Quran is a miracle that Allah revealed to His prophet (s.a.w.s) and it is a blessing for humanity. The Quran is not only a guidance for mankind but Allah has also made it a spiritual cure and healing for all types of ailments. This includes treatment of all worldly problems, physical and psychological ailments, and spiritual (evil eye, sihr, and so on.) The Creator has clearly told us that the words of the Quran are a “shifa” (healing) for all and, therefore, when used with real belief in one’s heart,
this form of treatment can bring miraculous cure to all forms of ailments. Allah says in the Quran:As for other forms of treatment, Islam does not discourage the use of treatments available to us through medical and other sciences.
On the contrary, the use of such treatments is encouraged by the teachings of the noble prophet (s.a.w.) who sought the treatment of illnesses and diseases for himself and urged his followers to do the same.
Thus, seeking medical treatment for the cure of diseases is part of the prophet’s tradition.“For every disease there is a medicine, and if that medicine is applied to the disease, he will recover by Allah’s Leave.” And he (s.a.w.) said:
“Allah has not sent down any disease but He has also sent down the cure; the one who knows it, knows it and the one who does not know it, does not know it.”
Based on the above, it is clear that Islamic teachings fully support the use of all forms of treatment because the underlying principle is that Allah has created cures for all diseases.
The key is to ensure that the right type of treatment is applied for the right type of ailment.The only condition in Islam is that all forms of treatment are allowed as long as they are not haram (against Islamic teachings).(You can also get a comprehensive Dua book on Islamic healing by clicking here.)
As for treatment,Islam also offers its believers the opportunity to treat ailments using ruqyah that, according to Islamic beliefs, can be used in the treatment of all forms of ailment. Ruqyah refers to Quranic verses (and dua) that are used to treat various ailments.
