Remember Allah
Mental illness happens from lack of faith in Allah. Humans usually remember people more often and forget Allah. Friends who are usually believed can betray him, while Allah will not leave him in any condition. This is one of the causes of mental illness that will provide other effects, such as jealousy, envy, deep sadness and so on. A calm soul is a soul blessed by God which will be pleased and satisfied and that is a high-level mental health situation. Below is presented the surah for remembering Allah.
1. Surah Ar-Ra’d Verse 28
“Those who believed and find satisfaction their hearts in the remembrance (of) Allah. No doubt, in the remembrance of Allah find satisfaction the hearts.”
2. Surah Al Fath Verse 4
“He (is) the One Who sent down [the] tranquility in(to) (the) hearts (of) the believers that they may increase (in) faith with their faith. And for Allah (are the) hosts (of) the heavens and the earth, and Allah (is) All-Knower, All-Wise.”

Purify The Soul and Heart
One of the causes of mental illness is the soul and heart that are still not clean. We still allow evil things to enter into our hearts and make our souls uneasy. We are controlled by the evil thing and can make us leave Allah. The element of qalbu disturbed means faith and devotion less or even closed as a result of less understanding, less thought from the aspect of Qur’an, so we often follow the lusts that always invite people to evil, or in other words the human being becomes ill or disturbed soul seen from an Islamic point of view.
The Quran with its surah makes the heart and soul calmer so that it can overcome the evil thing. Therefore, we need some of this surah to expel, kill evil in our hearts and souls, and prevent it from coming back.
16. Surah As-Saffat Verse 7
“And as protection against every rebellious devil.”
17. Surah Yusuf Verse 53
“And I do not acquit myself. Indeed, the soul is a persistent enjoiner of evil, except those upon which my Lord has mercy. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful.”
18. Surah Ash-Shams Verse 7-10
“And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it. And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness, He has succeeded who purifies it, And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].”
19. Surah Al-Mu’minun Verse 97-98

20. Surah An-Nas Verse 1-6
Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, The Sovereign of mankind. The God of mankind, From the evil of the retreating whisperer – Who whispers [evil] into the hearts of mankind – From among the jinn and mankind.”
