How to treat fever in Islam?
Fever can signal an underlying health problem, and in Islam, a holistic approach involves seeking both medical and spiritual help. The Islamic viewpoint emphasizes the importance of combining medical treatment with prayers for a complete healing process.
Bukhar ka Ilaj In Quran
A powerful method to find relief from fever is by reciting specific Quranic verses. Surah Al A’raf (Chapter 7), Ayat No 143, is particularly significant for treating fever. It is believed that reciting this verse seven times, blowing on water, and then giving it to the patient can bring relief. The healing power of Quranic verses aligns with the Islamic belief that the Quran serves as a guide for all aspects of life.
Arabic Version:
فَلَمَّا تَجَلَّىٰ رَبُّهُۥ لِلۡجَبَلِ جَعَلَهُۥ دَكّٗا وَخَرَّ مُوسَىٰ صَعِقٗاۚ
falammaa tajallaa Rabbuhoo liljabali ja’alahoo dakkanw wa kharra Moosaa sa’iqaa;
During severe sickness, such as high fever, Muslims rely on specific supplications to seek Allah’s mercy and healing. Para No 17 Surah Anbya, Ayat No 69, is particularly significant in this context. Reciting this verse and placing it upon the sick person is believed to invoke Allah’s mercy, contributing to the reduction of intense fever.
Arabic Version:
قُلۡنَا يَٰنَارُ كُونِي بَرۡدٗا وَسَلَٰمًا عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ
