1 min readAlso available in العربية

Illness and patience with it expiate sins and increase faith, as reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "No Muslim is afflicted with fatigue or illness... but Allah expiates some of his sins thereby."

As for the natural remedies recommended by Islam, they include: honey, Indian costus, cupping (hijama), and black seed.

Regarding the prophetic supplications (du'as) recommended for healing the sick, they include placing the hand on the site of pain and saying: "In the name of Allah" three times, then seven times: "I seek refuge in Allah and His power from the evil of what I find and what I fear," and saying: "Remove the harm, O Lord of mankind, and heal, You are the Healer. There is no healing except Your healing, a healing that leaves no sickness." It is also recommended to recite Al-Fatihah, Al-Mu'awwidhat (Surahs Al-Falaq and An-Nas), and the rest of the Qur'an.
