Basically the past two years have been extremely stressful for my mom. Around the middle of this year, she started not making much sense and it's all around things related to Islam. Here is an example of what she says and thinks.
-She says that Allah (SWT) chose her to give her a special power where she can sometimes see whether a person is good or bad just by looking at their face. If their face is dark then they're bad and there is a shaytan controling them and if it's light then they're good. She says that Allah chose her because her Iman is very strong.
-
She claims that her whole family (and others like her doctor) are all in on some sort of revelation and a "grace" from Allah (swt) that they were chosen to do "jihad" yet they're all hiding it from her because they don't know if she's with them on the same page. She started going back to older conversation/interactions she had with others and interpreting them in a way that they're all sending her hidden messages or are trying to communicate something to her or to others indirectly.
-
She believes that each person has a shaytan (qareen) paired to them, which as far as I know is true. The questionable part however is that she believes if you loose the battle against the qareen they start controling you and your words. In other words, it's not really you doing acts and speaking, it's the qareen. She also thinks that qareens in different people can fall in love with each other and get married even if the two people are not actually married/have an intimate relationship with each other.
-
She interprets The Quran in a very unique way where she believes Allah (swt) is sending her messages through The Quran. Often times the way she interprets things do not match what's their in tafseer books.
-
She believes that COVID-19 is/was Allah's way for people to do "jihad" against their families' shayateen.
-
She over thinks regular things that happen, such as seeing a bat flying around and thinking that Allah is trying to send us/her a message with that bat. She thinks mice in the house are a sign that someone in the house is sinning. She believes that if a house floods due to a plumbing issue, it means that Allah (swt) is trying to warn her about something.
-
She claims that when you're around 40, Allah (SWT) does Hesab on you, and if you pass then all of your sins are forgiven and you can start a new. This comes in the form of an extremely difficult test to married couples. If they stay together after the hardship, then they have passed. If they get divorced, then they have failed.
-
She believes that her arm's pain is because she's doing Jihad with the prophet (Sala Allah allayhe wa sallam) and holding a sword with him in his ghazawat. On the other hand, she believes that monafeqeen have pain in their feet because they walk a lot in markets.
This is just some of what she has said over the middle of this year. Whenever we question her she gets somewhat upset and asks us why we are doubting her.
My armchair psychologist research leads me to think that it might be Bipolar Disorder, but that's obviously worthless if it comes from me.
I'm really not sure what to do here. Did anyone here go through what she's describing? Is this actually in Islam? Does she need help? What can we do to best support her?
Please help us out if you have any information/ have any leads. I'm very sorry for the long post, it's just a lot to describe.
Jazakum Allah Khair.
