🌟 Introduction: Healing Comes From Allah Alone
Illness is a test — sometimes of the body, sometimes of the heart, and sometimes of faith.
Islam teaches us that true healing comes only from Allah, and among the greatest spiritual remedies He has given us is Ruqyah.
Allah says:
“And We send down of the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy for the believers.”
