The Quran is Shifa’ (Cure) and Mercy for Believers

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

The Quran cures hearts and delivers people from shirk and kufr (disbelief), low morals and spiritual ailments is no secret. And according to some scholars, the way the Quran is a cure for spiritual ailments, it is also a cure for physical diseases.

Allah Most High says, 

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۙ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارًا 

We send down in the Quran that which is a cure and mercy for the faithful; and it increases the wrongdoers only in loss. [Quran, Al Isra’ 17:82]


يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَتْكُم مَّوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَشِفَاءٌ لِّمَا فِي الصُّدُورِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

O mankind, there has to come to you instruction from your Lord and healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers. 
[Quran, At-Tawba 10:57]

When you are distressed, or while you are seeking medical treatment, or taking your medicines, don’t forget the Quran, and ask Allah to cure your ailments.

Develop a routine of reading the Quran everyday, at least a juz (20 pages). Start with an amount you can maintain for a week, then increase it until you can maintain reading 1 juz a day. The best time to read is in the early morning hours.

May Allah make the Quran our companion and cure for our physical and spiritual ailments. Aameen.
