The answer

True happiness is not found in outward appearances; rather, it is the tranquility of the heart and the expansiveness of the chest that believers experience, while those who turn away from the remembrance of Allah live a life of hardship. Moreover, the afflicted Muslim who perseveres with patience and seeks reward from Allah will be fully recompensed. Therefore, it is recommended to strengthen one's faith, consistently perform good deeds, and endure affliction with patience. The symptoms mentioned could be due to touch (from Jinn), sorcery, envy, or organic causes, and they can be treated with Ruqyah (Islamic exorcism). Satan can portray unreal events, but his plot is weak and weakens with the remembrance of Allah.
