The Sufficient Answer for Those Who Ask About the Healing Medicine or the Illness and the Cure is a book written by Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (691-751 AH). Its chapters address the topic of reforming and correcting the soul, and refining it according to an Islamic perspective, as the reader moves through its chapters, passing through advice and rebuke. The book addresses the ills of the soul that commands evil, exposing its flaws and mistakes, clarifying the power of desires over it, and warning against the devil's plots and tricks that aim to lure the soul into sin and wrongdoing, and to settle for worldly life and its adornments.

It is an Islamic book that deals with Islamic psychology with rational and transmitted evidence.

The reason for writing it was to direct a question to Ibn al-Qayyim, which was: “What do the honorable scholars, the imams of religion, may God be pleased with them all, say about a man who is afflicted with a calamity and knows that if it continues, it will ruin his worldly life and the hereafter? He has tried hard to ward it off from himself by every means, but it only increases in intensity and severity. What is the trick to ward it off? What is the way to uncover it? May God have mercy on the one who helps the afflicted, and God helps the servant as long as the servant helps his brother. Give us your fatwa, and you will be rewarded. May God Almighty have mercy on you.”
