Islam and Spiritual Healing



In recent years, a small number of violent radicals, operating under the umbrella of the Islamic faith, have given the public a distorted view of the Islamic faith. One of the core beliefs of the Islamic faith is the health is a gift, emanating from the God. To those who follow the faith, they believe that next to faith itself, health is the second greatest blessing. Their belief is firmly centered around an understanding that good health is a state of grace, brought on by the divine. Muslims believe that the concept of one’s health should be viewed as a constantly changing and renewing entity, overseen by Allah. It follows, then, that the Islamic faith would be rich in traditions involving a variety of healing practices. Among these is a strong belief in the power of certain foods to promote well-being and good health. Barley, a staple of traditional Islamic culture, is thought to cure kidney problems as well as relieve a grieving heart. And following an illness, it is thought that eating a bread made from a mix of barley and beet roots would help bring back the patient’s strength and vitality. Dates are another traditional food for Muslims, and in fact most fasts are broken by enjoying dates, or dried grapes if no dates are available. They were thought to be cleansing to the body, a claim which modern science verifies by their high fiber content. And as a traditional source of energy, dates are high in sugar. Thus they make the ideal food with which to break a fast, when the body would be low in blood sugar and crave a good source of energy. And pregnant women of the Islamic tradition often have used dates to help prepare them for childbirth. Muslims also believe that honey was proscribed by Allah as a tonic for a variety of ills. Traditionally used to help treat sore throats and stomach ailments, modern science shows us that honey also can help stop bacteria from growing in the mouth, can help blood to circulate better, and even used to treat skin irritations and minor burns. The olive is another food that figures prominently in the Koran. In addition to its usefulness in maintaining good general health, olives are also knows for their nutritive value to the skin. And some even claim the olive oil can alleviate hemorrhoids. And once again, modern dieticians extol the virtue of this ancient food. The Mediterranean diet, rich in olive oils, has been show to help maintain good health and promote a stronger circulatory system. Throughout history, various religions have relied on certain foods to help maintain their followers’ good health. The Islamic faith is rich in these traditions, especially surrounding the fasting month of Ramadan. Islam also preaches other methods of healing with religious overtones. Among their beliefs is a prohibition against alcohol and mind-altering drugs. This complete ban comes from the understanding that behavior is controlled by the brain. Bad behavior is normally stopped by feelings of shame. Alcohol and drugs lessen or eliminate this shame reaction, causing the person to perform acts they normally would avoid. To learn more about healing practices as they relate to the Islamic faith, visit your local mosque. Most have community outreach programs, and their programs often include information healthy living as Muslims. If you don’t have a mosque near you, you may want to contact your local library or university to help you find local resources. Or, check the Internet; there is a wealth of information available on Islam and the healing arts.

Assalaamu Alaykum! My name is Najma Khan. I live in Johannesburg, South Africa with my husband Iqbal Khan. We have been married for almost 12 years, and we do not have any children yet. Over the years in our marriage being childless has brought me a lot of heartache. I used to cry a lot.
I saw on your website that you can make dua for women. This is my situation. My husband Iqbal is involved in an affair with a woman called Zaheera. She was married twice before & got a terrible reputation. Her own mother told me not to leave Iqbal because Zaheera had lots of affairs with married men before. She only wants to break up the marriage. 
I love my husband! I don't want to leave my marriage, but Iqbal breaks my heart every day by being with this woman. As I'm writing this to you, I am alone in our house & Iqbal is with her on holiday in Durban. It's very painful for me.
Please, I'm asking you to make dua for me & help me. I want my husband to leave this woman, to fall in love with me again & to be committed to our marriage. I want all this tension in our marriage to go away. I'm also asking you to make dua that I have a baby. I know in my heart Iqbal wants to become a father, but the doctors all told him he is the problem. Iqbal loves children as much as I do & I know that if I would have a baby he would be very happy, so we can be a family Insha Allah.
I saw on your website that you can help, even if the husband is involved with another woman. I am begging you, please help me. Make dua that my Iqbal come back to me & leave this woman. Make dua that we have a baby so we can be a family...Please help me. I don't know where else to turn. I cry so much. Please help me. I believe that Allah lead me to you because you can indeed help me...I look forward to your email reply Insha Allah.
Assalaamu Alaykum
Najma Khan, date of birth 24 January 1970, mother's name Rasheda. Husband's name Iqbal Khan, date of birth 9 January 1962, his mother's Khatija. We live in Johannesburg South Africa.
Jazaakalla Khair for your time. I hope to hear from you soon Insha Allah.

Spiritual match between prayer warriors & theologians
MorungExpress
Therefore, it is imperative for the prayer warriors to know that there are different spiritual gifts. If they say that theologians are not spiritual just because they do not prophesy, see vision and heal people, it is absolutely wrong.
