Monthly Al Kawthartreatment


Question

One of my mentors is ill but does not want to take any treatment. He said that taking treatment is against Tawakkul. But there is an advanced and lawful treatment for his disease. I want to know, what is the provision of medical treatment in Sharia? Is taking treatment the opposite of tawakkul? 7248998432

It is permissible to take treatment if you are sick. This is not contrary to Tawakkul. Because tawakkul is the belief that the means are God's creation and that they work by God's command. So we have to rely on Allah for the result. If God wills, healing will come, not otherwise. In the hadith, there is a cure for every disease. When the disease is treated according to the command of Allah, the cure is obtained. Some of the hadiths related to this are presented below. Hazrat Abu Darda Ra. Narrated from, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, Allaah created diseases and medicines and He also created cures for every disease. Therefore, take treatment. - Sunan Abu Dawood, Hadith: 364 Hadrat Usama bin Shuraik said: Some of the desert dwellers asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), "Shall we take treatment when we are sick?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Yes." Servants of God! You take treatment. - Jame Tirmidhi An Ansari Companion said, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went to see a wounded man. Seeing this, he said, call a doctor of such and such tribe for him. - Musnad Ahmad 5/361 Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas. He said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) blew the trumpet and gave special medicine to the nose to cure the disease through sneezing. - Saheeh Bukhari, Hadith: 5791 There are also many more hadiths. It is clear from these hadiths that it is permissible to take treatment and it is not contrary to tawakkul. 4882812387
