As-Shafi - The (Physical) Healer (Dec 19th 2008)

Todays Friday sermon Huzoor talked about one of the divine attribute of God called As-Shafi means 'The Healer" - the one who cures.

Huzoor said people around the world are suffering from various kinds of illnesses and some recover and some do not. Regardless of the advanced facilities and technology, people realize that cure is not something a physician and his medicines can promise,but cure ultimately comes from the Almighty Allah.

Allah has created cure for every illness and these are hidden in nature – in vegetation and animals alike. Holy Quran and Hadiths, contain many such references – like honey , fly, black cinnamon, dates, water, mushroom etc. are few examples.

Huzoor enjoined Ahmadi students to get involved in these reasearches and urged all Ahmadi doctors to always keep in mind 'Allah is As-Shafi- the one who cures' and spread this message to their patients with prayers.

Huzoor said illness and disease comes from God, so does health and healing comes only from God. We should always pray and seek God's help and should never feel that only such and such doctor or hospital can help or cure them. May Allah help us to do so. Ameen.
