Attaining Spiritual Cure

Dear Islamic brothers! اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه! The entire Quran, in particular Sūrah al-Fātiḥah, contains cure. Visiting a doctor to receive treatment is permissible as long as it does not involve anything that opposes Islamic law. Alongside this, we should develop a mindset of seeking spiritual treatment too.

The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: “Before the creation praised Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty mentioned His own praise. Cure yourselves through this praise.

The noble Companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ asked, “O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! What is this praise?”

The beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم answered, “Sūrah al-Fātiḥah and Sūrah al-Ikhlāṣ.” Then he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, فَمَنْ لَمْ یَشْفِہِ الْقُرْآنُ فَلَا شَفَاہُ اللہُ “Allah Almighty will not cure the one who does not attain a cure from the Quran.”[2]

Dear Islamic brothers! These narrations clearly encourage us to seek relief through the Quran, especially from Sūrah al-Fātiḥah. We should develop a mindset of seeking a cure from the Quran no matter how minor or serious the illness is. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه! Allah Almighty will shower His mercy upon us and grant us relief.
