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
