As believers, we know that Allah (SWT) is the ultimate Healer and that true healing comes from Him. When facing illness or affliction, we must turn to the Quran and authentic Sunnah to seek spiritual and physical restoration. This blog post will share transformative Quranic verses and powerful du’as that can provide comfort, hope, and healing for those in need.
In English:
And if Allah should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him...(Quran 6:17)
And We send down of the Qur'an that which is cure and mercy for the believers... (Quran 17:82)
And when I am ill, it is [Allah] who cures me. (Quran 26:80)
Indeed, Allah [alone] has knowledge of the Hour and sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Aware. (Quran 31:34)
And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient.(Quran 2:155)
In Arabic:
"اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النَّاسِ، مُذْهِبَ البَأسِ، اشْفِ أنْتَ الشَّافِي، لاَ شَافِيَ إِلاَّ أنْتَ، شِفَاءً لاَ يُغَادِرُ سَقماً"
"أَعْوُذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ"
"أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ أَنْ يَشْفِيَكَ"
"رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ"
"اللهم صلي وسلم على سيدنا محمدين الهادي إلى طارق الملة. اللهم صلي وسلم على سيدنا محمد وبجههي أشرف عني كولا ماردين وألمين ووجهين وإيلا (ثم اذكروا المرض المعين) ، وعليه وصحبيح."
