Question
My 5 year old daughter is on and off sick. Presently she is severely ill. The doctors cannot find anything wrong with her medically. They were treating her with vitamins, but to no benefit. She is also very aggressive. What should I read to help in this problem?
Answer
All sicknesses and everything else are in reality from Allah Ta‟ala. Nothing happens without the decree of Allah Ta‟ala. However, we are unable to understand the wisdom underlying the decrees of Allah Ta‟ala. All the doctors and the hakeems are unable to cure any sickness if it is not the will of Allah Ta‟ala. Therefore, we can only make dua and hope for the mercy of Allah Ta‟ala. This world is full of trials and tribulations. There is a reason for every difficulty and calamity which befalls us. Whenever a difficulty of any kind befalls us, then resort to Taubah and Istighfaar (seeking forgiveness), have Sabr (patience) and make dua. Then accept the decree of Allah Ta‟ala whatever it may be. We all are reliant only on the Mercy of Allah Ta‟ala. Never complain. Bear every trial with Sabr and do not divert the focus from Allah Ta‟ala.
Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that Surah Faatihah is a cure for every sickness. Therefore, place your right hand on your daughter‟s head, recite Surah Faatihah thrice and blow on her. Do so daily. Also daily recite Surah Ikhlaas 3 times, Surah Falaq 3 times, Surah Naas one time and Aayatul Kursi and blow on your daughter.
Always make dua. Never allow the children to be outside at the time of Maghrib.
