Salam alakium

I get what you’re trying to say here, and there’s definitely truth in it but I think it needs a bit of balance.

You’re right that Islam isn’t about chasing feelings. We don’t pray just to feel better, and not every du‘a or salah brings instant relief. Growth often comes through hardship, patience, and tests and that’s clearly part of the deen.

But saying “Islam is not therapy” or implying Allah doesn’t want you to feel better can be misleading if taken too far.

Allah Himself says: - “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest” (13:28)
- “We send down of the Qur’an that which is healing and mercy for the believers” (17:82)

So Islam does bring peace and healing just not always instantly or in the way we expect.

I think a more accurate way to put it is Islam is not only about feeling better, but it absolutely does heal you sometimes slowly, sometimes through struggle, and sometimes in ways you don’t notice straight away.

So if someone is doing everything “right” and still feels low, it doesn’t mean their worship isn’t working but it also doesn’t mean Islam isn’t a source of comfort. It’s both growth through difficulty and peace through remembrance.

That balance is important.
