​Did you know that the practice of muraqaba (meditation), widely used in the Islamic mystic (Sufi) tradition, can decrease depression? 

​In a study conducted at five middle schools in Belgium, involving about 400 students, Professor Flip Raes concluded that “students who follow an in-class mindfulness program report reduced indications of depression, anxiety and stress up to six months later.  Moreover, these students were less likely to develop pronounced depression-like symptoms.” 

Another study, from the University of California, studied patients with past depression, reports that mindfulness meditation decreases ruminative thinking and dysfunctional beliefs. Another study concluded that meditation may be as effective as antidepressant drugs in treating depression and anxiety. [1]
