Salam brother,
Why is it so hard to read the book which is designed to help people like me!! I have been searching for an answer to my mental health problem since 2007!!! 13 years gone in a blink of an eye!!! Even though there are lot of downtime but there are improvements in dealing the problem to lead this life as well. However, inside I am dying and became a prisoner of mind!! Why can’t I continue reading the book. What’s holding me back? The book is just sitting in my app!!!

It’s impossible to say; there could be many causes. However, if you can’t concentrate despite your best effort it’s probably a good idea to see a doctor to work out if there is a medical cause. Many medical causes for a lack of concentration.

Dear brother Saeed,
If I may say something even though this is not my place since I’m no mental health professional nor a religious scholar but from my own experience I can tell you that if you make enough dua to Allah SWT to guide you and help you then I’m sure the help will come. You will be able to not only read the book but get the most out of it. Remember all diseases have a cure and the cure is with Allah.
