Falling ill is an inevitable part of the human experience. For Muslims, making dua (supplication) to Allah for improved health is an important act of faith and worship. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) made Ruqyah dua derived from the Holy Quran as a means of spiritual healing and recovery.
Let us explore 10 powerful duas for the sick from Islamic sources that can be recited to invoke Allah's divine help in curing diseases and restoring good health when afflicted by illness and infirmity.
Recite Surah Al-Fatihah as a Healing Prayer
The first chapter of the Holy Quran, Surah Al-Fatihah, is a concise yet profound supplication that is unparalleled in its healing blessings. The Prophet (SAW) prescribed reciting Al-Fatihah and blowing it over the sick as a curative Ruqyah dua that clearly manifests results by Allah's will.
Dua from Prophetic Prayers for Health in Sickness
When struck by disease himself, the Prophet (SAW) would supplicate, “O Allah, grant me health in my sickness and return my strength and give me healthiness after my illness.” This prophetic dua invokes divine aid for complete recuperation.
“Remove the Harm” Dua for Health Protection
The following dua taught by the Prophet (SAW) forms a protective shield against harm and sickness: “In the name of Allah with Whose name there is protection against every kind of harm in the earth or in the heaven, and He is All-Hearing and All-Knowing.”
Recite Ayat Al-Kursi for Soothing Relief
Ayat Al-Kursi, the verse of the throne, is renowned for its blessings and healing effects when recited. It is one of the best Muslim prayers for warding off pain and illness owing to its lofty status in the Quran for bringing comfort.
Dua of Prophet Ayyub (AS) When Grievously Ill
When the Prophet Ayyub (AS) was afflicted with a dreadful disease, he supplicated: “Verily, distress has seized me, and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy.” This powerful cry of help elicited Allah’s instant mercy.
Dua for Ailments Recommended by Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
For sufferers of disease or pain anywhere in the body, the Prophet (SAW) prescribed placing the right hand over the affected part and reciting: “Alhamdulillah hillazi athhaba annil azwa w’afaani.” This dua specifically invokes healing from Allah.
“O Living and Everlasting Sustainer” Dua from the Quran
Reciting, “Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum,” addressing Allah by his attributive names of the Ever-Living and Self-Sustaining, was instructed by the Prophet (SAW) as an extremely beneficial dua for relief from illness and weakness.
Chronic Ailment Dua from Prophetic Narration
For chronic ailments, persistently reciting this dua from a prophetic narration is transformative: “Allaahumma Rabban-Nas, adhhibal ba’sa, washfi, Anta al-Shaafi, laa shifaa'a illa shifaa'uka, shifaa'an laa yughaadiru saqaman (O Allah, O Lord of mankind, remove this disease and cure him. You are the Great Curer, and there is no cure but through Your healing, a cure that leaves no illness).”
“Remove this pain” Dua with Allah’s Blessed Names
Almighty Allah has beautiful names with curative powers. One dua invokes, “Allahumma azhib annil-harase was-humme wabarik fee badanee, birahmika ya arhamarraheemeen (O Allah, remove my pain and worry and bless my body with Your mercy, O most merciful of the merciful)”.
Surah Ikhlas Dua for Healing and Protection
The Prophet (SAW) emphasized that reciting Surah Ikhlas is valuable for eliminating affliction and attracting Allah’s relief. Its doctrine of Allah’s oneness fills the heart with light that drives out hardship.
These prophetic duas are profoundly potent in invoking divine cure from sickness by Allah’s leave. Muslims should actively recite them in faith when struck by health predicaments.
Let the art of dua be your beacon with eQuranekareem, guiding you through life’s darkest moments, and may it be the whisper of hope that reminds you, miracles do happen!
