The ruling on the claim that the Qur'an only cures psychological illnesses

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. What is your view of the one who says that the Qur'an only cures psychological illnesses, where he states that the Qur'an's treatment of physical illnesses is a matter of charlatanism and sorcery, and this was published in one of the magazines?

The Shaykh:
The Qur'an is a healing for minds from false beliefs, illusions, and doubts; a healing for hearts; and a healing for bodies from physical and spiritual diseases. The one who says that the Qur'an is only a healing from spiritual diseases, not physical ones, is a liar and does not know the Qur'an at all.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. What does the saying of Allah the Exalted mean?

The Shaykh:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) recites for the sick person. Is not illness a physical illness? He recites for the sick person, and for the one afflicted with madness, the one whose mind is afflicted with madness. He recites for the one afflicted in his mind and the one afflicted in his body, because Allah named it a healing and a blessing,
[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to youكِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ
[Sad 38:29]
. So it is a blessing, and in it is a healing from every disease by the permission of Allah Mighty and Majestic. But the matter lies in faith; the matter lies in faith. The one who believes in the Qur'an that it is a healing. As for if the Qur'an is used in ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), he is a doubter, and he does not say it might not work; he sees that he does not benefit. It is necessary that when using ruqyah, there be with him faith and belief that the Qur'an is a healing, as Allah Mighty and Majestic named it: a healing for what is in the chests of the hearts, and a healing for bodies, and a healing from every disease by the permission of Allah Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
