Abstract
The Qur’ān, more than once, has described itself as shifā’
(cure) for man as such without any specification of the moral, the
psychological, the physical and the speculative in him, which are of
course different aspects of the organic wholeness that he is. A
perfectly healthy person, according to the Qur’ānic teachings, is the
one who is at peace with himself, with the environments as well as
with God. It is with reference to the acquisition of such total
peacefulness that the painful element whatever, specially that which
is supposed to accompany a diseased state of affairs, stands relieved.
Besides, prayers sincerely addressed to God invoke Divine causality
which, in supersession of all lower causalities, operates directly and
is likely to cure all diseases that are ordinarily sought to be treated
through mundane methods. Even the words of the Qur’ān, being
nothing less than Divine speech, are a source of comfort to the
afflicted ones and a therapeutic agent in regard to all diseases
