    Brilliant video mashallah. May Allah reward you for making it. Its great to talk about the Islamic perspective on this because I've also heard lots of people saying that mental health issues are only because of lack of imaan or shaitaan messing with you. Mashallah you gave a very balanced perspective. May Allah help everyone suffering from OCD or other mental health issues because its very difficult especially because no one can see or understand your pain alot of the time.

    A very important issue brother. May Allah SWT reward you and help you overcome your remaining challenges regarding OCD. Only those who have gone through it know the distress it causes and the grip it has over your mind! I wish wellness to all my brothers and sisters out there. Remember, Allah SWT is The Most Merciful. With this in mind, do your best and be in hope that He will accept our good deeds done for His sake. He knows our intentions

    Brother, you have given me hope. I am 19 and have had OCD since as long as I can remember, maybe even since before the age of 9. No one has understood my problem and said I just need to block it and not give the thoughts any attention, and also it is all just Waswas which it is but the constant compulsions are the signs of a mental illness. Recently after getting closer to Allah and the deen and strengthening my Iman, my OCD has affected my deen too, prayers, wudhu, duas. I have this issue where my mind keeps generating phrases about Islam that I dont want them to generate then I have to pause what im doing and say the right thing instead and what I feel Allah will be happy with, but Allah knows whats in my heart more than anyone and my true intentions are, so I know all these obsessions and compulsions are ridiculous deep down, but the anxiety and stress it causes is so bad.

    My daughter suffers from ocd. She has put in a lot of effort and to a large extent manages anxiety well while not doing the compulsions. However it’s still hard as most of the times after praying she believes that she hasn’t prayed at all. Although not only she prays but also does not miss rakas. The false memories of not praying or doing something sinful really cause her anxiety as she believes the memories

    As-salamualaikum, I have also experienced this, what to do if during recitation of Surah Fatiha there is a feeling that I am pronouncing it wrong( like its sounding different, some letters are inaudible, etc), it feels like I have to recite very loudly in able to correctly recite the surah. Same goes for tashahhud as well. What to do in this case ?

    • @nordicmuslim
      @nordicmuslim  Рік тому +4

      Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullah!
      That's a common theme for Muslims who have OCD and also something I've dealt with and to some extent still do, especially with the last verse of Al-Fatiha. What has helped me is to read these parts really slowly where I have doubt about the correctness of my pronunciation.
      But also when it's just a feeling that you're pronouncing it wrong but you're actually not sure you're pronouncing it wrong then you just need to learn to ignore it and eventually it goes away (part of the ERP therapy also in the course I see you signed up for alhamdulillah).
      May Allah grant you swift and complete cure, aameen

I cant touch anything i have to wash my hands even after touching anything and shower evey time i use the toilet so I don't eat or drink in fear of using the bathroom very limtid food and water. It is affecting my children lifes immensely I have become withdrawn from friends and family fear of contamination I'm home schooling my youngest child he is autistic i dont want that life for my chidren or my self. Everything that has been worn outside clothing gets stripped at the door in a basket at the entrance of the front door fear of contamination of outdoors for my chidren ita difficult the list goes on.

    Assalamu Alaikum Brothers and Sisters,
    I had OCD for, safe to say, 2 years, but I was only recently diagnosed with it.
    It's caused me to miss out on great educational opportunities. It also has caused me to be not accepted in certain circles of people due to my weird patterns of behaviour.
    This initially had an effect on my self-esteem and has caused me to be in loops of depression.
    But overtime i have been asking Allah for help and have been slowly accepting of my OCD, my loved ones were very understanding when they came to hear about my mental health condition.
    Im still struggling, as my OCD is really extreme. I take up to one hour to eat a meal, and take sometimes, one-two hour in the bathroom
    Please pray for me, i am only 17 and i dont wish to spend the rest of my life battling with myself and making my loved ones worry.

      Yes subhan'Allah you're so right, I had my feet often cracked and sometimes bleeding cause of the constant washing (which made the skin really dry) and hot & dry climate, my roommate of later years was treating me bad cause of my OCD and the washing room was also shared so several brothers annoyed me with their comments when I was making wuduu plus I had the habit of pre-washing my clothes by hand in the sinks there before putting them in the washing machine and I used to wash my clothes basically every other day so it was really torture when looking back at it now and I don't wish it upon anyone.
      However the positive thing is that Allah can cure everything and OCD is treatable and alhamdulillah I'm so much better now and it's not the main concern in my life anymore and your son can get better too insha'Allah. You can try going through my course together with your son and make him do the exercises there, it can be a good start.
      I also was worried that I would not be able to get married with my OCD and especially dealing with kids but now when I'm better it's not going to be an issue insha'Allah whenever I do get married insha'Allah.

      @nordicmuslim  9 місяців тому +3

      Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullah!
      Your situation will only get better with treatment insha'Allah, not worse.
      And ERP doesn't mean you have to stay away from the deen, it'll insha'Allah help you practice the deen more easily as it is supposed to be.
      Also, ERP will be gradual insha'Allah and you won't be dealing with your worst obsessions/compulsions. And once you have success with overcoming the milder compulsions, taking on worse ones will also seem easier, but that's later insha'Allah. It's a gradual approach.
      So don't be afraid of ERP because it's until now considered as a very effective and practical way for overcoming compulsions.
      Maybe a good idea is to also include a family member or a close friend you can trust to help you with the exercises in the course.
      And if you can afford, getting some ERP sessions with the help of a professional Muslim therapist experienced with OCD is also always a good idea. I can recommend Tasfiyah Therapy who can be found on Instagram.

    Brother I'm dealing with severe OCD. I'm at the stage where I don't want to exist, and I'm trying to self-harm. I can't endure this any longer. My mind is now out of my control, and I find myself shouting at my parents. OCD interferes with my prayer; it takes 6, 7, or 8 hours daily. I'm tired; I can't endure this anymore."

    • @nordicmuslim
      @nordicmuslim  10 місяців тому +4

      May Allah ease your situation. With as many hours as it takes from you daily, your OCD is like a full-time job that one hates and that doesn't bring any benefit. So understandably it makes you feel exhausted.
      But don't give up, because OCD is treatable. And imagine even if you get 50% better, that's 3-4 hours less of this torture. You can reach that within a few weeks insha'Allah if you put in the work. And after that you can continue getting better and better with the right tools and support.
      Please continue going through the course (I noticed you had already signed up) and please do consider getting an appointment with a psychiatrist too cause in such an extreme case as yours some meds might be a good idea, at least in the early stages of your recovery.
      May Allah grant you full shifaa, aameen!

      He definitely has OCD and has to seek help to deal with it. Going through my course together with you can also be a good start. Doesn't mean Shaytan is really after him when he's dealing with this medical condition, rather it's a common misconception amongst the Muslims and can add to the depression a person suffering from OCD is already dealing from.
      Make sure he takes some action to get better and seeks help cause I was in a very similar situation in my latest years in Madinah when the masjid was right next to my dorm but it was a huge struggle to pray in it and lot of the times I didn't cause of my cleanliness related OCD.

    • @ShayaanKhan

      I know someone who had this EXACT fear of fainting during salaah. So he would never go to the masjid to pray and prayed at home.
