Does treatment with the Quran cure physical diseases like cancer, just as it cures spiritual diseases like the evil eye and possession, and is there any evidence for that?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Quran and supplication (Du'a) are, by Allah's will, a cure for all ills. Allah Almighty says: (Say, "It is for those who believe, a guidance and a cure") and (And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercy for the believers). The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to recite Surah Al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat (Surahs Al-Falaq and An-Nas) into his cupped hands three times before sleeping, then wipe his body with them, starting with his head, face, and chest.
