Question

How do we cure depression? I pray five times a day. I am a religious type of person and I feel that Allah Paak is so close to me, but I always had depression. Can you please help me and tell me why this happens.

Answer

There is no depression. Think of the mercy of Allah Ta`ala repeatedly. May Allah Ta`ala grant you cheer and happiness for His sake. Sometimes some type of anxiety and worry is beneficial for most individuals as this prevents them from wrong and disobedience.

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