Life #21 How to use the Quran for healing

How do I use the Quran for healing?

Assalamu Alaikum Warhamatullahi wabarakatuh.

So how do you use the Quran to

heal you? Whether it be sicknesses,

maybe you have a cut or a scratch,

can you use the Quran

and heal that pain,

that sickness?

Absolutely.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells us in the

Quran

Now this verse Allah clearly says that we've

sent down this Quran

as a source of cure and shefa.

And it's also a mercy especially

to the believers.

Now there's a number of things to keep

in mind with this verse that'll help you

understand

and how to use the Quran

as healing.

Number 1,

the Quran Allah A'Souza

says,

We've sent down from the Quran Shefa. What's

the benefit in knowing that? The Quran ultimately

it comes from Allah. This is Allah's words.

So in order for the Quran to be

a cure for you, what must you have?

You must have a connection with the author.

You must have a relationship with Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala. So you've got to live the

life in order for the Quran to work

for you. There are so many brothers and

sisters I meet them every now and then

who don't

practice Islam.

They want the Quran to cure their headaches

and pain and all of their sicknesses.

It won't work this way. It requires

us to have a steady and consistent connection

with our creator

The second thing is really interesting in the

same ayah. Allah then says it is a

it is a mercy for the believers.

Do you notice the ayah doesn't say

that it's a mercy for Muslims.

Allah singled out and focused on believers.

What's the benefit of knowing that? Well brothers

and sisters,

in order for anything to be beneficial

for you and I in our redeem

it has to have Amen.

You have to have the kind of faith

that's a quality in you. So now follow

me on this. There are 2 groups that

Allah constantly makes reference to when it comes

to iman in the Quran.

There is Al Adhina Aminu and then there

is the Mu'min.

Al Adhinah Amenu is the one that recognizes

this is part of Islam, this is part

of my faith, but they don't actually practice

it.

So they recognize right from wrong but they

don't necessarily implement it. They may say, you

know, I'm not ready to do that or

I'm struggling in that area but I know

that's the right thing to do. That's a

Ladina Aminu.

Then you have the second category the Mu'min

or the Mu'mina.

This is the actual believer.

This is the label.

Iman is a quality in their life and

they're in it and they're in it to

stay.

So whether they know it or not as

long as they know it's part of their

faith they will practice it and it becomes

a quality.

It's a part of their life. Nobody can

take it away from them.

So this ayah

highlights

the second group, the mumineen.

So that tells you and I

that Islam has to be a quality and

a part of your life. It can't just

be something you turn to, like if it's

a bottle of Tylenol or Advil.

When I need it I'll use it. It's

got to be a part of you even

during the good times, even when you're perfectly

healthy.

So the Prophet alaihis salatu wasallam told us

that as long as you're close to Allah

during the easy times then Allah subhanahu wa

ta'ala will respond to you during the tough

times.

So it's very explicit and clear.

The key to making Quran work for you

and use it as medicine or healing

all lies in your connection

with Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. You stay connected

with Him, you have a consistent relationship with

Him. Bi izni lahi ta'ala.

You can select verses and you can recite

it on your scratch, on your cut. If

somebody is sick, somebody's suffering with cancer or

disease you can recite some Quran on them

bi idhnillahi ta'ala by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's

Qadr and will

they will find Shifa bi idhnillah. May Allah

Shifa, Allahumma'amin.

Shifa, Allahumma'amin.
