الله said:
Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى says:
وَنُنَزِّلُ
مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاء وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
“And We send
down of the Qur'aan that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe.”
[al-Isra’ 17:82]
The correct view is
that the word min
(translated here as “of”) serves to explain the nature of the Qur'aan as a
whole,
not to refer to parts of it and not other parts.
The Qur'aan
is the complete healing for all mental, spiritual and physical diseases, all
diseases of this world and the Hereafter. But not everyone
is guided to use it for the purpose of healing. If the sick person uses the Qur'aan
for healing in the proper way, and applies it to his disease with sincerity, faith,
complete acceptance and firm conviction, fulfilling all its conditions, then no disease
can resist it.
How can disease
resist the words of the Lord of heaven and earth which, if He had revealed it
to the mountains they would have crumbled and if He had revealed it to the
earth it would have broken it apart? There is no sickness, spiritual or physical, but in the Qur'aan
there is that which indicates its remedy, its cause and how to protect against
it for those who are blessed with understanding of His Book.
