Question:
Asalaamu alaykum dear shuyukh,
My mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Can you please explain the origin of this disease and its cure. The Prophet (saw) said there is a cure for every disease except old age and cancer. She will not wear tawiz or have Qu’ran recited over her as suggested in Sheikh Nazim’s book “Natural Medicine”. I don’t know what to do. Can you please explain this disease and its cures and give me some du’a to make for her.
May Allah bless you for your tireless support of the Ummah, amin.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Allah bless him) said that mental illness is a form of mercy (rahma) because responsibility is lifted. You can read Fatiha over water 40 times and let her drink from that. Or you can read Fatiha in your heart any time you are in her presence. Give sadaqa on her behalf, even small.
