Treatment

In so far as health is concerned, it is the Hukm (order) of Allah Ta’ala that we take care of the gift of health and well being. The body is the ‘vehicle’ given to us by Allah Ta’ala. It will, via the ‘fuel’ of Imaan and Amal-e-Sawlih (good deeds), transfer us safely to our home in Jannat (Heaven in Urdu), Insha-Allah.

…We should just reflect on the fact that we pay for spectacles, medication, ointments, etc. yet for this breathing, eyesight, hearing and other blessings, no bill has been posted to us. …Imagine if Allah Ta’ala had to send us a bill for every ne’mat (bounty) that He grants to us ?

Nevertheless, it is a Sunnah of Nabi Muhammad e    and his companions to take treatment.

Rasulullah (SAW) had stated : “Allah has sent down both the disease and the cure, and He has appointed a cure for every disease, so treat yourselves, but use nothing unlawful.”

Therefore, seek some cure and take treatment, but believe firmly that cure is in the ‘hands’ of Allah Ta’ala. 

Hazrat Ibraheem (‘Alaihis Salaam) has also taught us this trust and faith in Allah Ta’ala :

  “And when I am ill, it is He who cures me.” [Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26 : 80]

I had mentioned in a previous talk that there is effect in dua and ‘dawa’ (medicine). Whilst cure will only come by the will of Allah Ta’ala, the dua will never go to waste. It may be that Allah Ta’ala will give the person something better than what he had desired.

A Mu’min (Believer) is satisfied under all conditions. In fact,     Nabi has mentioned : “The Mu`min is indeed wonderful. When goodness comes to him, he praises Allah and offers shukr (gratitude), and when misfortune strikes him, he praises Allah and adopts sabr (patience).”

However, due to our weakness, we need to ask Allah Ta’ala for Aafiyat (well being), good health, long life, happiness, contentment and prosperity. Thereafter, whatever conditions befall us, we then accept.*
