The Qur'an as a Cure for the Believer and the Disbeliever
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, he says: Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Fussilat 41:44] Is the Qur'an a healing for the believer and the disbeliever?
Answer:
The Noble Qur'an is a cure for whispers and psychological ailments. It is also a cure for worries and sorrows. It is a cure for the hearts from the disease of desires and doubts. It is a cure for what is in the breasts, as Allah the Exalted and Majestic said:[Yunus 10:57] He the Exalted said: [At-Tawbah 9:14] meaning it cures their hearts from what befalls them of worry, sorrow, and whispers.
It is also a cure for physical diseases. So it provides a cure for physical diseases. If it is recited over the sick person and the sick person is treated with ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) from the Qur'an or from the lawful supplications, he will be cured by the permission of Allah. So it is a cure from two aspects: a cure for the heart and a cure for the body. It is a cure, as Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said.
As for the disbeliever, he does not benefit from the Qur'an; he has no share in it, he does not benefit from the Qur'an; because he does not believe in the Qur'an, and because Allah deprives him of the benefit of the Qur'an because of his disbelief.
Yes, the disbeliever may be cured by ruqyah. As in the story of the group of Companions who descended as guests, or sought hospitality from some of the Arab tribes, but they did not host them. So their leader was bitten by a snake or a scorpion.
So they needed someone to treat him with ruqyah. They came to the Companions and said to them: Our leader or our chief has been bitten, do you have any ruqyah? They said: Yes, we do perform ruqyah, but you did not host us, so we will not perform ruqyah for you unless you give us a flock of sheep. So they gave them a flock of sheep. Then one of the Companions came and recited Surat al-Fatihah over the one who was bitten. He stood up as if he had been untied from a rope. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, cured him.
And this was due to the karamah (miracle granted to a righteous person) of these Companions, and to demonstrate the virtue of the Companions and the virtue of this Qur'an. So this is a specific issue, but in general, the disbeliever does not benefit from the Qur'an, and this disbeliever only benefited because of the Companions, so this is an honor for them, and a demonstration of their virtue, and a demonstration of the virtue of the Qur'an. Yes.
Your Eminence the Shaykh, he says: Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
Say, "It is, for those who believe, a guidance and cure."
قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هُدًى وَشِفَاءٌAnswer:

O mankind, there has to come to you instruction from your Lord and healing for what is in the breasts
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَتْكُم مَّوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَشِفَاءٌ لِّمَا فِي الصُّدُورِand satisfy the breasts of a believing people
