Mental Health is the term used to presence a need or desire to evaluate the wellness of the mind. Moreover, it is suggested that one is experiencing good mental health when they are feeling and expressing a “satisfactory level of emotional and behavioral adjustment.” Ironically, the study of mindfulness suggests however, that in order for the mind to be determined as healthy, it must engage all five senses of the body, actively and regularly. Islam affirms this idea in that Allah constantly prescribes reflection on nature and an attitude of gratitude as the solution to most, if not all, human dysfunction. Islam also argues that if the heart is not “sound” that no other organ in the body can be sound. Therefore, purification of the heart through submission to Allah T’ala, seems prerequisite for sustained mental wellness. The combined expressions of heart and mind manifest in words and actions, and the Muslim should remain mindful of their expression, alone and with others. Our words and actions are our responsibility. However, Shaytan whispers into hearts of humans and jinn with a single goal of making us ungrateful to Allah and unresponsive to people in our lives who have rights upon us--family members and our neighbors. The soul is the actor/subject that concerns the Muslim. It is the soul that is held accountable for our words and deeds. Therefore, it seems that the liberation of the soul from the temptations of self and Shaytan is a Muslim’s life work. Fortunately, Allah is merciful and in his mercy sent us and all of humanity an example, in Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) of how to overcome the desires of the self and whispers of Shaytan. Indeed, this overcoming is wrought with toil and struggle, however fighting the suggestions of Shaytan and honoring the rights of others are the most critical concerns of the individual practicing Islam. For indeed, it is mentioned that ALL of our words and deeds are recorded in a book. Allah states that, “not a single leaf falls from a tree but that it is recorded in a book.”
