Reminder for my beloved brothers and sister who are suffering from disease. I just wanna say don’t lose hope in the Almighty, remember the story of prophet Ayoub (Alaihi-salam). Ayoub (Alaihi-salam) was a man having much wealth of all kinds; beats, slaves, sheep, vast lands of Haran and many children. All those favors were taken from him and he was physically afflicted as well. Never a single organ was sound except his heart and tongue, with both of which he glorified Allah, the Almighty all the time day and night. His disease lasted for a long time until his visitors felt disgusted with him. His friends kept away from him and people abstained from visiting him. No one felt sympathy for him except his wife. In this helpless sate, Ayoub turned to Allah, not to complain but to seek His mercy. Our Lord says in His Book of Guidance what can be translated as: And (remember) Ayoub, when he cried to his Lord: Verily, distress has seized me, and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy. So We answered his call, and We removed the distress that was on him, and We restored his family to him (that he had lost), and the like thereof along with them, as a mercy from Ourselves and a Reminder for all who worship Us.{21:83-84} Almighty Allah also instructed:Remember Our slave Ayoub, when he invoked His Lord saying: Verily! Satan has touched me with distress (by losing my health) and torment (by losing my wealth)! Allah said to him: Strike the ground with your foot: This is a spring of water to wash in and cool and a refreshing drink. And We gave him back his family, and along with them the like thereof as a Mercy from Us, and a reminder for those who understand. {38:41-43} Prophet Ayoub (Alaihi-salam) was repentant, remembering Allah with thankfulness, patience, and steadfastness. Allah the Almighty has praised Him in the Quran saying: Truly! We found him patient. How excellent a slave! Verily, he was ever oft returning in repentance to Us!.{38:44} This story should remind us that we should never make our worship and sincerity toward Allah contingent on our perceived blessings. Allah tests us in many ways and we should, therefore, be steadfast in His worship constantly. For the brothers and sisters who are ill and suffering from disease. I ask Allah, the Mighty, the Lord of the Mighty Throne, to cure you. Oh Allah! The Sustainer of Mankind! Remove the illness, cure the disease. You are the One Who cures. There is no cure except Your cure. Grant them a cure that leaves no illness. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet, Muhammad, and upon his family and companions and whoever follows them in piety until the Day Of Judgment.
