Aina Asif and Abul Hassan said that while prayer brings peace, treatment is also necessary for mental stress
Emerging Pakistani actress Aina Asif and actor Abul Hassan recently shared their thoughts on mental health. The actors, who appeared as guests on a private channel’s show, openly discussed their views.
During the interview, they talked about the increasing mental stress in the younger generation. The young actors explained that mental stress also existed in previous generations at a young age, but it was not recognized as mental stress due to a lack of awareness. However, now, because of increased awareness, this issue has become more common.
While answering a question, Aina Asif said that mental stress and anxiety are real issues. Just like we seek treatment for other diseases instead of relying only on prayer or worship, mental health problems also need treatment.
The actress mentioned that it is wrong to tell people struggling with mental stress to just pray and everything will be fine. Nowadays, even therapists give similar advice. What do they think, that people with mental issues don’t pray?
She said that prayer should definitely be performed, but these patients also need timely treatment. Therefore, therapists should focus on treatment instead of giving such advice.
Agreeing with Aina Asif, actor Abul Hassan, who recently made his debut in the drama industry, said that while prayer does give peace, there is no doubt about that, every illness has its own treatment, and it’s wrong to link everything to just prayer.
The actor explained that Allah has given us awareness, and if He has given us an illness, He has also provided a cure for it. Experts are available for treatment, and just as we visit specialists for other diseases, seeking help from psychologists and neurologists for mental health is not wrong. He believes that after therapy, we can become even closer to Allah.
