As Salam alikum sisters
I need some advice
I know a muslim who is struggling with the deen and having trouble she also suffers from depression and has been isolating herself and I am not sure how to help her I invite her to go to muslim community events and to the masjed but she declines or says she wants to go then she cancels at the last minute.
any advice will help I have given her books and websites to read offered to help her with her prayers but nothing seems to help

there's a nice book called "Dont Be Sad" it uses reasoning and examples from Quran, hadith, and seerah for why we should not be sad. it helped me, alhamdullila! http://www.islamicbookstore.com/b7651.ht...
