Dua for life threatening illnesses

Once my respected teacher, Shaykh Imran Ibn Adam mentioned:


Rasullullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam has taught us many Ad’iya (plural of Dua) for all our needs. We need to turn to Allah subhanahu wata’ala when we are sick and even when we are in good health. Today many life threatening diseases have come into existence i.e. swine flu, aids etc.

The following Du'a should be read whenever one can, especially after every Salah. Inshallah, Allah subhanahu wata’ala will protect him or if one is afflicted Allah subhanahu wata’ala will give him Sabr, and even cure.


عن أنس ‏ أن النبي ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏كان يقول ‏ ‏اللهم إني أعوذ بك من الجنون ‏ ‏والجذام ‏ ‏والبرص وسيئ ‏ ‏الأسقام (رواه النسائ) ‏


Sayyiduna Anas radiallahu anhu narrates that the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam used to supplicate: "Allahumma inni a`udhu bika minal-barasi, wal-jununi, wal-judhami, wa sayyi'il-asqami'


(O Allah! I seek refuge in You from leucoderma, insanity, leprosy and evil diseases).'' [Al- Nasa'i].


Leucoderma is a disease which gives rise to the appearance of white spots on the skin of body. Leprosy is a disease which renders one's organs invalid. Madness is mental disorder. All these are very dangerous diseases. Nabi sallallahu alaihe wasallam has sought Allah's Protection against these and other diseases like paralysis, diabetes, facial paralysis, cancer, blindness, etc.

May Allah subhanahu wata’ala save us from all such diseases. Ameen
