Illness, a blessing or a curse

Illness is one of the trials with which Allah tests His servants.

Behind illness lie many wisdoms, and numerous blessings are also associated with it:

it strengthens worship
it ensures that the servant learns to practice patience
it removes sins
it is a means to enter Paradise…

This book encourages the sick Muslim to be patient.
It provides an overview of the blessings of illness and offers a range of means that ensure the servant can practice patience.

Illness strikes the servant by the decree of Allah.
Consequently, He is the only one capable of removing it.

Healing comes from Allah and can therefore only be achieved in the light of the Quran and the Sunnah.

Under no circumstances may the sick Muslim appeal to sorcerers and fortune-tellers.
Instead, he must offer supplications, apply ruqya, seek forgiveness, and show repentance.

May Allah protect us from illnesses and may He heal our sick Muslim brothers and sisters.
