My
wife suffers from a certain disease that causes her to fear every thing and not
to be able to be alone at home while another questioner mentioned that he
suffers from the same problem to the extent that he can not go to the Masjid
(mosque) to perform Salah (Prayer) with the congregation. He asked for a remedy
for his disease away from soothsayers and charlatans.
The
Shaykh advised the two questioners along with all those who are concerned to
use the Adhkar (invocations and remembrances said at certain times on a regular
basis) which are ordained by Allah (Exalted be He) that achieve safety,
tranquility, peace and protection against Satan's tricks.
Among
these Adhkar is reciting Ayat-ul-Kursy (the Qur’anic Verse of Allah’s
Chair, Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:255): Allāh!
Lā ilāha illa
Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyum (the Ever
Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists).
His
Eminence Shaykh Ibn Baz described Ayat-ul-Kursy as being the
best and greatest Ayah (Qur’anic verse) for it stresses the principle of Tawhid
(belief in the Oneness of Allah) and devotion to Allah (Glorified be He). It
also shows Allah’s Majesty and that He is the Ever Living, the Owner of
everything and nothing weakens Him (may He be Glorified and Praised). The
Shaykh continued saying that when a person reads this Ayah after each Salah and
before going to bed, it protects him against all evils.
The
Shaykh then quoted the Sahih (authentic) Hadith in which the
Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Whoever recites Ayat Al-Kursi on going to
bed, Allah will assign an angel to protect them and Satan will not approach
them until the morning.
The
Shaykh asked the questioners to try this proven prescription so that their hearts
may be tranquil and that they do not see any harmful thing because the
Prophet (peace be upon him) only told about the undoubted truth.
Our eminent Shaykh emphasized that Allah
(Glorified and Exalted be He) ordained that every male and female Muslim is to
recite Surah (Qur’anic chapter) Al-Ikhlas and Al-Mu`awwidhatayn (Surahs
Al-Falaq and Al-Nas) after performing every obligatory Salah.
He continued that doing so is one of the causes of being healthy, safe, and
cure from all diseases. In addition, the reward that a person receives
for reciting Surah Al-Ikhlas equals that which they receive for reciting
one third of the Qur’an.
Shaykh `Abdul-`Aziz ibn Baz pointed out that
it is a Sunnah (a commendable act) that a person recites the three Surahs
mentioned above three times after Fajr (Dawn) Prayer, Maghrib
(Sunset) Prayer, and when going to bed for there are Sahih Hadith to
this effect.
