If "Only Allah", then "Allah Alone" is our watchword

The story of Job, resonated with me with assurance that Allah, The Healer, The Curer is the one who eliminates all illnesses, afflictions, stresses, dis-eases, etc, without any assistance (association). Job relied solely on The One Who Makes His Signs Clear.
2183 And Job when he called his Lord "I have been afflicted with harm, and you are the Compassionate!"
2184 So We answered him, and We removed what was afflicting him, and We brought him back his family and others with them as a mercy from Us and a reminder to those who serve.Job is one of the examples of what true reliance on Allah really takes, trust and patience.
3844...We found him steadfast. What a good servant! He was obedient.
The stories of the prophets throughout the Quran, you notice, none of them sought help from no one but Allah.
Peace.

@ Bondsmen are those who are inclined to believe in God alone, and who will not associate any one to God and seek not the help or protection from any one other than God. And 'tpna', you were in continuous prayerfulness and contact with your God.
I feel very blessed, by the grace of Allah, my understanding in comparison to my past has reached to new heights. I can not even imagine, if God wills, what I will know in the future to come. He is Allah, Al-Mutahhir, the Cleanser; He who Cleanses from Idolatry and Spiritual Evil.
3922 If God opens one's chest to peacefully surrender, then he will be on a light from his Lord. So woe to those whose hearts are hardened against remembering God. They have gone far astray.
And you were grateful to and surely not ungrateful to your God so as to be a bad example to deviate others from the path of God by observing this ayat 39.8 in your 26 days of endurance, without associating doctors, their advise and their medicines to Allah's Grace.
I felt this would be best, for God's sake, to share this incident that had occur-ed to me to be a living testimony to you all on this forum.
"And when distress afflicts a man he calls upon his God turning to Him persistently; then when He bestows upon him a favour, he forgets that for which he called upon Him before, and sets up associations(doctors) to Allah that he may be a bad example to stray off from His path. Say Enjoy yourself in your ungratefulness a little, surely you are of the inmates of the fire." tpna, surely you are saved from this red warning. So rejoice over what Allah had saved you from.
And again you have practised this ayat 39.49 as a demonstration to other believers
So when harm afflicts a man he calls upon Us; then, when We bestow him a favour from Us, he says I have been given it only by means of (doctors'knowledge. Nay, it is a trial, but most of them do not know. Again tpna, you are out of this red area. What a beautiful way and a transformation through which Allah is conducting you!
Through out the 26 days, and still continuing, I was/am holding tight to these verses...
23 Those who acknowledge the unseen
...and
7180 To Allah belong the beautiful names, so call Him by them; and disregard those who blaspheme in His namesWhile, constantly seeking His attributes, I sought Him "O Allah, the Protector, shield me away from all evil knowledge, shaytans, and evil jinns, and make me firm in believing in You, O Healer, You are my sole Provider, You are Allah, The Lord of the Worlds"
I had to trust Allah, by distinguishing from my senses; hearing, seeing, touching, tasting, and especially feeling, to the unseen force. All the while, seeking forgiveness. Please, do not get me wrong, this was very challenging for me and still is till this day, because at the moment i am in a tug of war battle between desires. But what I know from scripture, seeking Him constantly to keep me guided and firm in me belief is most essential for me to be with the successful ones, God willing.
3159 ...place thy trust in God for, verily, God loves those who place their trust in Him.
All Praises and Worship is due to Allah.
Peace.

Armanaziz,
Believe in Allah the Hearer of your supplication; if we are believers we have to believe and lookup to the All Knowing, the Most Wise. Who is truer in informing or revealing than Allah.
"After all just like good health comes from Allah alone, all knowledge also comes from Allah alone, right?"
Surely, that is my belief. And I have nothing against you if you choose other means of acquiring knowledge.
Salam brother, thanks for your kind response.
Going to school for education or going to a hospital for treatment does not compromise the fact that health and knowledge all come from Allah. Nor is it any "Other means" of acquiring health and knowledge. There is no other means - all if from Allah.
You are welcome to have your views. It just seems that your preaching ability and strong conviction could have better use than doing publicity against medical professionals all the time. There are millions of the problem in the world - "medical profession"just don't seem to be the number one of them. But perhaps you know better where to spend your time.
May Allah guide us all to the straight route.

ArmanThe Problem of the Millennium
Arman,
There may be millions of problems but Allah has been forgiving all of them except for one problem Association to Him - calling upon others besides Allah. Therefore and thus, there is only one problem in all the worlds - in the past, in the present and in the future Association to Allah.
Arman, to every nation Allah sends the Prophets as a last and final warning to the people to free them from association, after which their doom is cast upon them if their denial continues. Allah seizes them with poverty and diseases Allah has sent each and every prophet to all those cities with such signs from Allah, to demonstrate to the people that the Provider and the Curer is none but Allah (6.42, 7.94). Prophet Ibrahim, Ayyub, Esa were a few citation inscribed in the Book. Only from the denial of all the prophets has let to the million-diseases. All the prophets brought with them the Sign of Allah The Provider, The Curer.
Today again, poverty and the million-diseases have reached their peak; and people have been ending their lives feeding upon man invented drugs while at the same time staying away from food and starving from man made artificial scarcity for God produced food for their lives.

Salamun alaikum.
Today again, poverty and the million-diseases have reached their peak; and people have been living on man invented drugs while at the same time starving from man made artificial scarcity for God produced food for their lives.
Thanks brother, what you say is quite agreeable ... except for the "million-diseases reaching their peak" part. I seriously doubt if you can prove with facts that the current generation is suffering from more "physical" diseases compared to any time in the past. Rather the life expectancy data world-wide says the opposite.
Furthermore, in your last statement quoted above, the second part (food scarcity) is indeed a true problem with global magnitude that we should strive to solve - while the first part (man invented drugs) hardly seems to come anywhere close. Invention of drugs are just like any other inventions - computers, transport, infrastructure and so on - all gifts of Allah to men to make their life better. Yes, overuse and misuse of any technology has its problem - and drugs are no exception - but comparing the medical use of drug with "shirk" and putting it in the same category as global food scarcity does sound like an issue blown way out of proportion.
May Allah guide us all to the straight route.

Diseases and Life expectancy from the Quranic Perspective
Arman,salam.
The under mentioned are a few of the million-diseases with symptoms and syndromes that are persistently chronic and intermittently acute; and them being causative factors for the mortality of the suffering mankind in total, globally. I am not blowing anything out of proportions. Rather I am exposing the truth deliberately overlooked; and the cooked up statistics that form the basis of the documented medical facts and illustrated figures.
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, neurodegenerative diseases; Autoimmune diseases growingly affecting almost any organ; chronic tonsillitis, appendicitis; thyroiditis, hormonal imbalances; psoriasis; IBS; cancers; heart diseases cerebrovascular disease, heart failure, ischaemic cardiopathy, cardiomyopathy, idiopathic diseases; Myalgia, polymyositis, encephalomyelitis, chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD); chronic hepatitis; cerebral palsy (all types); any chronic pain syndromes and especially post surgical pains; chronic osteo-articular diseases osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis; gout; chronic renal failure, chronic Kidney Disease; almost any and every gynaecological problem; chronic respiratory diseases asthma, chronic pulmonary diseases, pulmonary hypertension; Deafness and hearing impairment; Hypertension; Diabetes mellitus; Endometriosis; Blood Pressure; Fibromyalgia; Epilepsy; Mental illness; Osteoporosis; Periodontal disease; certain anaemia and other haemoglobin disorders; Lyme Disease; psycho somatic disorders; and almost all hereditary disorders including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and many more.
With such terminally leading diseases and many more endless in list manifestly showing their symptoms, and some in remissions; and some in exacerbations; and some in the making, thus with hidden symptoms and syndromes, and every patient dying of the diseases being diagnosed shows the high mortality rate with added adverse effects and afflictions due to drugs and medicines that makes wholesome affliction. And this is the picture at a glance of the world ill fated population as a direct result of what their own hands have wrought upon themselves by believing doctors on par with the All Knowing, All Encompassing, Almighty.
Allah says And We sent to no city a prophet except that We seized its people with poverty and diseases that they might humble themselves (before the All Knowing, All Encompassing).Your God is the Forgiver, Full of Mercy. If He took them to task now for what they earn, He would have hastened on their afflictions; but theirs is a life expectancy from which they will find no escape.
Our understandings concerning the Truth do change from individual to individual; here we are only exchanging our point of view; not discussing even. Your input is most welcome. At one point in this exchange of points, either you or I might stop responding which means 'For you is Yours!' and 'For me is Mine!' That means we respect each other.
May Allah guide us all to the straight route.

Salam brother.
The verbose names of diseases that you mention - most of them have been there all along; they have merely been named in recent times - by the very medical scientists whom you discredit. In current world if any city is experiencing the wrath of Allah - that city has to be one in the Middle East or Africa - medical science is hardly the root cause for these. The only major medical epidemic in today's world - Ebola is prevalent in communities which are mostly outside the reach of modern medical care and the disease originated from the natural world - a fact that farther weakens your claims. Had Ebola surfaced 500 years ago it would have taken a major global death toll - like many epidemics in the last millennium. Praise and thanks to Allah who has given men the knowledge and technology to prevent, contain and cure diseases like this.
Regarding the point of exchange where we seek our own path - for me that point is now. Best of luck with your journey.
May Allah guide us all to the straight route.

Even though, I did this to myself Dr Fazl, this has been a beautiful lesson and experience because it has brought me so dear and near towards Allah then I have ever experienced in my life.
Brother tpna,
You had been tolerating, by the leave of Allah, all your affliction either small or greater; Allah gives you of His tolerance and forbearance and He is the Reckoner of the time determined and the period of your patience. You will receive your goodly reward from the Reckoner; and you have been receiving the greatest gift of Allah - more and more of your faith in Allah alone. When Allah blesses you with worldly comforts also sooner or later, become more and more humble bringing down your pride below your feet, and say All glory be to Allah, the God of the worlds. Now tpna, it is time to have an ayat or two to verify and to get satisfied upon the ayats of Allah.
"The sacred period is for the sacred period; and for violations is just retribution. So whoever exceeds on you, then exceed on him in the same way that he has exceeded on you. And fear Allah and know that Allah is with those who fear Him."
"The Sacred period is for the Sacred period." The sacred period in your life is that period of your patience observed for the sake of Allah believing in His Forgiveness and putting the Trust in His never ending reward; and to you Allah promises "I am with you all the time, until last day. tpna, you are growing in your peace of mind and health and your sacred period is extended and furthered. Fear Allah more, that you shall not lose your patience whatever be the inducements (entertainment, pop culture, sports, gossip, mocking, back biting and involve in social gatherings/parties/drinking...etc) and utterances (A very close friend (only friend) of mine called me yesterday, and he said that one thing he does not like about me, is that he feels I am anti-social (my parents say the same thing). from the closer friends and far away people. All we have to do is to seek forgiveness for your far and near from Allah. Patience is the last word of Allah to those who follow the prophets and the messengers. Here it is
"And certainly even the messengers were denied before you, but they were patient over their denial, and they (the people who followed the messengers) were harmed until Our victory came to them. And none can alter the words of Allah. And there has certainly come to you some information about the messengers."
And hence tpna, if you are harassed it has happened to even messengers before you; and certainly this message has come to you about the messengers for your peace and solace. Be reminded of this portion of Allah's admonition "And they will not cease from fighting against you till they have made you turn away from your straight path, if they can."
For the rest of your post the explanation shall follow soon..

O You Under The Bed Clothing!
The line in the verse 73.20 goes like this .... Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that ye count it not, and turns unto you in mercy ....
Any verse in Quran does not refer to 'Muslims' but to mankind; Allah has created Night and Day for the mankind to enlighten and reassure them by the Night; and enliven and prosper by the Day. The Night is created for us to rest therein and to seek forgiveness for all that we had done during the Day against our conscience, The Book. We are accountable for what we had committed during our Day time; and it is time we sought His Mercy. The Night proceeds with the purification of our conscience, by The Book, until a period during the Night passes by cleansing us of our addiction to evil. So for each and every one of us there is a period of awakening in our conscience before the sleep overtakes us. Early to bed as the Night falls thus gives mankind chance for this retreat in order that they are pruned and primed by the Nights. You cannot fall asleep without this retreat for a wonderfully short, short sleep. Your night is over when Allah says 'wakeup, enough of it!' When you are thus awakened, the time may be deep into the Night or the early hours; never go back to sleep without getting up, remembering Allah dutifully and with gratitude; if you are sure it is Allah who gives you sleep, then it is He who wakes you up now. If we honour Allah then it is that we wake up, refresh us and bring to our memory His grace upon us as much as possible and praise His Glory for all the good He has bestowed upon us during the Day and during the Night, all our lives.
In this way Allah says some of you stand steadfast in My remembrance during the times of wakefulness, in gratitude - Night or Day, except for the naps now and then as per My allowance to you. Therefore you are not the ones who calculate the Night and the Day. And until this day Allah had forgiven you for this and has turned to you in Mercy.

The Covenant Of Thur
2.63"And remember when We raised ?Thur? above you and took covenant from you and said, ?Have a firm hold on to what We have given you and ponder over it. So that you will become pious.?
Allah has raised ?Thur? above us before taking the covenant. The Covenant has the following agreement we shall have a firm hold on to what Allah had given to us over it. It is not ?A mountain?. But a word of promise of mountainous proportions from Allah that you will have power over it; and in the Name of Allah see all the benefits and beauty it has for you; its bountiful splendour I have showered upon it for you; they shall listen to your heart and echo your heart in action (34.10); wherever your hearts want falls from it, small or big, it must produce it then and there; when you want spacious pathway up the mountain, it shall pave way for you; all the splendor and beauty must flourish in their varieties according to your wish in the Name of Allah - it must echo you. You can make the mountains displace (13.31), make them fly and disperse them like the dispersion of clouds (27.8 into thin winds. You shall throw the mountains up in the sky and make them bang into each other and fall like a heap of sand and dust and spread it up without ups and downs thus erasing their very traces of their existence before. And you raise your plains into mountains that shall obey your wish, in the Name of Allah.
And thus, if you are a believer, believe that you need Him for the wishful liveliness of your wilfully obedient heart into which He had already breathed His Ruh, as His Wish and Will. And in the Name of Allah, the whole world, the skies and the earth shall echo it in our service and with subservience. Henceforth, have a firm hold on to the ?Thur? - The covenant of Thur.

Bar the Religions; Bat for Religiousness
"But whoever join a people, between who and you there is equanimity; or those who have come to you not willing to oppose you, nor willing to fight their own people ? for had Allah willed, He would have turned them against you; and, at that, they would have certainly fought against you. If they stayed away from you without fighting you, and wish peace with you ? then Allah allows not a way for you against them (4.90) "
This verse speaks about how a believer in Allah should conduct and behave with the rest of whole population who are not believers in Allah; feel the hearts of the people irrespective of one?s religion, religious appearance and ritualistic religious practices. The above verse endorses the righteous attitude to be practiced religiously dignifying your conscience that which satisfies The Most Religious, Allah.

Fulfil Allah's Promises
Allah will fulfil our PromisesFor the mankind's redeemed life on this earth, what Allah places before it is, to adhere to an agreement between Him and the mankind. The only proviso in this agreement is We are to fulfil Allah's Promises; and He will fulfil our promises.
"Fulfil My promise and I will fulfil your promise 2/40."
We are to remember what the promise was for our living on this earth by His bountiful Grace. The only agreement is that we are to fulfil His Promise; and in return, Allah's Promise upon us is His Grace, Bounteous.
Let us all listen and remember first what Allah Promises to us Every lively, beautiful and lasting Wish you harbour in your breasts all through your ives, are breathed into you by Me; and these are My promises to you which we are expected to fulfil.
And how to fulfil Allah's promises is to put the whole Grace, Blessings and Bestows back in His Trust without a moment's pause. Allah promises paradises from Him in exchange for our wealth and lives He gave us 9/111. Are we willing to whole heartedly accept to this deal of Allah, in its purest form? When our hearts surrender to this, then it is that we have surely kept His Promise; and Allah will Keep up His Promise Yes! Paradise for us in this earth and Paradises for us in the Next World too.

Being in Prayer all the time is Prayerfulness
And it is 'Timed Ordinance' until death.Allah sends down His Will upon the hearts of mankind, without let up through his every inspiration throughout life; and every 'Will' is bounties of His Treasures, never to let go off our hands; as the treasures of His Bounties are revealed to us, it happens as a flash and at that fraction of the moment our hearts become still and peaceful. We just feel this peace of mind very, very transiently, due to which either we lose the 'Light of Revelation or The Wahi' then and there or stay in that thought appreciating the Revelation for a very short while and then forgetting or dismissing it out unmindfully as worthless imaginations; this monumental loss is because of not being in the constant remembrance of Allah or being prayerful. In every fraction of our each inspiration, we are revealed of the Will of Allah with 'Peace or the word of Salam' from Him. This 'Salam' will be much felt by us off and on, at times of great stress due to fear or anxiety when we will be always prayerful, remembering Allah constantly in our each breath.
It is Allah who says 'Salam' to you during your apprehensive state of mind and we seek the same that which is proposed to us by the Almighty, turning to Him; how we seek the peace is where we deviate. If we are prayerful then we reply to Allah as this "O Allah there is none but You who can give me Salam; I surrender myself to You for peace; make me a Muslim unto You alone; and strengthen my 'Iman - the belief in Your word of Promise and make me a Mumin unto You alone." And only to this abject surrendering or prostration or sujud to the Will of Allah we receive the answer from Him. Allah is nearer to us than our hearts; and whoso believes in this and being in prayerful state all the time, shall intercede with Allah on his own behalf. Allah answers the call of such callers who call on Him.
On the contrary those who do the ritualistic prayer, they are like deaf, blind and dumb to His time of revelation or we ignore His call on us. Allah is ever watcher over our hearts and He cannot be cheated through the body languages of ritual prayers. Their prayer is a show unto others, while Allah is ever cognisant of what is in the breasts of each of us. Mankind is unlikely to falter in responding to the Call of Allah and shall not miss out on the time, if only they stay prayerful in their souls.
For example Allah ordains upon us, ?Keep up your humility for Me over your anger!? it is a timed ordinance ? unless we are believers and have fear for Allah we are likely to fall a prey to our own satanic influences and become angry with others. Timed prostration to the Will of Allah, or being prayerful, or the prayer conscience is lost there. If we fear Allah there is no need to fear about anything or any one in the world. Peace and protection from Allah follows us wherever we go for Allah is ever Keeper over His bondsmen.
4.103
Thus when you are strengthened in your faith, keep remembering Allah while standing, or sitting, or resting on your sides; and when the peaceful situation arrives surrender to His Will in time; surely to ?prostrating to His Will? is a timed ordinance upon the believers. -
Allah is Grateful, Appreciative
If you indeed love to acquire of the beautiful attributes of Allah such as
- Forgiveness of Him and
- The abstract Power of Him
Then upkeep the following
- Do good to others openly or secretly; and
- Forgive the wrong doers
What a great way to attain of the two attributes of Allah?
4.149
When you do a good openly or secretly or forgive the wrong @ ? for Allah indeed is Most Forgiving, All Powerful.@ Those who do such righteous deeds, their hearts are gratefully blessed by Allah of His attributes ? Forgiving and Mightiness.

If Muslims Fear disgrace and social kick out, Follow Isa
Whoever believes in Allah and His messengers and differentiate not between any of them, soon He will give them their reward; and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Merciful 4/152.
Any one who fears disgrace, severe punishment and social kick out as the so called muslims do suffer today by what Allah has fore warned and decreed upon whoever ?adheres? to one messenger and turns away from another messenger, then follow Isa Taurat, Injeel 3/55 as is said in the Quran, so that Allah will make such Muslims exalted above every disbelieving Muslims, Jews, Christians and Sabians 2/62 in the world. Allah will Forgive the muslims and show them His Mercy.
