When should one resort to treatment with the Quran, and when with medication, knowing that the Quran is a cure for all physical, psychological, and spiritual ailments? And why might one feel a sense of hypocrisy if they use medication instead of the Quran?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Quran is a healing for all diseases, and seeking treatment with it does not preclude the use of other medicines. This does not indicate weakness of faith, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to treat himself with the Quran and also used other medicines. He commanded seeking treatment, saying: "Seek treatment, for Allah has not sent down a disease except that He has sent down a cure for it, known to those who know it and unknown to those who do not."
