In Islam, seeking both physical and spiritual healing is a profound concern for believers. The teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) provide invaluable guidance for alleviating pain and invoking healing through Allah.
This article delves into a specific invocation for healing, steering clear of duplicate content, while offering an in-depth understanding of its significance and application.
The account of Abû ‘Abdillah ‘Uthmân ibn Abî Al-‘ṣ (may Allah be pleased with him) introduces a potent healing invocation. One day, when ‘Uthmân complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about a pain he felt, the Prophet’s reply was both straightforward and potent: “Place your hand on the painful area and say three times: ‘In the name of Allah!’ Then, repeat seven times: ‘I seek refuge with Allah’s might and power from the evil I experience and fear.'”
In Arabic:
“بِسْمِ اللَّهِ”
Phonetic: “Bismillah” (Repeat three times) Followed by repeating seven times: In Arabic:
“أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ”
Phonetic: “A’oodhu bi ‘izzati Allahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa uhaadiru”
In Arabic:
“اللَّهُمَّ اشْفِنِي شِفَاءً لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا”
Phonetic: “Allahumma shfini shifa’an la yughadiru saqaman.” Translation: “O Allah, heal me with a healing that leaves no ailment behind.”
This invocation, as prescribed by Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), serves as a source of both spiritual and physical healing. It’s grounded in faith in Allah, The Supreme Healer, and the belief that this invocation will bear positive results.
By uttering “In the name of Allah,” we acknowledge that all healing emanates from Him and place our trust in His mercy.
Repeating the phrase “I seek refuge with Allah’s might and power from the evil I experience and fear” seven times, we seek divine protection from the pains and ailments we endure.
This invocation – Dua stands as a remedy that believers are urged to implement. It’s mightier than many medicines because it necessitates unwavering trust in Allah, the Master Healer. Furthermore, the Prophet’s instruction to touch the pained area emphasizes the role of closeness and empathy in the healing journey.
In Islam, invoking healing symbolizes trust in Allah as the Supreme Healer. This simple yet potent invocation – Dua can offer solace and healing to suffering believers. It accentuates the importance of faith, trust in Allah, and seeking His protection during trying times. By practicing this invocation, believers can find the spiritual and physical healing they need to overcome life’s challenges.
