Indeed almost all remedies to treat sickness or heal from pains of hardship are in Remembrance of God (Zikr Allah) as mentioned, for example, in the Supplication (Du’a) Kumayl by Imam Ali Bin Abi Talib (AS) :-
" يا من اسمه دواء وذكره شفاءٌ "
Meaning : O You (Allah) Who His Name is Medicine and His Remembrance is Healing.
Also in another sayings he said : Zikr Allah is weapon against Satan, and : Zikr Allah is supports for Belief and guards against Satan.
There are in facts lots of sayings and teachings from Prophet Mohamed (PBUH – peace be upon him) and Islamic scholars regarding the importance and advantages of healing with Zikr Allah. In general, this type of healings can be divided into two parts :-
- Zikr Allah to protect from any types of hardships and sickness so as they would not occur.
- Zikr Allah to heal the hardships or pains after they already occur.
In the first part of Zikr, Islam had taught lots of recitations to prevent oneself from being attacked by hardships and sickness, for example in one of the sayings of Imam Ali Bin Abi Talib (AS) where he said that ‘Whoever recites, after the performance of Subh (dawn) prayer, ten times of ;
" سبحان الله العظيم وبحمده ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم "
Allah would protect him from blindness, madness, leprosy, poverty and destruction (of house) or being afraid of elderness’.
And also from the sayings of Imam Jaafar al-Sadiq when he said,’ Whoever recites, after the performance of Subh and Maghrib prayer, seven times of:
" بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم "
Allah would protect him from seventy types of disaster, the less of them are wind, leprosy and insanity’.
While, in the second part, the Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) and his fellow households as well as companions has given lots of remedies in terms of Zikr, depending on what types of disaster or problems faced by their followers.
I'll go on some of the examples one by one soon...
