THE
HOLY QURAN -PART 4
-
CURE FOR ALL AILMENTS
The Holy
Quran contains cure for all ailments, physical and spiritual.
“We sent down in the Quran that which is a cure and mercy for the
faithful”.
(17:82)
“Say: For those who have faith, it (Quran) is a guidance and healing;
but as for those who are faithless, there is a deafness in their ears
and it is lost to their sight”.
(41:44)
The Holy
Prophet (saww) has said,
“The healing of my Ummah lies in three things: A verse from the book of
Allah, eating honey and Cupper lancet”.
(Aamaali
of Shaykh Sadooq)
A man
came once complained about the pain in his chest. The Holy Prophet (saww)
said, “Seek healing from the Quran for
Allah says: ‘It is a healing for what is
in the breasts’”. (‘Uddah al-Da’ee)
Talking
about the greatness of Quran, Imam Ali bin Abi Talib (as) said,
“Then Allah sent to him the Book as a light whose flames cannot be
extinguished, a lamp whose gleam does not die, a sea whose depth cannot
be sounded, a way whose direction does not mislead, a ray whose light
does not darken, a separator (good from evil) whose arguments do not
weaken, a clarifier whose foundations cannot be dismantled, a cure which
leaves no apprehension for disease…Allah has made it a quencher of the
thirst of the learned, a bloom for the hearts of religious jurists, a
highway for the ways of the righteous, a cure after which there is no
ailment…”
(Nahjul-Balaghah)
In
another sermon, Imam Ali (as) also said regarding Quran:
“Seek cure from it (Quran) for all your ailments
and seek its assistance in your distresses. For verily it contains cure
for the biggest diseases namely: unbelief, hypocrisy, revolt and
misguidance”.
