Prayers and Supplications hold immense significance in Islam. Whenever a person faces difficulties or feels a lack of peace, they often rush to seek solutions from a spiritual healer or obtain a talisman. Similarly, when faced with illness, many rely solely on doctors and forget to turn to Allah for help. This is a grave mistake, as the true source of help and peace is none other than Allah Himself, as highlighted in The Classy Books on Prayers and Supplications.
Turning to Allah: The True Solution
In the Qur’an and Hadith, Allah and His Messenger ﷺ have mentioned countless supplications and prayers that assist in overcoming difficulties. When we encounter problems, our first step should always be to turn to Allah. Allah says:
“And your Lord said: ‘Call upon Me; I will respond to you.'” (Surah Ghafir: 60)
This verse teaches us to pray with full attention and sincerity. Allah listens to our prayers and never disappoints us.
Seeking Healing During Illness
When a person falls ill, we should always seek healing from Allah. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“When anyone goes to visit a sick person, he should place his hand on their head or forehead, offer them comfort, and pray for their healing.” (Jami’ at-Tirmidhi)
Not only is this important for our spiritual health, but it also emphasizes the importance of seeking physical healing. While seeking medical treatment is also a part of the Sunnah, it is essential to turn to Allah first and seek His mercy, as medicine cannot be effective without Allah’s will. Therefore, we should pray to Allah first, and then take medicine.
The Importance of Prayers and Supplications
The prayers and supplications taught by Allah and His Messenger ﷺ are treasures for us. Through these supplications, we can improve our spiritual state and find solutions to our problems. Some of these include:
- Recitation of the Qur’an: The recitation of the Qur’an brings peace and spiritual relief. It is an eternal remedy that no magic can match.
- Prayer (Salah): Performing prayer and bowing before Allah brings comfort to the heart and strength to the soul. When prayer is offered with the proper etiquette, it wipes away sins and their effects.
- Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah): Reciting the remembrance of Allah, especially during times of distress, instantly soothes the heart. Failing to make daily dhikr a part of our lives is a great deprivation.
Conclusion:
In today’s world, when we face various challenges, it is essential to make the supplications and prayers taught by Allah and His Messenger ﷺ a part of our lives. These not only improve our spiritual well-being but also grant us physical health, peace, and continuity in our actions.
Let us all turn to Allah, seek healing, health, and success in both this world and the Hereafter, and protect ourselves from the obstacles created by our desires and the whisperings of Satan. By seeking the solutions to our problems in the light of the Qur’an and Sunnah, we can find peace and guidance. May Allah assist us and bless us with His mercy!
