The Quranic verses and invocations are divine medicine and healing; their effects come to pass by God’s permission!
Just as not every seed grows in every kind of soil or climate, but needs the conditions suited to it, so too the verses and invocations require a fitting vessel. They are like divine software, seeking the right and worthy hardware through which to manifest their effects.
The hearts of true believers bring the verses and invocations to life, revealing their qualities and effects. The hearts of genuine believers are where the allusions, subtleties, and truths of the Quran and invocations reside. The healing honey of the Quran and invocations is drawn from the hive of pure believers’ hearts.
يونس : 57 يا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جاءَتْكُمْ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَ شِفاءٌ لِما فِي الصُّدُورِ وَ هُدىً وَ رَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنينَ
O humanity! An exhortation has come to you from your Lord, a healing for what is in the hearts, and guidance and mercy for the believers!
فصلت : 44 وَ لَوْ جَعَلْناهُ قُرْآناً أَعْجَمِيًّا لَقالُوا لَوْ لا فُصِّلَتْ آياتُهُ ءَ أَعْجَمِيٌّ وَ عَرَبِيٌّ قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذينَ آمَنُوا هُدىً وَ شِفاءٌ وَ الَّذينَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ في آذانِهِمْ وَقْرٌ وَ هُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَمًى أُولئِكَ يُنادَوْنَ مِنْ مَكانٍ بَعيدٍ
Had We made it a foreign-language Quran, they would surely have said, “Why are its verses not clear? A foreign-language Quran for an Arab prophet?” Say: “For those who believe, it is guidance and healing. But those who do not believe have heaviness in their ears, and it is as though they are blind to it. They are like people being called from far away!”
الإسراء : 82 وَ نُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ما هُوَ شِفاءٌ وَ رَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنينَ وَ لا يَزيدُ الظَّالِمينَ إِلاَّ خَساراً
We send down from the Quran that which is healing and mercy for the believers, while it increases the wrongdoers only in loss.
ُ يَا مَنِ اسْمُهُ دَوَاءٌ وَ ذِكْرُهُ شِفَاءٌ وَ طَاعَتُهُ غَنَاء
