iconSufa 29 - The Cure (Al-Ilaj)

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