00:00:10--> 00:00:12

Ashafi, the healer.

00:00:13--> 00:00:15

When you've been exhausted by pain, an illness

00:00:15--> 00:00:17

has darkened the world around you, and you

00:00:17--> 00:00:19

have no more energy to walk in the

00:00:19--> 00:00:21

hallways of hospitals and the names of clinics,

00:00:21--> 00:00:23

dates of visits, and faces of sick people

00:00:23--> 00:00:25

have become blurry in your mind. I want

00:00:25--> 00:00:27

you to know a word that will cleanse

00:00:27--> 00:00:29

all of that for you and bring you

00:00:29--> 00:00:30

back to health and bring you back to

00:00:30--> 00:00:32

life. It's the name of Allah Al Shafi.

00:00:33--> 00:00:35

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala calls himself the healer.

00:00:35--> 00:00:36

Aisha

00:00:37--> 00:00:38

mentions that

00:00:38--> 00:00:40

when he would visit a sick person, he

00:00:40--> 00:00:41

would say,

00:00:44--> 00:00:46

Oh, Allah heal this person. You are a

00:00:46--> 00:00:47

Shafi.

00:00:47--> 00:00:50

You are the cure. You are the healer.

00:00:50--> 00:00:53

There is no cure but through you. Heal

00:00:53--> 00:00:55

them a healing that leaves behind no ailment.

00:00:55--> 00:00:56

And so Allah

00:00:56--> 00:00:59

calling himself a Shafi. How beautiful is that?

00:00:59--> 00:01:01

That's one of the names that we praise

00:01:01--> 00:01:02

him for. What does Shifa' mean?

00:01:03--> 00:01:04

Shifa'

00:01:04--> 00:01:06

means to come back from the edge. So

00:01:06--> 00:01:08

if I'm on a ledge and this is

00:01:08--> 00:01:08

the edge,

00:01:09--> 00:01:12

right, I'm in danger of falling off.

00:01:12--> 00:01:14

Is to come back from the edge.

00:01:15--> 00:01:15

Allah

00:01:19--> 00:01:21

says, Surat Al Baqarah, he says, and you

00:01:21--> 00:01:22

were on the edge

00:01:23--> 00:01:25

of a ditch of the fire,

00:01:25--> 00:01:27

and he saved you from it. And so

00:01:27--> 00:01:28

is

00:01:28--> 00:01:31

to come back from the edge of death

00:01:31--> 00:01:32

or illness

00:01:33--> 00:01:34

to the ledge

00:01:35--> 00:01:37

of safety and healing.

00:01:37--> 00:01:38

So

00:01:39--> 00:01:40

is a beautiful name of Allah.

00:01:40--> 00:01:42

And Allah heals

00:01:43--> 00:01:47

with a cause, and Allah heals without a

00:01:47--> 00:01:49

cause. Even the name itself sounds healing.

00:01:50--> 00:01:51

The in Arabic,

00:01:51--> 00:01:53

it has an attribute of Tafeshi

00:01:53--> 00:01:55

spreading. It's like a Shems. It's like the

00:01:55--> 00:01:57

sun. You know, that light of the sun

00:01:57--> 00:01:59

that spreads all over the world. And beyond

00:01:59--> 00:02:00

it, I want you to imagine shefa

00:02:01--> 00:02:03

healing spreading all throughout your body. And as

00:02:03--> 00:02:05

one doctor once told me, worded this very

00:02:05--> 00:02:06

beautifully. He said to me,

00:02:07--> 00:02:10

us doctors, we treat, but Allah cures.

00:02:10--> 00:02:13

And he said, when you when you practice

00:02:13--> 00:02:14

medicine,

00:02:14--> 00:02:16

you realize that Allah is a shafi. He

00:02:16--> 00:02:18

said, I don't know how many times I've

00:02:18--> 00:02:20

seen patients and I asked them, or at

00:02:20--> 00:02:22

least I asked myself and I think, how

00:02:22--> 00:02:23

is this person still alive?

00:02:24--> 00:02:25

But Allah

00:02:25--> 00:02:26

is the one who heals. Allah is the

00:02:26--> 00:02:29

one who cures. Illness in the life of

00:02:29--> 00:02:31

a person is an event that happens again

00:02:31--> 00:02:33

and again and again. It's with varying pains,

00:02:33--> 00:02:36

with many forms, and it's it's hardly avoided

00:02:36--> 00:02:38

by anybody. And even if you are healthy,

00:02:38--> 00:02:40

you see your brother in pain or your

00:02:40--> 00:02:42

mother in tears or a beloved person ill,

00:02:42--> 00:02:45

Allah decreed that the light of life dims

00:02:45--> 00:02:47

every once in a while through illness so

00:02:47--> 00:02:48

that we can remember something

00:02:49--> 00:02:52

that is similar to illness but greater, which

00:02:52--> 00:02:54

is death. Just like illness is the end

00:02:54--> 00:02:55

of liveliness,

00:02:55--> 00:02:58

death is the end of life. Allah has

00:02:59--> 00:03:01

mentioned a number of things as being healing,

00:03:01--> 00:03:02

that the Quran

00:03:03--> 00:03:03

is.

00:03:04--> 00:03:06

Allah mentions honey being

00:03:07--> 00:03:09

that from the bellies of of the bees,

00:03:14--> 00:03:18

that a food that comes out that is

00:03:18--> 00:03:20

that is variant in its

00:03:21--> 00:03:22

colors,

00:03:23--> 00:03:24

In it is

00:03:25--> 00:03:27

and it is healing for the people. And

00:03:27--> 00:03:29

so this is all from the manifestations of

00:03:29--> 00:03:32

Allah healings. The prophet he says

00:03:38--> 00:03:39

that there is no

00:03:40--> 00:03:42

ailment that Allah has sent down except that

00:03:42--> 00:03:44

he has brought down a cure with it.

00:03:46--> 00:03:47

Those who know it know it, and those

00:03:47--> 00:03:48

who don't know it don't know it. And

00:03:48--> 00:03:49

the prophet

00:03:50--> 00:03:52

he said, except for one ailment, and that

00:03:52--> 00:03:53

is

00:03:53--> 00:03:56

death or old age. There's no fountain of

00:03:56--> 00:03:57

youth that a person will be able to

00:03:57--> 00:03:59

drink from where they will get 20 years

00:03:59--> 00:04:01

younger or 30 years younger

00:04:01--> 00:04:02

again. But

00:04:03--> 00:04:05

everything else, there is a cure for it.

00:04:05--> 00:04:05

But because Allah

00:04:06--> 00:04:08

is a shafi, he heals you with the

00:04:08--> 00:04:09

smallest cause. He heals you with the most

00:04:09--> 00:04:11

unique cause. He heals you with something not

00:04:11--> 00:04:13

considered to be a cause. He heals you

00:04:13--> 00:04:14

with no cause.

00:04:14--> 00:04:16

He heals with herbs. He heals with simple

00:04:16--> 00:04:18

or compound medicines. He heals with du'a. He

00:04:18--> 00:04:20

heals with water. The prophet says

00:04:23--> 00:04:23

seek medicine,

00:04:24--> 00:04:26

oh, servants of Allah, because Allah

00:04:27--> 00:04:30

did not bring down any ailment except he

00:04:30--> 00:04:33

brought down a cure, except for death. And

00:04:33--> 00:04:35

in another narration except for old age. There's

00:04:35--> 00:04:37

no cure. There's no fountain of youth anywhere.

00:04:37--> 00:04:39

But other than that, every other ailment that

00:04:39--> 00:04:40

exists

00:04:40--> 00:04:43

has a cure. The prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam

00:04:43--> 00:04:43

says,

00:04:44--> 00:04:46

those who know it know it, and those

00:04:46--> 00:04:47

who don't know it don't know it. So

00:04:47--> 00:04:49

what does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala want from

00:04:49--> 00:04:51

us? He wants us to return to him,

00:04:51--> 00:04:53

to return to him with our contentment,

00:04:53--> 00:04:54

return to him with our prostration,

00:04:55--> 00:04:57

return to him with our repentance, return to

00:04:57--> 00:04:58

him with seeking forgiveness, return to him with

00:04:58--> 00:05:01

charity, return to him with confession. There's no

00:05:01--> 00:05:03

hospital in the world that will heal us

00:05:04--> 00:05:05

if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't decree it.

00:05:05--> 00:05:07

There's no doctor in the world that can

00:05:07--> 00:05:09

diagnose your illness except if Allah subhanahu wa

00:05:09--> 00:05:12

ta'ala wills that. Doctors treat, but Allah subhanahu

00:05:12--> 00:05:15

wa ta'ala cures. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,

00:05:18--> 00:05:20

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, whatever Allah grants

00:05:20--> 00:05:23

the people of mercy, none can withhold it.

00:05:23--> 00:05:25

And whoever Allah restricts, then who can open

00:05:25--> 00:05:27

it after Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And Ibrahim

00:05:27--> 00:05:29

alayhi salam, he tells us

00:05:30--> 00:05:33

that when I become sick, Allah

00:05:33--> 00:05:35

is the one who heals me. And Ayub

00:05:35--> 00:05:38

alayhi salam who was exhausted by years of

00:05:38--> 00:05:40

illness that scattered his family and scattered his

00:05:40--> 00:05:42

wealth, and the most optimistic of people had

00:05:42--> 00:05:44

lost hope in him being healed.

00:05:44--> 00:05:46

Ayoub alayhi salaam, he says, my lord,

00:05:47--> 00:05:49

I have been touched by harm, and you

00:05:49--> 00:05:51

are the most merciful of those who show

00:05:51--> 00:05:54

mercy. And just like that, the doors of

00:05:54--> 00:05:55

the heavens are opened

00:05:56--> 00:05:59

and the command descends from above the 7th

00:05:59--> 00:06:01

heaven for his burden soul. In a moment,

00:06:01--> 00:06:04

years of toil are reversed. So then the

00:06:04--> 00:06:04

question becomes,

00:06:06--> 00:06:08

when you are sick, do you ask Allah

00:06:08--> 00:06:09

to heal you?

00:06:09--> 00:06:12

As you're rotating from doctor to doctor, as

00:06:12--> 00:06:14

you're going from clinic to clinic, are you

00:06:14--> 00:06:15

asking Allah

00:06:16--> 00:06:17

to heal you? You know, there are many

00:06:17--> 00:06:18

people who go through

00:06:19--> 00:06:20

the the trials of illness,

00:06:21--> 00:06:23

And they're asking for help from everybody,

00:06:24--> 00:06:26

but they don't spend time asking Allah subhanahu

00:06:26--> 00:06:28

wa ta'ala. Why would you seek other than

00:06:28--> 00:06:30

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala? Why would you give

00:06:30--> 00:06:32

so much of your energy and your hope

00:06:32--> 00:06:34

and place it in other than Allah? This

00:06:34--> 00:06:35

isn't the first time you've been sick. Right?

00:06:35--> 00:06:38

You've been sick before. Who's the one who

00:06:38--> 00:06:39

healed you? Wasn't it Allah

00:06:40--> 00:06:43

Then why then in this sickness,

00:06:43--> 00:06:45

is it too much for him? Allah

00:06:46--> 00:06:47

says at the beginning of

00:06:51--> 00:06:53

blessed is the one in whose hand is

00:06:53--> 00:06:55

the kingdom and he is able to do

00:06:55--> 00:06:57

all things. And the stories of healing are

00:06:57--> 00:06:59

too many to count. The story of healing

00:06:59--> 00:07:02

we know that we've heard from people are

00:07:02--> 00:07:04

too many, and I'm sure that you all

00:07:04--> 00:07:06

have many to share. Let us all have

00:07:06--> 00:07:07

hope in Allah

00:07:08--> 00:07:09

Let us remember that Allah

00:07:10--> 00:07:11

is a Shafi'i, and we ask Allah

00:07:12--> 00:07:14

by his beautiful name and attribute,

00:07:14--> 00:07:15

a Shafi'i,

00:07:15--> 00:07:18

that his blessed healing hand wipe over everybody

00:07:18--> 00:07:19

who is sick and that Allah

00:07:20--> 00:07:22

replace our flesh with better flesh and our

00:07:22--> 00:07:24

bones with better bones and that Allah

00:07:25--> 00:07:27

grants all of our sick brothers and sisters

00:07:27--> 00:07:29

the combination of wellness

00:07:29--> 00:07:32

and reward. Oh, Allah. You are our Shafi.

00:07:32--> 00:07:35

Heal our physical elements and heal our spiritual

00:07:35--> 00:07:37

meet you.

00:07:35--> 00:07:37

meet you.
