Kind of diseases according to Tibb-e-Nabawi ﷺ 

Diseases of Qalb: -

1. Chapter (Sura) 2 Al-Baqara, verse (Ayah) No. 10: -

Translation: There is a disease of deception in their Qalb (heart); & Allah lets their disease increase & they shall have painful punishment for the lies they have told.

2. Chapter (Sura) 74 Al-Muddaththir, verse (Ayah) No. 31: -

Translation: & that those in whose Quloob (hearts) there is a disease & the disbelievers may say: "What could Allah mean by this parable?"

3. Chapter (Sura) 24 An-Noor, verse no. (Ayah) 48-50: -

Translation: When such people are called to Allah & His Rasool that He may judge between them, behold! A party of them decline to come. However, if they have the truth on their side, they come to him voluntarily. Is there a disease in their Quloob (hearts)? Either they are skeptical, or else they fear that Allah & His Rasool will deny them justice. Nay! In fact they are the ones who are the wrongdoers.

 

How to talk to an unknown or Qalb diseased person: 

4. Chapter (Sura) 33 Al-Ahzab, verse no. (Ayah) 32: -

 

Translation: O wives of Nabi! You are not like the other women: if you fear Allah, then you should not be complaisant while talking to the men who are not closely related to you, lest the one in whose Qalb (heart) is a disease may thereby be encouraged (desire) & speak using suitable good words.

(Because they are having QALB disease their desire may get provoked by very soft speech).

About eating with sick, blind & lame: -

5. Chapter 24 (Sura) An-Noor, verse no. (Ayah) 61: -

Translation: There is no blame on the blind, nor there is blame on the lame, nor there blame on the sick to eat at your table.

About Fasting during illness: -

6. Chapter (Sura) 2 Al-Baqara, verse no. (Ayah) 184: -

Translation: Fast the prescribed number of days; except if any of you is ill or on a journey, let him fast a similar number of days later. For those who cannot endure it for medical reasons, there is a ransom: the feeding of one poor person for each missed day. But if he feeds more of his own free will, it is better for him. However, if you truly understand the rationale of fasting, it is better for you to fast.

Illness during Hajj or Umrah: -

7. Chapter (Sura) 2 Al-Baqara, verse no. Ayah 196: -

Translation: Complete the Hajj (obligatory pilgrimage to Makkah) & the Umrah (optional visit to Makkah) for the sake of Allah. If you are prevented from proceeding then send such offering for sacrifice as you can afford & do not shave your head until the offerings have reached their destiny. But if any of you is ill or has an ailment in his scalp which necessitates shaving, he must pay ransom either by fasting or feeding the poor or offering a sacrifice. If in peacetime anyone wants to take the advantage of performing Umrah & Hajj together, he should make an offering which he can afford; but if he lacks the means, let him fast three days during the Hajj & seven days on his return making ten days in all. This order is for the one whose household is not in the precincts of the Sacred Mosque (Masjid). Fear Allah & know that Allah is strict in retribution.

About Tayammum: -

8. Chapter (Sura) 4 An-Nisaa, verse no. (Ayah) 43: -

Translation: O believers! Do not offer your Salah when you are drunk until you know what you are saying; nor after seminal emission, except when you are travelling, unless you wash your whole body. If you are sick, or on a journey, or one of you has used the toilet, or has had contact with women (sexual relation with wives) & can find no water, then make Tayammum: take some clean earth & rub your faces & hands with it. Allah is Lenient, Forgiving.

 Points:

F We should seek treatment for all the above types of diseases. We are mostly concern only about physical diseases & health, & neglect the psychological & spiritual diseases.

F In Quran & Hadees we get references of diseases & their treatment with herbs, water, honey, Quranic verses, Dua, Ruqyah & etc.

F These are for us; we rely on doctors only, though doctors only know about physical & some psychological diseases & do not know about spiritual diseases.

F Let’s not neglect any more, life is too short, we & our new generation is completely ignorant about treatment principles of Nabi ﷺ nor do we try to learn it.

F We should have special courses designed, so that we all can learn & teach the principles of Nabi ﷺ & get enlightened with Barkat of Sunnah.

F Nabi ﷺ used Ruqyah or Dua to get cure, also taught us to do the same, there are many Hadees about using Ruqyah & Dua as treatment, means they use to get cure by Allah’s will with Ruqyah or Dua only.

F Sahabah were well versed with the principles of treatment of Nabi ﷺ & got great success in this field.

F We lack for the knowledge of the medical science of our Nabi ﷺ & are suffering a lot.
