The Term Waswas and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) In Islamic Perspectives

The term waswas appears five times in the Quran and seven times in seven Hadith books collections. Its interpretations by exegetes and scholars in Islamic studies vary, but one is associated with obsessive-compulsive disease (OCD). The connection between OCD and waswas is based on the fact that ideas and acts that aren't believed are repeated over and over again. Emotions and self-confidence will be affected by the impacts of this OCD. This is a study of the term waswas with the express objective of identifying its components that correspond to a contemporary understanding of OCD. This paper also will investigate the factors that determine the elements that can be associated with waswas and OCD. This is a qualitative study that employs content and document analysis to examine chosen Islamic interpretation of the al-Quran, Hadith and traditional scholar viewpoints, with an emphasis on three characteristics of OCD: obsession, compulsive behaviour, and causation. The results shows that OCD is associated with extreme waswas. OCD and waswas also related from the satan’s roles in starting of the whispers and convincing the patient tu reduce their memory to Allah. These conditions can be occur in their worship dan the faith. However, the treatment ti OCD’s patient and waswas can be treated through a religious approach. The Quran and Hadith constitute the final miracle, transcending geographical and generational boundaries. Although OCD appears to be a recent diagnosis, its essence is mentioned in the magnificent Al-Quran.


INTRODUCTION
When waswas term is discussed in an Islamic perspective, the focus of most of these studies has been a discussion from al-Quran. This paper investigates the factors that determine the elements that can be associated with waswas and OCD. The term "waswas" in al-Quran usually referred in few other words. There are five words of waswas in al-Quran which refer to keywords al-waswas, waswas, yuwaswis, fawaswas and tuwaswisu, found in four surah, which are surah al-Nas, al-A'raf, Toha and Qaf (al-Baqiy, 2002). In order to address these ethical concerns, the following reviews in detail according to al-Quran: Table 1. Waswas term in al-Quran

SENTENCE SURAT FREQUENCY KEYWORDS
Al-Nas 114:4 1 ‫الوسواس)‬ ( al-Waswas Qaf: 50:16 1 ( ‫)توسوس‬ Tuwaswisu Table 1 shows an overview of five al-Quran ayat that is surat Al-Nas 114:4-5, Al-A'raf 7:20, Toha 20:120 and Qaf: 50:16. In surat Al-Nas 114 has emphasized the importance of mankind to seek refugee with Allah in three aspects that is Lord and Cherisher (Rabb), The King or Ruler (Malik) dan The god or judge (Ilah) from religious safety brought by devil among jin and men (Wahbah Zuhaili, 2009). While in surah Al-A'raf 7:20 and Toha 20:120 the relative importance of story about Iblis whispereed to Adam and Hawa to approach the prohibited tree. While in surah Qaf: 50:16, represents power of Allah who knows all the whispers that is expressed or hidden in the depths of the human heart. According to al-Tabrasiy (1986: 216), this ayat refers to what is whispered in the soul in secret so that no creature can know. According to al-Tha'alibiy (1997: 282), waswas in this ayat focused on the whisper from cognitive perception which does not provide any benefit at all.    Hadith (1) refers to satanic whisper in prayer. Adhan approaches more on treatment against satan until it disappears. Al-Nawawiy (1929: 92) describes adhan is a great thing that embodies the fundamentals of tauhid and Islam. Adhan can turn the devil off.
Hadith (2) refers to condition of sahabat when Rasulullah SAW passed away. This Hadith also shows the word doubt become disorder, every work become atypical and the thought becomes unsteady.

Hadith (3)
Sharih al-Iman is sincerity of faith in the questions of the companions concerning their doubts in the aspect of the whisper that comes to disturb them. Al-Zarqaniy (1410: 31) described that Sharih al-Iman is associated with prayer which includes sincerity, humility and hope. This view is supported by al-Nawawi (2001: 156) who writes that Sharih al-Iman has a fear or a great sinful attitude to express a clear statement of Allah's provision as evidence of faith. This is because the words accompanied by fear and confidence are only available to those who have the perfect and clean faith of doubt and anxiety.
Hadith (4) it is encouraging to be grateful to God when it comes to the temptation of the devil in the form of anxiety disorder. In addition to enriching knowledge, especially religious and religious matters, we are confident and not easy to be deceived by the whisper of the devil trying to cause doubt in our practice.
Hadith (5) describes most of the causes of waswas from urine splashes that occur in the bathroom (Al-Ashyubi, 1996:566).
Hadith (6) refers to walhan, name of a jin that disturbs human in water aspect. According to Mubarakfuri (1985:119), waswas of water is a doubt in the cleanliness of water, the doubt of the stool that does not show a clear address and doubt about the existence of urine splashes.

Hadith (7)
waswas happens to a person that can not be denied is that he is not considered as sinful as not being revealed in the form of words and deeds. (Ibn Hajar, 2005  This Hadith has 'illah (cause of) sin against two Muslims were killed and murdered because there exists a will (' azm) to kill his opponents. This is coupled with the Allah Said: And those who seek to profane it by evildoing shall be grievously punished".

WASWAS FROM TERMS ASPECT
The word waswas refers to a voice that is not strong and conscious, which is tempted by Satan to the son of Adam (Abi al-Husain Ahmad, 1972: 76). Detailed understanding of waswas term by al-Mawardiy (tth, 379) showed that the root cause of the two is the devil and the hawa (desire). The intention meant is the break out of desire from one's soul as due to a soft whisper until self-deceited. In addition, Al-Khazin (2004: 503) described that this whisper is understood by the heart but is not heard by the hearing. This is evidenced by Basyar (2009: 53) statement that waswas starts from the heart due to repeated confusion resulting in the desire and is divided into the form behaviours from the aspect of views, conversations, hearing and actions by hands. Previous studies by mufassirin have described waswas as a hidden voice or heart whisper stemming from the devil (al-Qurtubi, 2006: 175;at-Tabari, 1994: 587;Ibn Kathir, 1999: 540). In contrast to earlier findings, however, addressed waswas term as a whisper of evil in souls and minds full of compulsion derived from a sounding voice and a vaguely slow voice that has no good effect to its actions (al-Kafawiy, 1998: 941;al-Raghib al-Asfahani, 2009: 869).

5.
Wa This study is inclined towards the view of Abu Wa 'il Hind (2004:16). This view has taken into account the views of other Muslim scholars such as al-Ghazali and Ibn Taimiyyah who agree with the existence of Satan and satan waswas and waswas of soul. While the term waswas al-qahriy or OCD branded through the views of Mawsu'ah al-Fiqhiyyah (1983:147) in third definition.

WASWAS AND OCD RELATION
Obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD is taken from two words namely obsession and compulsion. Obsessions are defined as thoughts, ideations, impulses, urges, or images that cause fear, worry and/or anxiety and compulsions are defined as stereotypical and repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to alleviate fear, worry, and anxiety caused by obsessions (APA, 2013).

i. Obsession
According to Rozanizam (2015) and Hatta (2001) Abdul Latif (2014), OCD is associated with extreme waswas. While The Clinical Encyclopedia or al-Hawi, by al-Razi used the terms "obsessions" waswas and "annoying thoughts" afkar radi'ah (Rania Awaad, Sara Ali, 2015). According by Al-Balkhi (2005), waswas is psychological disorder which has unknown causes. Tariq 'Ali (2003:28) who describes satan's role in three key aspects of obsessive compulsive disorder. First: Satan's role is only in the starting of the whispers. Second: Satan role in worshiping people by convincing OCD patients to reduce their memory to Allah SWT. Third; add to the weakening of the individual with weak faith. Hatta Sidi (2012) adds that many syndromes are associated with demonic influences; however, the theme in OCD is represented in the form of sexual, violence, religion, direction and impurities. Hence, the results obtained from the past data prove to be inhibited in the OCD. The word waswas not executed but maintained for the approval that satan role also existed even though it is not fully (Toriq 'Ali, 2003: 31)

ii. Compulsive Behaviour
According to the definition (APA, 2013), compulsions are defined as stereotypical and repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to alleviate fear, worry, and anxiety caused by obsessions (APA, 2013

Causes of Waswas and OCD
From the aspect of Islamic debate, surah al-Nas has been dedicated to the cause of humiliation among jinn and humans with the verse "(That is the slinking prompter) both among jinns and men". To detail the two creatures, this study brings some interpretation of the scholars to this verse.
Accoirding to the words of Allah SWT: Al-Jinn: Satan from jinn that whisper in human heart.
Al-Nas: Satan from mankind that enters "waswas" into the hearts of people, up to appear as true advice providers past human hearts stuck with the words and evaluate it as advice and guidance as for the satan with the temptations and whisper.

3.
Tafsir Fi Zilal al-Quran (Syed Qutb) Al-Jinn: The whisper of evil in human hearts is subtle and invisible.
Al-Nas: Devil whisper among mankind is a stronger than whisper among jinn for examples: • A bad companion who injects evil into his comrade's heart and mind while he is unaware, thinking his friend to be trustworthy. • A ruler's counsellor or advisor who 'whispers' all sorts of evil thoughts to him, trying to turn him into a tyrant. • An unscrupulous slanderer who fabricates and decorates tales to make them sound factual and convincing. • A hustler of immoral business dealings who tries to get through to people by exploiting their sensual, carnal desires.

4.
Tafsir al-Nukt wa al-'Uyun (Al-Mawardiy) Al-Jinn: Satan whispers with the way the conscience reaches the heart to obey it.
Al-Nas: Waswas among mankind to soul.
The temptation of the teaser in the human race.

5.
Tafsir al-Azhar Al-Jinn: Whisper from jinn that hidden whispered to the heart by whisper and temptation.
Al-Nas: A whisper that can be seen with the eyes and can be heard by the ear that leads to the wrong path. Table 4 shows the five Tafsir debates on surah al-Nas in the verse ( ‫من‬ ‫اْلنة‬ ‫الناس‬ ‫.)و‬ Based on the above discussion, the whisper of jinn is defined as a delicate whisper of evil that cannot be seen in the human psyche by imaginary and appeals. While for the whisper in the human race is a whisper that can be seen and heard either abusively, appealing, tempting or attracting the attention of a crime that is capable of influencing leaders, trusted friends, listeners and desires. According to Quraish Shihab (1998) the word al-Nas indicates that humans are descendants of Adam and as social beings without seeing the status of faith and disbelief. From this statement, the study summarizes the approach of Allah SWT in surah al-Nas focusing on jinn and human beings as a major factor in the eviction. The connections between OCD and waswas in terms of the elements that cause the disorder are shown here. The above-mentioned whispers are one of the most common causes of OCD and waswas in people.
Otherwise, modern medical in the world still has no clarification about the causes of OCD. However, a few sources found that there are several possible factors for OCD. Summary on the OCD causes are as: • Genetic -According to Karno (1988) and Weisman (1994) found that OCD is a psychiatric illness that involves 1-2% of the world population. Therefore, the descent is one of the causes of the occurrence of OCD. However, detailed studies of genetic have not been identified (Hanna, 2005). Those who have family members with history of OCD suffer the disease risk possibilities ('Ukashah: tth: 137). • Biological -There is a problem in neurology in certain parts of the brain. In addition, varieties like spinal meningitis and encephalitis ' is also one of the causes of OCD. According to Insel (1992:739) and Goodman (1990), OCD occurs from interference system serotonin and brain structure peculiarities especially against extrapiramidal system. • Psychological -Those with personality-consciousness are more likely to have OCD. For example, excessive emphasis on hygiene, someone who is too obedient to the rules, chatty, hard-working and not easy to give up. • Experience -Past and bitter experience are also easy to figure out how one handles the problem among them by showing OCD symptoms. Like familial-minded families since childhood being a catalyst for OCD patients emphasizes hygiene aspects. There are many cases of OCD that the individual has a history of abused or coming from a disjointed family. • Obsessive-compulsive disorders are closely related to depression or stress faced earlier. Some symptoms of obsessive-compulsive patients often also show depression. • Conflicts -Those who experience this disorder usually face conflicts of life that come from living problems. Examples include death, separation, household problems However, modern medicine lists the 7 causes of OCD. In order to harmonize these two views, the study forms a hypothesis that there is a significant relationship between the human beings towards several possible OCD factors that involve biological, psychological, and social factors. Some of the possible issues in this study are: 1.
If lung cancer can be brought down by a father's genetic who likes to smoke through sperms, thus who is the starter for the father to smoke? Of course, it is another human being.

2.
If a person is suffering from 'meningitis' and 'encephalitis' disease caused by a food or contaminated food virus, mosquito bites or other insects, droplet dots from people suffering from viral infections. This is largely due to the negligence of mankind's nutrition and personal hygiene and surrounding environment.

3.
In the event of a bitter experience, conflict, pressure is definitely due to a negative human environment.

CONCLUSION
The branding of Islam in reality has evolved to a somewhat different level of aspect of the use of language and forms of behavior. However, the basis of the mischief is not to run away from two beings, jinn and humans. To date, the cure is branded from a modern medical point of view as obsessive-compulsive disorder or in its' Arabic language known as waswas alqahriy. In view of this, the development of the disturbance in the religious aspect seems to be seen focusing on the aspects of Satan's whisper only. So that, this study has proven that the role of satan in human prejudice today is also capable of being interpreted in various forms either through electronic, digital and printed media so that humans are influenced and inclined to do something that has been seen or heard. There are some features of OCD and waswas that are comparable. The whispers of either jinn or humans are one of the parts of the cause of the disturbance. The impact of OCD and these apprehensions is felt not only in their daily actions, but also in their worship and beliefs. If not treated properly, this can lead to emotional problems and a lack of confidence. Without blaming the devil alone, this study can be developed by looking at the human as a cause of waswas and OCD. This is in line with surah al-Nas, which lists the jinn and humans as sources of waswas. All of this is a result of human actions that have evil in the soul or are induced by seduction from the devil. Hence, seek refuge in Allah SWT while trying to prevent disorder or OCD from conquering human life.
