Supporting a Loved One Struggling with Addiction

As-salamu alaykum. If someone in your family, like a brother, is caught up in using cannabis every day, and it's been over a week now, it can be really hard. My family and I keep turning to Allah with dua, but he just doesn’t want to get help. He had quit before but fell back into it. We’re all living together and feel stuck, not sure what else to try. Has anyone dealt with this? How did you guide them back to the right path and help them find peace in their faith? Any practical advice would mean a lot.

Been there with my brother. Professional counseling that respects Islamic values is key. Also, remove any enabling factors in the home check his friends, his phone, his money. It's tough love but necessary.

This is so hard, I feel you. My family used marriage to help my brother gave him new responsibility. Not a solution alone, but paired with taubah and new environment, it worked. Allah knows best.

A week isn't a long relapse, alhamdulillah. Catch it before it becomes a year. My advice: constant, calm presence. Sit with him, recite Quran aloud in the house, make dhikr. Let the nur fill the space.
