Islamic Article | - She is asking about the ruling on drinking waterover which Soorah Ya-Seen has been recitedin order to treat doubts

I have certain doubts and in need of clarification. I am constantly
feeling loss, lack of clarity and anxiety. I am also experiencing
monthly migraine and I have seek medical blood test result etc to see
if I have any medical problems e.g Thyroid but I am freefrom any
problems alhamdullilah.
I was told that maybe drinking "Yasin Water" may help me from feeling
and experiencing this problem. I am really depressed by this
feelingcloudy in my head and have turned to doa and prayers.
Do you have any advice for me to get away from this feeling?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Before discussing the shar'i ruling, we advise you of that which will
help you to overcome the pain and get through the trial in the best
way that the believer can resort to, along with patience, andtrying to
forget it by focusing on something else, and taking steady and patient
steps towards a remedy and not giving up or getting tired of doing so,
and not feeling frustrated by failure or by the slowness of results.
Allah,may He be glorified and exalted, is wise in all that He does.
Everyone in this world should prepare himself to face calamities and
beexposed to all kinds of tests. This is the way of this transient
world which is full of trials and tribulations. Allah, may He be
glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss
of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As- Saabiroon
(the patient).
156. Who, when afflictedwith calamity, say: 'Truly,to Allaah we belong
and truly, to Him we shall return.'
157. They are those on whom are the Salawaat (i.e. who are blessed
andwill be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive
His Mercy, and it is they whoare the guided ones"
[al-Baqarah 2:155-157].
The believer always remembers the mercy of Allah, may He be glorified
and exalted, and he does not despair of attaining the generosity of
his Lord with healing and response to his supplication, even if it is
after a while. He looks atthe tragedies of people around him,
including the poor who cannot find a mouthful of food, the sick person
who is inagonising pain at every moment, those who have been driven
from their homes, prisoners who are being tortured, those who are
tested with their wives and children, those who are afraid in their
own homelands, and the longlist of various kinds of trials and
tribulations. The one who ponders allthat will realise that he cannot
escape the necessity of patience. So let it be the patience of
contentment, which is better than the patience of compulsion; this is
thepatience for which Allah decrees reward. Athough the Messengers and
Prophets - who were the dearest and most beloved of mankind to Allah,
may He be glorified and exalted - were faced with calamities and
trialsthat went on for a long time, that did not lead them to give up
and despair of the mercy of Allah. Nooh (peace be upon him) remained
among his people for a thousand years less fifty (i.e., 950 years)
during which they accused him and resisted him. Ya'qoob and Yoosuf
(peace be upon him) were tested with a lengthy separation until
Ya'qoob (peace be upon him) became blind. Moosa (peace be upon him)
was thrown out of his country and fled from it in fear. Zakariya and
Yahya (peace be upon them) were killed by the Children of Israel. The
people of 'Eesa (peace be upon him) wanted to crucify him and Allah
raised him to Himself. Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) was expelled by his people from his land; they reviled him and
insulted him and wanted to kill him. And the list is longer than that.
If you want to know more about that, look in the Book of Allah and
ponder the meanings of the verses that you read,and you will find the
best consolation in that.
So let us - weak slaves - not be hasty in seeking relief from harm;
let us do our duty of bearing itwith patience and contentment, and let
us put our trust in Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, for He is
the Most Wise Who disposes of all the affairs of this world as He
wills.
This does not mean that one cannot seek help by means of Islamically
acceptable ruqyah in which Allah may decree there is healing. Allah,
may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And We senddown of the Qur'ân that which is a healing and a mercy to
those who believe (in Islâmic Monotheism and act on it), and it
increases the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) nothing but loss"
[al-Isra' 17:82].
Al-'Allaamah Muhammad al-Ameen al-Shanqeeti (may Allah have mercy on him) says:
The fact that it is a healing includes the heart and all its diseases
(i.e., spiritual diseases), such as doubt, hypocrisy and so on, as
well as healing for physical diseases if it is used in ruqya, as is
indicated by the story of the one whodid ruqya for the man who had
been stung by a scorpion by reciting al-Faatihah. The report issaheeh
and is well known.
End quote from Adwa' al-Bayaan, 3/253.
But singling out specific verses or a specific soorah such as Soorat
Ya-Seen, for specific diseases and specifying a particular number of
times it should be recited or certain times for reciting these verses
or soorahs - none of thisis the Sunnah of the Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him) and there is no shar'i evidence to support
it. Rather we areafraid that the one who does that will fall into
innovation (bid'ah). This has been discussed previously on our website
in the answer toquestion no. 123155
With regard to drinking water over which SooratYa-Seen has been
recitedseveral times when he does not believe that it has any
particular virtue,there is nothing wrong with that, although it would
have been better to perform ruqyah with that which is proven according
to shar'i evidence, such as reciting over the water Soorat
al-Faatihah, al-Mi'wadhatayn, Aayat al-Kursiy and other passages that
have been discussed on our website under the heading of Ruqya, such as
question no. 3476 .
There have also been a number of answers on our website which suggest
some means of dealing with doubts andwaswaas (whispers fromthe
Shaytaan) that may cross one's mind and be difficult to dispel.

' Fear Prayer ' of Sahih Bukhari.

64
Narrated Shu'aib: I asked Az-Zuhri, "Did the Prophet ever offer the
Fear Prayer?" Az-Zuhri said, "I was told by Salim that 'Abdullah bin
Umar I had said, 'I took part in a holy battle with Allah's Apostle I
in Najd. We faced the enemy and arranged ourselves in rows. Then
Allah's Apostle(p.b.u.h) stood up to leadthe prayer and one party
stood to pray with him while the other faced theenemy. Allah's Apostle
(p.b.u.h) and the former party bowed and performed two prostrations.
Then that party left and took the place of those who had not prayed.
Allah's Apostle prayed one Raka (with the latter) and performed two
prostrations and finishedhis prayer with Taslim. Then everyone of them
bowed once and performed two prostrations individually.'"
65
Narrated Nafi': Ibn Umar said something similar to Mujahid's saying:
Whenever (Muslims and non-Muslims) stand face to face in battle, the
Muslims can pray while standing. Ibn Umar added, "The Prophet said,
'If the number of the enemy is greater than the Muslims, they can pray
while standing or riding (individually).' "
66
Narrated Ibn Abbas: Once the Prophet (p.b.u.h) led the fear prayer and
the people stood behind him. He said Takbir (Allahu-Akbar) and the
people said the same. He bowed and some of them bowed. Then he
prostrated and they also prostrated. Then he stood for the second Raka
and those who had prayed the first Raka left and guarded their
brothers. The second party joined him and performed bowing and
prostration with him. All the people were in prayer but they were
guarding one another during the prayer.
67
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: On the day of the Khandaq Umar came,
cursing the disbelievers of Quraish and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I
have notoffered the 'Asr prayer and the sun has set." The Prophet
replied, "By Allah! I too, have not offered the prayer yet."The
Prophet then went to Buthan, performed ablution and performed the 'Asr
prayer after the sun had set and then offered the Maghrib prayer after
it."
68
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) offered the Fajr
prayer when it was still dark, then he rode and said, 'Allah Akbar!
Khaibar is ruined. When we approach near to a nation, the most
unfortunate is the morning of those who have been warned." The people
came out into thestreets saying,"Muhammad and his army." Allah's
Apostle vanquished them by force and their warriors were killed; the
children and women were taken as captives. Safiya was taken by Dihya
Al-Kalbi and later she belonged to Allah's Apostle go who married her
and her Mahr was her manumission.

Hadees - - || Prayer at Night (Tahajjud) ' of Sahih Bukhari.

221
Narrated Ibn Abbas: When the Prophet got upat night to offer the
Tahajjud prayer, he used to say: Allahumma lakal-hamd. Anta
qaiyimus-samawati wal-ard wa man fihinna. Walakal-hamd, Laka
mulkus-samawati wal-ard wa man fihinna. Walakal-hamd, anta
nurus-samawati wal-ard. Walakalhamd, anta-l-haqwa wa'duka-l-haq, wa
liqa'uka Haq, wa qualukaHaq, wal-jannatu Han wan-naru Haq wannabiyuna
Haq. Wa Muhammadun, sallal-lahu'alaihi wasallam, Haq, was-sa'atu Haq.
Allahumma aslamtu Laka wabika amantu, wa 'Alaika tawakkaltu, wa ilaika
anabtu wa bika khasamtu, wa ilaika hakamtu faghfir li ma qaddamtu wama
akh-khartu wama as-rartu wama'a lantu, anta-l-muqaddim wa anta-l-mu
akh-khir, la ilaha illa anta (or la ilaha ghairuka). (O Allah! All the
praises are for you, You are the Holder of the Heavens and the Earth,
And whatever is in them. All the praises are for You; You have the
possession of the Heavens and the Earth And whatever is in them. All
the praises are for You; You are the Light of the Heavens and the
Earth And all the praises are for You; You are the King of the Heavens
and the Earth; And all the praises are for You; You are the Truth and
Your Promise is the truth, And to meet You is true, Your Word is the
truth And Paradise is true And Hell is true And all the Prophets
(Peace be upon them) are true; And Muhammad is true, And the Day of
Resurrection istrue. O Allah ! I surrender (my will) to You; I
believein You and depend on You. And repent to You, And with Your help
I argue (with my opponents, the non-believers) And I take You as a
judge (to judge between us). Please forgive me my previous And future
sins; And whatever I concealed or revealed And You are the One who
make (some people) forward And (some) backward. There is none to be
worshippedbut you . Sufyan said that'Abdul Karim Abu Umaiya added to
the above, 'Wala haula Wala quwatailla billah' (There is neither might
nor power except with Allah).
222
Narrated Salim's father: In the life-time of the Prophet whosoever saw
a dream would narrate it to Allah's Apostle. I had a wish of seeing a
dream to narrate it to Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) I was a grown up boy
and used to sleep in the Mosque in the life-time of the Prophet. I saw
in the dream that two angels caught hold of me and took me to the Fire
which was built all roundlike a built well and had two poles in it and
the people in it were known to me. I started saying, "I seek refuge
with Allah from the Fire." Then I metanother angel who told me not to
be afraid. I narrated the dream to Hafsa who told it to Allah's
Apostle. The Prophet said, "Abdullah isa good man. I wish he prayed
Tahajjud." After that 'Abdullah (i.e. Salim'sfather) used to sleep but
a little at night.
223
Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Apostle used to offer eleven Rakat and that
was his prayer. He used to prolong the prostration to such an extent
that one could recite fifty verses (of the Quran) before he would lift
his head. He used to pray two Rakat (Sunna) before the Fajr prayer and
then used to lie down on his right side tillthe call-maker came and
informed him about the prayer.
224
Narrated Jundab: The Prophet became sick and did not get up (for
Tahajjud prayer) for a night or two.
225
Narrated Jundab bin'Abdullah : Gabriel did not come to the Prophet
(for some time) and so one of the Quraish women said, "His Satan has
deserted him." So came the Divine Revelation: "By the forenoon And by
the night When it is still! YourLord (O Muhammad) has neither Forsaken
you Norhated you." (93.1-3)
226
Narrated Um Salama:One night the Prophet got up and said,
"SubhanAllah! How many afflictions Allah has revealed tonight and how
many treasures have been sent down (disclosed). Go and wake the
sleeping lady occupants of these dwellings up (for prayers), perhaps a
well-dressed in this world may be naked in the Hereafter."
227
Narrated 'Ali bin Abi Talib One night Allah's Apostle came to me and
Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet and asked,"Won't you pray (at
night)?" I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Our souls are in the hands of
Allah and if He wants us to get up He will make us get up." When I
said that, he left us without saying anything and I heard that he was
hitting his thigh and saying, "But man is more quarrelsomethan
anything." (18.54)
228
Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Apostle used to give up a good deed, although
he loved to do it, for fear that people might act on it and it might
be made compulsory for them. TheProphet never prayed the Duha prayer,
but I offer it.

Hadees - - || Virtues of Madinah ' of Sahih Bukhari.

91
Narrated Anas: The Prophet said, "Medina is a sanctuary from that
place to that. Its trees should not be cut and no heresy should be
innovated nor any sin should be committed in it, and whoever innovates
in it an heresy or commits sins (bad deeds), then he will incurthe
curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people." (See Hadith No. 409,
Vol 9).
92
Narrated Anas: The Prophet came to Medina and ordered a mosque tobe
built and said, "O BaniNajjar! Suggest to me theprice (of your land)."
They said, "We do not want its price except from Allah" (i.e. they
wished for a reward from Allah for giving up their land freely). So,
the Prophet ordered the graves of the pagans to be dug out and the
land to be levelled, and the date-palm trees to be cut down. The cut
date-palms were fixed in the direction of the Qibla of the mosque.
93
Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet said, "I have made Medina a
sanctuarybetween its two (Harrat) mountains." The Prophet went to the
tribe of Bani Haritha and said (to them), "I see that you have gone
out of the sanctuary," but looking around, he added, "No, you are
inside the sanctuary."
94
Narrated 'Ali: We havenothing except the Book of Allah and this
written paper from the Prophet (where-in is written:) Medina is a
sanctuary from the 'Air Mountain tosuch and such a place, and whoever
innovates in it an heresy or commits a sin, or gives shelter to such
an innovator in it will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all
the people, none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship
will be accepted. And the asylum (of protection) granted by any Muslim
is to be secured (respected)by all the other Muslims; and whoever
betrays a Muslim in this respect incurs the curse of Allah, the
angels, and all the people, and none of his compulsory or optional
good deeds of worship will be accepted, and whoever (freed slave)
befriends (take as masters) other than his manumitters without their
permission incurs the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people,
and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship will be
accepted.
95
Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah's Apostle said, "I was ordered to migrate
to a town which will swallow (conquer) other towns and is called
Yathrib and that is Medina, and it turns out (bad) persons as a
furnace removes the impurities of iron.
96
Narrated Abu Humaid:We came with the Prophet from Tabuk, and when we
reached near Medina, the Prophet said,"This is Tabah."
97
Narrated Abu Huraira:If I saw deers grazing in Medina, I would not
chase them, for Allah's Apostle said, "(Medina) is a sanctuary between
its two mountains."
