Shifa': Remedy
by Amer A. AL-Zubaidi
The original word Shifa’ has a rich connotation in the Arabic language, and conveys many meanings. Shifa’ has been repeated several times in the Glorious Qur’an and in the Nabiy (Sallallahu Alayhi Waalihi Wa Salam)’s ahadith. … . Mankind suffers from different kinds of illnesses, diseases, and hardships, which carry pain, sadness, and distress. … . True believers, Muslims are strong, and Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’Ala) tests their faith during the time of sufferings and hardships. They must put their trust in Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’Ala) and seek His protection from becoming weak, so that they can successfully face any attack to destroy them, whether it be via illnesses and diseases, or through unjustness and unfairness. … . Justice and the rights of human beings are being ignored, resulting in many people being victimized, and experiencing sadness, painful suffering, difficulties and hardships. Hatred and discrimination, daily torture (physical or psychological), terror, and humiliation are becoming the norms of life. True healing come from a combination of prayers and medical treatments, regardless of the sources used. Protection against illnesses and diseases can come only through Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’Ala). He is the One Who heals the sick, and fills the hearts of the depressed with joy, as He pleases, InSha'Allah. … . O’ Lord, we ask and pray that You give us the gift of good health, and the wisdom to serve You well in this state of good health, and shower us with your forgiveness and blessings. O’ Lord, accept our prayers and grant our request to ease our lives and burdens, Ameen.
