1 | O you who believe! Let it be said: Al-Ilaj; |
2 | The Cure; |
3 | And the twenty-seventh name of Allah, the Infinite, the Unique, the All Knowing. |
4 | The wisdom and knowledge of the body of living things; |
5 | The skill of the therapeutae to see the root cause of illness, not just symptoms; |
6 | The art of preparing herbs and ointments without magic, |
7 | To sooth or remove pain and to heal illness. |
8 | Allah is the ultimate therapeutae of the soul. |
9 | The cure of the illness that crosses boundaries. |
10 | The Romans viewed malady and cure through magic. |
11 | This is the ignorance of the Umay-Yad who believe illness is because of curse. |
12 | Do not believe such ignorance. |
13 | A man who drinks water from a poisoned well will get sick. |
14 | Just as a man who eats uncooked shellfish or bird, will surely die in agony; |
15 | A wound that is not clean, will become rotten and kill a man; |
16 | Just as a man who does not clean his clothes or his intimate parts, |
17 | Shall attract to himself discomfort and malady. |
18 | All such words are logic and knowledge, without magic. |
19 | Should a man be ill with pain or fever, let him eat or smoke from the Kannabis plant; |
20 | If he be in great pain and malady, give him the juice of the Opion plant. |
21 | Thus our ancestors have used wisely such gifts of Allah. |
22 | Thus treat knowledge of cure wisely and respectfully. |
23 | As Allah seeks not that his children are in pain. |
