. It is only a Revelation revealed to him as Allah says, By the star when it goes down (or vanishes). Your companion (Muhammad صلى االله عليه وسلم) has neither gone astray nor has erred. Nor does he speak of (his own) desire. It is only a Revelation revealed.
