*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -* - Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

Prayer for restoration of Health

QuotingMi¥b¡¦ al-Mutahajjid, al-Kaf`am¢ has reported that whoever is
ailed, may say the following prayer in the second prostration of the
first two units of the Night Prayer:
يَا عَلِيُّ يَا عَظِيمُ
y¡ `aliyyu y¡ `¨¢mu
O Most High! O All-great!
يَا رَحْمٰنُ يَا رَحِيمُ
y¡ra¦m¡nu y¡ra¦¢mu
O All-beneficent! O All-merciful!
يَا سَمِيعَ ٱلدَّعَوَاتِ
y¡sam¢`a aldda`aw¡ti
O Hearer of all prayers!
يَا مُعْطِيَ ٱلْخَيْرَاتِ
y¡mu`§iya alkhayr¡ti
O Giver of the good things!
صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ
¥alli `al¡mu¦ammadin wa ¡lih¢
(Please) bless Mu¦ammad and his Household,
وَاعْطِنِي مِنْ خَيْرِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلآخِرَةِ مَا انْتَ اهْلُهُ
wa a`§in¢ min khayri aldduny¡wal-¡khirati m¡anta ahluh£
give me from the good of this world and the Next World in the amount
that fits You,
وَٱصْرِفْ عَنِّي مِنْ شَرِّ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلآخِرَةِ مَا انْتَ اهْلُهُ
wa¥rif `ann¢ min sharri aldduny¡wal-¡khirati m¡anta ahluh£
dispel from me the evils of this world and the Next World in the way
that fits You,
وَاذْهِبْ عَنِّي هٰذَا ٱلْوَجَعَ…
wa adhhib `ann¢ h¡dh¡alwaja`a…
and remove from me this ailment…
The disease or ailment may be now mentioned…
فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ غَاظَنِي وَاحْزَنَنِي
fa'innah£ qad gh¡¨an¢ wa a¦zanan¢
for it has enraged and depressed me.
It is recommended to supplicate earnestly, because the more earnest
the sooner in response.
Quoted from`Uddat al-D¡`¢, Imam al-¯¡diq (`a) is reported to have said:
When you are ailed, go outdoors, raise your hands towards the sky, and
say the following prayer:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَيَّرْتَ اقْوَاماً فِي كِتَابِكَ
all¡humma innaka `ayyarta aqw¡man f¢ kit¡bika
O Allah! Having rebuked some people in Your Book,
فَقُلْتَ: ﴿قُلِ ٱدْعُوٱ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ
faqulta qul id`£ alladh¢na za`amtum min d£nih¢
You said, "Say, 'Call on those whom you assert besides Him.
فَلاَ يَمْلِكُونَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنْكُمْ وَلاَ تَحْوِيلاًَ﴾
fal¡yamlik£na kashfa al¤¤urri `ankum wa l¡ta¦w¢lan
They shall not control the removal of distress from you nor its transference.'"
فَيَا مَنْ لاَ يَمْلِكُ كَشْفَ ضُرِّي وَلاَ تَحْوِيلَهُ عَنِّي احَدٌ غَيْرُهُ
fay¡man l¡yamliku kashfa ¤urr¢ wa l¡ta¦w¢lah£ `ann¢ a¦adun ghayruh£
O He save Whom no one controls the removal of distress nor its transference,
صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ
¥alli `al¡mu¦ammadin wa ¡lih¢
(please) bless Mu¦ammad and his Household,
وَٱكْشِفْ ضُرِّي
wakshif ¤urr¢
remove my distress,
وَحَوِّلْهُ إِلَىٰ مَنْ يَدْعُو مَعَكَ إِلٰهاً آخَرَ
wa ¦awwilhu il¡man yad`£ ma`aka il¡han ¡khara
and transfer it to one who calls on another deity besides You,
فَإِنِّي اشْهَدُ انْ لاَ إِلٰهَ غَيْرُكَ
fa'inn¢ ashhadu an l¡il¡ha ghayruka
for I bear witness that there is no god save You.
It is also reported that any believer who is diseased or ailed, should
rub the ailed organ with his hand and repeat the following (holy
verse) with sincerity:
وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
wa nunazzilu min alqur'¡ni m¡huwa shif¡'un wa ra¦matun lilmu'min¢na
"[And] We reveal of the Qur'¡n that which is a healing and a mercy for believers
وَلاَ يَزِيدُ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ إِلاََّ خَسَاراً.
wa l¡yaz¢du al¨¨¡lim¢na ill¡khas¡ran
though it increase the evil-doers in naught save ruin."
If he does, he will be restored to health no matter what his disease
would be. Confirming this, the holy verse corroborates that it carries
healing and mercy to the believers.
An ailed person is recommended to purchase one ¥¡`( [1])of wheat, lie
on his back, disperse the wheat grains on his chest, and say the
following prayer:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي اسْالُكَ بِٱسْمِكَ
all¡humma inn¢ as'aluka bismika
O Allah, I beseech You in the name of Your Name—
ٱلَّذِي إِذَا سَالَكَ بِهِ ٱلْمُضْطَرُّ كَشَفْتَ مَا بِهِ مِنْ ضُرٍّ
alladh¢ idh¡sa'alaka bih¢ almu¤§arra kashafta m¡bih¢ min ¤urrin
if the distressed asks You by Your Name, You shall remove whatever
harm he suffers,
وَمَكَّنْتَ لَهُ فِي ٱلارْضِ
wa makkanta lah£ f¢ al-ar¤i
give him power in the land,
وَجَعَلْتَهُ خَلِيفَتَكَ عَلَىٰ خَلْقِكَ
wa ja`altah£ khal¢fataka `al¡khalqika
and make him Your representative among Your creatures
انْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ اهْلِ بَيْتِهِ
an tu¥alliya `al¡mu¦ammadin wa `al¡ahli baytih¢
to bless Mu¦ammad and his Household
وَانْ تُعَافِيَنِي مِنْ عِلَّتِي
wa an tu`¡fiyan¢ min `illat¢
and to cure me of my ailment.
He may then sit, gather the wheat grains around him, repeat the same
prayer, divide the wheat grains into four shares, give each share to a
poor man, and repeat the same prayer. Once an ailed person does all
that, he will be restored to health, Allah willing.
Imam `Al¢ (`a) is reported to have said: Put your hand on the ailed
organ and repeat the following prayer three times:
اللَّهُ اللَّهُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي حَقّاً
all¡hu all¡hu all¡hu rabb¢ ¦aqqan
Allah, Allah, Allah is my Lord indeed.
لاَ اشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً
l¡ushriku bih¢ shay'an
I do not associate with Him anything.
اللَّهُمَّ انْتَ لَهَا وَلِكُلِّ عَظِيمَةٍ فَفَرِّجْهَا
all¡humma anta lah¡wa likulli `a¨¢matin fafarrijh¡
O Allah, You are the only besought for this and for every terrible
thing; so (please) relieve it.
Imam al-¯¡diq (`a) is reported to have said in this regard: You may
put your hand on the ailed organ and say:
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ
bismill¡hi
In the Name of Allah.
You may then rub the ailed organ with your hand and repeat the
following evil-repelling prayer (`£dhah) seven times:
اعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ ٱللَّهِ
a`£dhu bi`izzati all¡hi
I pray for the protection of Allah's almightiness,
وَاعُوذُ بِقُدْرَةِ ٱللَّهِ
wa a`£dhu biqudrati all¡hi
I pray for the protection of Allah's omnipotence,
وَاعُوذُ بِجَلاَلِ ٱللَّهِ
wa a`£dhu bijal¡li all¡hi
I pray for the protection of Allah's majesty,
وَاعُوذُ بِعَظَمَةِ ٱللَّهِ
wa a`£dhu bi`a¨amati all¡h
I pray for the protection of Allah's greatness,
وَاعُوذُ بِجَمْعِ ٱللَّهِ
wa a`£dhu bijam`i all¡hi
I pray for the protection of Allah's wholeness,
وَاعُوذُ بِرَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ صَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ
wa a`£dhu biras£li all¡hi ¥all¡all¡hu `alayhi wa ¡lih¢
I pray for the protection of Allah's Messenger, may Allah's blessings
be upon him and his Household,
وَاعُوذُ بِاسْمَاءِ ٱللَّهِ
wa a`£dhu bi-asm¡'i all¡hi
and I pray for the protection of Allah's Names
مِنْ شَرِّ مَا احْذَرُ
min sharri m¡a¦dharu
against the evil of what I concern
وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا اخَافُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِي
wa min sharri m¡akh¡fu `al¡nafs¢
and the evil of what I fear for myself.
It is reported that when a child is ailed, the mother may ascend to a
roof, throw the head cover away, expose the hair of her head under the
sky, prostrate herself, and say the following supplication:
اللَّهُمَّ رَبِّ انْتَ اعْطَيْتَنِيهِ
all¡humma rabbi anta a`§aytan¢hi
O Allah, O my Lord! It is You Who have given him to me
وَانْتَ وَهَبْتَهُ لِي
wa anta wahabtah£ l¢
and it is You Who have endued me with Him.
اللَّهُمَّ فَٱجْعَلْ هِبَتَكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ جَدِيدَةً
all¡humma faj`al hibataka alyawma jad¢datan
O Allah, so (please) renew Your donation to me on this day.
إِنَّكَ قَادِرٌ مُقْتَدِرٌ
innaka q¡dirun muqtadirun
You are verily all-powerful and omnipotent.
The mother will not raise her head from the prostration but that her
child is restored to health.
Al-Shah¢d, may Allah have mercy upon him, has reported that whoever is
tensely ailed may recite S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah forty times on a glass of
water. He may then pour the water on his body. He may have a measure
of wheat near him and hand over each beggar a measure and ask him to
pray Almighty Allah to cure him. If he does so, he will be restored to
health, Allah willing.
"Medicate your patients with alms." This saying is reported through
considerable chains of authority.
With reference to removal of diseases, al-Shah¢d has also reported
that the right arm of a patient may be held while reciting S£rah
al-F¡ti¦ah seven times. After that, the following prayer may be said:
اللَّهُمَّ ازِلْ عَنْهُ ٱلْعِلَلَ وَٱلدَّاءَ
all¡humma azil `anhu al`ilala waldd¡'a
O Allah, (please) remove ailments and maladies from him,
وَاعِدْهُ إِلَىٰ ٱلصِّحَّةِ وَٱلشِّفَاءِ
wa a`id-hu il¡al¥¥i¦¦ati walshshif¡'i
restore him to health and cure,
وَامِدَّهُ بِحُسْنِ ٱلْوِقَايَةِ
wa amiddah£ bi¦usni alwiq¡yati
supply him with excellent protection,
وَرُدَّهُ إِلَىٰ حُسْنِ ٱلْعَافِيَةِ
wa ruddah£ il¡¦usni al`¡fiyati
return him to excellent wellbeing,
وَٱجْعَلْ مَا نَالَهُ فِي مَرَضِهِ هٰذَا مَادَّةً لِحَيَاتِهِ
waj`al m¡n¡lah£ f¢ mara¤ih¢ h¡dh¡m¡ddatan li¦ay¡tih¢
and cause what has afflicted him in this ailment of him to be material
of his life
وَكَفَّارَةً لِسَيِّئَاتِهِ
wa kaff¡ratan lisayyi'¡tih¢
and remission of his evildoings.
اللَّهُمَّ وَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
all¡humma wa ¥alli `al¡mu¦ammadin wa ¡li mu¦ammadin
O Allah, (please) bless Mu¦ammad and the Household of Mu¦ammad.
If this does not work, S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah may be repeated seventy times,
and it will be effective, Allah willing.
Imam al-B¡qir (`a) is reported to have said, "Whoever is not healed by
S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah and S£rah al-Taw¦¢d, nothing else will heal him.
Verily, these two S£rahs cure of all ailments."
Imam al-¯¡diq (`a) is reported to have said: Allah will certainly cure
any ailed believer who says the following verse sincerely while
rubbing his ailed organ with his hand:
وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
wa nunazzilu min alqur'¡ni m¡huwa shif¡'un wa ra¦matun lilmu'min¢na
"[And] We reveal of the Qur'¡n that which is a healing and a mercy for
believers."
Imam al-Ri¤¡ (`a) is reported to have said: For all ailments, you may
say the following prayer:
يَا مُنْزِلَ ٱلشِّفَاءِ وَمُذْهِبَ ٱلدَّاءِ
y¡munzila alshshif¡'i
O revealer of cure and remover of remedy,
صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ
wa mudhhiba aldd¡'i
(please) bless Mu¦ammad and his Household
وَانْزِلْ عَلَىٰ وَجَعِي ٱلشِّفَاءَ
¥alli `al¡mu¦ammadin wa ¡lih¢
and reveal cure upon my ailment.

Ailments duas- Mafatih Baqiyatus salehat

Imam al-¯¡diq (`a) is reported to have said: Any diseased person who
repeats these statements forty times immediately after the Dawn Prayer
and then rubs the painful part with his hand, Almighty Allah will free
him from the disease and restore him to health:
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
bismill¡hi alrra¦m¡ni alrra¦¢mi
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَالَمِينَ
al¦amdu lill¡hi rabbi al`¡lam¢na
All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
حَسْبُنَا ٱللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ ٱلْوَكِيلُ
¦asbun¡all¡hu wa ni`ma alwak¢lu
Sufficient to us is Allah, and most excellent is the Protector.
تَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ احْسَنُ ٱلْخَالِقِينَ
tab¡raka all¡hu a¦sanu alkh¡liq¢na
Blessed be Allah, the Best of all creators.
وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاََّ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
wa l¡¦awla wa l¡quwwata ill¡bill¡hi al`aliyyi al`a¨¢mi
There is neither might nor power save with Allah, the Most High and All-great.
I, the patient, waited for dawn, performed the obligatory prayer, and
sat in my place repeating these words while I was fearful lest the
pains would return to me. Keeping on this state for three days, the
disease was gone. My father, after I had told him about this, thanked
Almighty Allah. When he informed one of the physicians about the
restoration of my health, the physician, who was non-Muslim, visited
and examined me. When he was sure that my disease had gone, he
converted to Islam, bore witness that Mu¦ammad is the messenger of
God, and committed himself to the teachings of Islam.
Al-Kaf`am¢, in his book entitledal-Mi¥b¡¦, has mentioned that whoever
is diseased, may rub over the place of his prostration (in prayers)
with his hand and then rub the ailed organ after each obligatory
prayer seven times. He may then say the following prayer:
يَا مَنْ كَبَسَ ٱلارْضَ عَلَىٰ ٱلْمَاءِ
y¡man kabasa al-ar¤a `al¡alm¡'i
O He Who has pressed the earth on water,
وَسَدَّ ٱلْهَوَاءَ بِٱلسَّمَاءِ
wa sadda alhaw¡'a bilssam¡'i
blocked the air with the sky,
وَٱخْتَارَ لِنَفْسِهِ احْسَنَ ٱلاسْمَاءِ
wakht¡ra linafsih¢ a¦sana al-asm¡'i
and chose for Himself the most excellent of all names,
صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
¥alli `al¡mu¦ammadin wa ¡li mu¦ammadin
(please) send blessings upon Mu¦ammad and the Household of Mu¦ammad,
وَٱفْعَلْ بِي…
waf`al b¢…
do to me…
وَٱرْزُقْنِي وَعَافِنِي مِنْ…
warzuqn¢ wa `¡fin¢ min…
grant me sustenance, and cure me of…
[Instead of the three dots, you may submit your requests and mention
your ailed organ.

Fathwa, - Is it permissible for a male massage therapist to treat female patients?

Question:
Is it permissible for a male massage therapist or physiotherapist
to massage or treat a female?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Praise be to Allah.
May Allah's peace and blessings shower upon our beloved Messenger.
Dear Brother,
I pray this message finds you in good iman and health.
The general principle regarding medical treatment of the opposite sex
is that treatment is only allowed out of necessity, for example, a
doctor who is required to treat everyone regardless of gender, and
that contact with the opposite sex is only to the extent that is
necessary.
For these reasons, male patients are required to seek out the
treatment of male doctors, while female patients are required to seek
out the help of female doctors. In the event of an emergency, or the
unavailability of a doctor of the same sex, then it is permitted to go
to a doctor of the opposite sex.
I do not know the details of your job situation, but I strongly urge
you to avoid massaging female patients. Generally speaking, massage is
not considered as urgent medical treatment. Hence, your female
patients could conceivably go to a female therapist without
exacerbating their conditions. In particular, massage is a very
sensual therapy. As you know, it requires skin-to- skin contact and
some degree of disrobing. Obviously it is advisable to avoid such
situations.
On the other hand, physical therapy is far less sensual than massage
and could conceivably fall under the rubric of urgent medical care,
particularly for people who can't function normally without such
therapy.
I advise you to apprise a local scholar of your situation.

And Allah Most High knows best.
