Golden Passages from the Book

Keep company with the God whose healing surpasses every remedy
“Heal yourself through a healing that goes beyond treatment … Keep company with the God who is closer to you and more readily at hand than any medicine or remedy. The truth of healing lies not in matter or chemical compounds, but in the soul’s connection to the Source of life and boundless divine grace. When God’s will is set on lifting a trial, outward causes bow before it.” (p. 33)

The Brain: The Black Box of Being and the Human Being’s Celestial Information System
“The brain is the black box of human existence: a person’s character, physical form, thoughts and desires are recorded in this system. More than a hundred billion nerve fibres are constantly active. Pure divine knowledge gives this structure its form, and through contemplation and remembrance, a person illuminates the neural fabric of this repository of mysteries with the light of truth.” (p. 37)

The Lightning Bolts of Remembrance and the Manifestation of Electrical Waves in the Brain
“Messages travel through the human nervous system as electrical impulses, moving at lightning speed. More than 75 percent of the brain is water. When remembrance and awareness of God surge through the soul, luminous bolts of supplication flash through the grey cells, cleansing and harmonising every circuit and perceptual frequency.” (p. 43)

The Mystery of the Nāṣiyah and the Brain’s Alarming Loss of Energy Through Lying
“The front part of the brain, at the forehead, is called the nāṣiyah in Quranic language. It is the centre of decision-making and truthfulness. The brain was not made for dishonesty: when a person lies, enormous energy is wasted in the nāṣiyah, placing crushing pressure on the neural network. Truthfulness and humility, by contrast, awaken the brain’s serenity and its celestial capacity to process information.” (p. 44)

A Storm of Prayer in the Brain and the Vibration of Healing Waves Throughout the Universe
“Through prayer and connection to the Source of Power, a divine hue appears in the human brain. Prayer stirs a mighty storm in the elements, limbs and brain cells, setting the frequencies of healing and light in motion throughout the whole being. A person devoted to supplication transforms not only their own soul, but the very space of the universe with these waves.” (p. 46)

Beautiful Thought: A Spiritual Pharmacy and the Keymaker for Human Needs
“Beautiful thought is a spiritual pharmacy, a workshop that fashions keys to unlock all kinds of difficulties. A divine pharmacy and healing centre are built into the human being, and their healing materials are noble character and pure intentions. When thought flourishes along the path of servitude to God, it sets in motion a revolution that frees body and soul from pain.” (p. 64)

Sleep: A Sanctuary of Worship and the Harmonising of Brain Waves
“Make sleep a field of devotion and a sanctuary of worship. In sleep, the brain cleanses, organises and refines the day’s information. When a person’s sleep is imbued with purity, repentance and prayer, the neural circuits are restored in celestial serenity, preparing the person to receive heavenly inspiration.” (p. 43)

Prayer: The Greatest Weapon, a Force Beyond Divine Decree, and a Comprehensive Remedy
“God has given prayer a power that can change even an irrevocable decree and destiny. Prayer is a remedy for every illness and a means of meeting every need: a weapon sharper and more penetrating than any earthly blade. When a servant, with certainty and uplifted hands, presents their needs at the Lord’s healing practice, the gates of mercy open and seemingly unbreakable knots are undone.” (p. 142)
