'Recite this 10 times and you will be healed of your illness!'
'Chant 'Ya Lateef' 20 times to rid yourself of urinary problems!'
'Recite so-and-so Quranic verse 40 times to heal your heart!'
Have you no shame?
The Qur'an states 'the Qur'an heals the Momineen'.
So tell me, why does it only heal the Momineen and not the Muslims?
The healing from Qur'an is not for your physical body.
Does the Qur'an Have the Cure for Ailments?
Everything should first and foremost be diagnosed.
It is very dangerous to Google [your symptoms] and then self-medicate.
It's dangerous because you may not even know what is your blood group.
A physician prescribes medicine with the potency that agrees with your blood group.
You don't know this, so you Google your symptoms and start taking a random medicine.
This is very dangerous.
Self-medication is very dangerous.
If I tell people that I have stomach pain, I am bombarded with a hundred different opinions.
It's true.
One person tells me to drink a cup of Joshanda.
Another says, 'all you need is a pinch of turmeric powder and a pinch of salt in water
and don't boil the water
just mix it into water and drink it'.
People come up with many different remedies.
And that's not a good thing.
Sometimes when we experience stomach pains, we do not know the reason why
and sometimes we have a headache but we don't know why
It's not necessary that all types of headaches can be relieved by taking paracetamol.
All these painkillers and analgesic tablets are chemicals and the more you take them, the more it ruins the liver.
Self-medication is really very dangerous.
Neither is it a good thing to continuously go to the chemists or pharmacies for antidepressants, it affects your brain.
Go to a doctor and pay heed to what they say.
That's the best thing to do.
There are many who rely on my prayers to heal them.
But prayers are not the answer for everything.
Now, this is very important:
If prayers were the answer to everything then Prophet Muhammad (saw) would not have taken any medicine when he would become ill.
Prophet Muhammad (saw) also took precautionary measures by taking medicine.
Do you think you know Islam and Qur'an better than the Prophet (saw)?
If you are unwell then take the prescribed medicine, don't just drag prayers into everything.
Why are you fooling yourself?
If you have pain in your leg, go to a doctor and find out what's wrong.
Don't just say 'it must be an evil spirit, it will get better on its own'.
There can be many reasons for leg pain.
There can be many reasons for headaches too.
Sometimes tension can be the cause of a headache.
But there are different types of headaches.
Sometimes you feel an ache in the forehead
sometimes in the middle or on the side
and each point has a different cause.
And if you experience headaches frequently, it could be something very serious.
It could be an issue with the brain.
So go to the doctor and get it checked out.
It's very important to get it checked out.
Don't just consider yourself an at-home doctor.
The trouble is people Google everything
and the internet has been flooded with fake and inauthentic information.
Inauthentic information.
It has been flooded.
You just spend your life googling everything.
It's better to go to the experts.
If you don't consult the experts, you will destroy your health.
In Pakistan, when people have heart problems and have stents inserted, they start eating oily foods like Paya and parathas as soon as they go back home.
I was in America two months ago and I met Shafi's brother who has stents in his heart
and I asked him, 'You are not eating parathas anymore, right?'
And he said, 'Oh no, these are not parathas because I don't put any oil inside, it's just on the outside'.
Come on. You just had a heart attack and you are still eating parathas? Don't do that.
But people don't understand these things.
They love oily foods.
When they eat korma, it has to be so oily that the meat is swimming around in the oil.
That's why even after getting five stents in their hearts, they still have a heart attack.
How can that be when the stent helps to expand the blood vessels?
And if you are taking statins and blood thinners, you should not have another heart attack.
Right?
However, the cholesterol tablets you are taking will have no effect if your diet is terrible.
The cholesterol tablet will tell your liver to stop producing cholesterol
but all the oily foods you are consuming have trans fats and animal fats
and they will go straight to your heart.
Isn't that right?
But alas, people don't understand this.
Anyway, you should always go to the doctor and tell them everything.
And avoid all those things that the doctor tells you to avoid.
Don't just say prayers are the answer to everything.
Spend a little money on your health.
Precautionary measures are necessary because this world is the Realm of Reasoning.
God is the Provider, he grants you provision, right?
But you have to work to earn that provision.
So then your work is the reason [you earn provisions].
Is it not?
Although God provides you with children, you have to first get married and then your wife will bear your child - that is the reason.
Similarly, healing is also granted by God
but you will have to take medication [to be healed].
Now, I will tell you something very important.
Lend me your ears, please.
I scroll through Instagram every day
and I see that people have become so shameless that now they've started doing something just to get likes and gain followers.
'Recite this 10 times and you will be healed of your illness!'
'Chant 'Ya Lateef' 20 times to rid yourself of urinary problems!'
It's true!
'Recite so-and-so Quranic verse 40 times to heal your heart!'
Have you no shame?
And people have spread something quite strange about the Qur'an.
Yes, the Qur'an states 'the Qur'an heals the Momineen'.
Right?
So tell me, why does it only heal the Momineen and not the Muslims?
The healing from the Qur'an refers to esoteric healing.
The healing from Qur'an is not for your physical body.
Reciting the Qur'an will not unblock your blocked arteries.
Don't you fear God? Stop defaming Islam and the Qur'an!
The healing from the Qur'an is about esoteric ailments, such as hypocrisy
and shirk (appointing partners with God) and kufr (rejecting God).
There are countless who claim to heal you by blowing on you... but nothing will happen.
This form of healing is only effective against a satanic attack on your body.
Satan then leaves your body.
High cholesterol will not be remedied with prayers, you have to take medication for it.
Remove this notion from your minds that the Qur'an heals physical ailments.
I am saying this with conviction: you are being misguided.
If the Qur'an provided a cure for physical ailments then why did Prophet Muhammad (saw) take medicine?
Answer me.
He had the Qur'an in his heart.
Didn't he?
If the Qur'an had the cure for physical ailments then the Prophet (saw) shouldn't have fallen ill, ever.
But he did.
He did become ill. He also had fevers.
So did the Prophet (saw) recite 'qul ho Allah ho ahad' to heal himself?
No, that's not what happened.
The Prophet (saw) took proper medication.
Now, this is a delicate point.
It's delicate because Muslims are often set back because they don't want to be disrespectful.
They think they can't deny it if it's about the Qur'an.
So they are set back because they want to be respectful.
They don't say anything. They think if someone is saying a particular verse of the Qur'an will heal them, then it must because it's God's word.
The problem with this is although you don't say anything out loud, you silently stop believing.
You do try these so-called remedies because it's the word of God but when nothing happens and you are not healed,
then you think about going to the doctor.
And what happened? You lost your faith in the Qur'an.
Don't do these things.
Stop destroying people's faith.
I will say once again, loud and clear, that the Qur'an does not have a cure for physical ailments.
The Qur'an mentions healing for esoteric ailments.
The Qur'an is mercy for common people, and healing for the Momineen.
What kind of healing? For the esoteric illnesses, not physical ones.
Do you understand what I have said?
You should explain this to others, too.
So that people do not lose their faith and their belief is not destroyed.
Tell people that the Qur'an mentions healing for the esoteric illnesses.
If the Qur'an had the cure for physical illnesses then why would the Prophet take medication when he would have a fever?
There are countless folks who have set up shop posing as healers, saints and sages.
They are everywhere in Punjab, and also in Karachi.
Iqrar ul Hassan from the programme, Sar e Aam, catches these so-called healers red-handed.
He asks them, 'What do you do?' They say, 'We heal people with the Qur'an'.
How can you heal people with the Qur'an when you are coughing yourself?
Heal with the Qur'an...
And our nation is very fond of being blackmailed in the name of God, the Prophet, the Qur'an and the Prophet's Household.
Honest to God.
They don't understand that these people are using the Qur'an and God's name to deceive them.
Beware of this.
If you become ill then please go to the doctor.
Otherwise, answer my question: if the Qur'an has a remedy for physical illness then why did the Prophet (saw) take medication when he became ill?
If the Prophet (saw) took medication, what should we be doing?
We should also take medication.
Right? So it means taking medication is a custom of the Prophet (saw).
If everyone just uses the Qur'an to 'heal' people, not only will they destroy their faith but kill them too!
If someone's arteries are blocked and you're telling them to just recite Surah Al-Kahf...
they will die reciting Surah Al-Kahf.
