Healing in Light of the Qurʾān and Sunnah, a lecture by Ustādh Rayaan Barker (hafidhahullāh)

  • Afflictions wipe away the sins of a Muslim, and Allāh raises a person by way of illness
  • Seeking cure by the Qurʾān, legislated ruqyah; using remedies is permitted but not ḥarām remedies
  • Tawakkul has two parts: reliance upon Allāh and taking the means
  • Diseases are of two types, of the heart and of the body; the heart’s diseases are doubts and desires
  • Conditions of ruqyah: recited in Arabic by a person of sound ʿaqīdah, with Shaykh Fawzān and Shaykh Ibn Bāz on how to perform it
  • Whoever wears an amulet has fallen into shirk, and ḥarām things such as intoxicants cannot be used as a cure
  • Honey (an-Naḥl 16:69) and ḥijāmah as cures
