Step 1: Symptoms of OCD

Figure 1. The symptoms of obsessive compulsory disorder (OCD)

As illustrated in figure 1 people suffering from OCD experience thoughts they


hear in their mind containing various ideas that cause the person mental pain
and agitation. These thoughts can be categorized in the following categories:

1.Ideas of Harm: A person hears ideas in his or her mind telling him to hurt
himself and others, like for example telling him that this life is not worth living
so why don’t you kill yourself. Also ideas telling a person to hurt others by
physical and verbal abuse giving him numerous arguments convincing him
that his actions are correct.

2.Ideas of Lust: Where a person hears ideas in his or her mind telling him
perverted sexual ideas and scenarios, in addition to hearing filthy words
repeated over and over again in his mind.

3. Ideas of Blasphemy: Here a person hears ideas in his or her mind insulting
Allah (God) directly or indirectly by convincing a person that Allah (God) has a
son and wife in addition to other false arguments. In addition to thoughts
telling a person distorted ideas about Islam which is the only religion
acceptable in the sight of Allah (God).

Step 2: The cause of OCD

Figure 2. Knowing the cause of OCD rom The guidance of The Quran

If we ponder upon the verses of The Quran which is the last revelation of Allah
(God) to people we know the only cause for OCD such that if we compare the
symptoms experienced by people suffering from OCD with the symptoms of the
effect of Satan on each and every person we find a perfect match between the
two as illustrated in figure 2.

So we can conclude from the perfect match between the symptoms of OCD and
the symptoms of the effect of Satan on people that the only reason why people
experience thoughts of harm, lust, and blasphemy is Satan and not a
malfunctioning of the human brain and in order to understand this further we
need to understand how does Satan affect each and everyone of us.

How does Satan affect each and everyone of us?

Allah (God) teaches us in one verse in The Quran the manner by which Satan
affects each and everyone of us and this verse is the fourth verse of chapter 114
which reads:

3
From The Evil of The Whisperer who Hides
(The Quran 114: 4)

Such that we learn from the above verse that Satan affects everyone of us by
whispering (i.e. by talking) to us and at the same time he hides from us, so the
question arises as to how can Satan talk to a person and at the same time hide
from him (i.e. a person not feeling the presence of Satan)?

The only logical answer for the previous question is that Satan matches his voice
with all regards such as tone, style, language, etc. to the voice a person hears in
his mind when he or she is thinking quietly to him or herself. In addition it
should be stated that we learn from The Quran that everyone of us has a
companion devil that is assigned to a person at birth and stays with a person till
death and this companion devil affects us by matching his voice to a persons
own voice which he or she hears in his or her mind.

An example to explain the above point is the following:

When a person leaves his house in the morning and gets into his car he hears a
thought that pops up in his mind telling him that he forgot to lock the door of his
house and as a result of this his house will be robbed and thus a person gets
agitated and confused. The one who whispered to the person in the car is his
companion devil matching his voice to the voice a person thinks with and hears
in his mind and telling him such thoughts to cause the person mental pain and
agitation (i.e. mental disturbances).

Step 3: The Cure of OCD

Figure 3. The Cure of OCD from The guidance of The Quran

If we ponder upon the verses of The Quran we can find the cure for mental
disturbances including OCD which we now know that is only caused by Satan.
The cure of OCD can be found in verse 168 of chapter 2 of The Quran shown
above.

Where we learn from the above verse what to do when we experience a thought
from our companion devil such that the first thing to do is to realize that the
thought a person just experienced containing ideas of harm, lust, and blasphemy
is from Satan and not from himself and the second thing to do is to disagree
with what Satan is telling a person in your mind as Allah (God) states in the
above verse (do not follow the footsteps of Satan).

So according to the guidance of The Quran the cure from all mental disturbances
is to realize that the thoughts experienced in ones mind containing harm, lust,
and blasphemy are not from the mind of the person but from a person’s
companion devil who is an enemy of that person and then to disagree with these
thoughts and not carrying out what Satan is telling a person.
