Imam Reza's Golden Treatise on Medicine - Al-Shia The Scientific and Cultural Website of Shia belief Imam Reza’s Golden Treatise on Medicine 2022-12-28 751 Views Golden Treatise , Medicine Islam is a complete code of life, which caters for the spiritual as well as the material needs of mankind.

Many mental and spiritual illnesses arise from worry, grief, loneliness, nervous tension, and fear; these disturbances also lead to physical diseases and necessitate treatment of both body and soul at the same time. The fourteen Infallible personalities have comprehensive knowledge of the entire Book of God and its hidden secrets. They have instructed recitation of certain invocations and Qur’anic verses for the cure of a diseased soul when it suffers from psychological ailments.

The verses of the Holy Qur’an, special names of God, invocations, and the number of times it should be recited to achieve the desired purpose have been instructed by the Imams. It is worth memorizing all these special names of God and invocations. Surah-e-Hamd and Aayatal Kursi for instance are well-known for their wonderful effects.

Imam Ali (A.S) has said: “Human body is a big complex world and man himself is responsible for his disease and that human body provides medicine from within.” Man is not conscious about the wonderful power of his body to combat all diseases by virtue of the immune system, lymphatic glands, and antibodies existing within his body which can mysteriously cure different diseases.

God has revealed in the Holy Qur’an, “And We sent down in the Quran that which is a Cure and Mercy for the believers” (Isra:82). There are similar statements in Surah Yunus: 52 and in Surah Fussilat verses: 14.

In Dua Kumayl, we pray to God: “O the One whose name is medicine and whose glorification is cure….” Recitation of sublime names of God and imploring God through His messengers, His nominated Imams, His angels, and His honored servants with all humility and submission and with firm reliance in God can miraculously cure a person of his illness by command of God, Who can even change the hour of death when doctors have little hope of survival of their patient.
