The Key Ingredient of All Medicine
Posted by admin | Filed under Manners, The Heart
Deeds are according to their intentions:
Say, “Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds.” [Surah al-An'aam (6):162]
[1] From ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) who said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) say, ‘Actions are but by intentions and every man shall have only that which he intended. Thus he whose migration (Hijrah to Madeenah from Makkah) was for Allah and His Messenger, his migration was for Allah and His Messenger, and he whose migration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his migration was for that for which he migrated.’” [al-Bukhaari (no. 1) and Muslim (no. 1907)]
[2] Abu Hurayrah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said, “In every living being there is reward.” [al-Bukhaari]
Benefits
- A condition for deeds to be accepted by Allah, the Most High, is a sincere intention for His sake alone and that it is according to the guidance of His Messenger (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam).
- Kindness is shown toward every creature in respect of its life, and human beings are from the most deserving. Excluded from this are animals and people that Allah has ordered us to kill, such as certain dangerous animals…
Based on Tuhfatul-Attibaa’ min Kalaam Khayril-Anbiyaa’ (Al-Arba’een at-Tibbiyyah) (p. 3) by Shaykh Waseem Fathillah.
So from this we can conclude that the key ingredient which is the right intention can be applied to the doctor giving the medicine as well as the patient who will be receiving it, if any one of them have a false intention to gain worldly wealth or honor etc. then the medicine might bring benefit but its reward is lost.
Another important point is that in every action that a Muslim performs lies some kind of reward, even giving and receiving medicine can bring reward if it is done for the sake of Allah and that is the right intention that is being mentioned here. This can also in-turn determine the effectiveness of the medicine as cure and disease are both from Allah alone.

Currently our food supplies are filled with more and more chemicals and unnatural substances that are toxic to the body. Not only this, but as our bodies struggle to fight these impurities, the current system of medication and drugs is failing us to find solutions to newly born diseases caused as a result of these toxins.
Medicine of the Prophet hopes to bring more light to some of these problems, while at the same time searching for solutions that are tried and tested - Reaching deep into our Islamic medicinal roots and collaborating with other groups that serve a more traditional and holistic approach that is not concentrated in just selling, but rather healing.
