Djinn amoureux ou trouble obsessionnel : Regards croisés entre spiritualité musulmane et psychiatrie contemporaine

This interdisciplinary article explores the phenomenon of the "djinn amoureux" — an invisible entity believed in Islamic tradition to fall in love with and affect a human being — and compares it with contemporary psychiatric diagnoses such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), sleep paralysis, and schizophrenia. Drawing from both Islamic spirituality and modern clinical psychology, the author offers a balanced, comparative perspective on how these symptoms are interpreted in each paradigm. Rather than opposing the two approaches, the paper seeks to highlight areas of convergence and divergence between spiritual healing (roqya) and psychiatric treatment. A detailed symptom comparison table, an illustrative case study, and concrete recommendations for integrated care (including cross-disciplinary training and collaborative support between raqis, imams, and mental health professionals) are included. This publication is part of an ongoing research effort on Roqyatodo.com, a platform dedicated to Islamic spiritual diagnostics and case studies. It contributes to the growing field of psycho-spiritual care, calling for a therapeutic model that honors both faith and evidence-based approaches in the service of patient dignity and holistic well-being.
