Islam encourages believers to turn to Allah in times of illness. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught several authentic supplications seeking healing, mercy, and well-being.

The Main Supplication for Healing

The Prophet (PBUH) used to say:

"O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the suffering and heal, for You are the Healer. There is no healing except Your healing, a healing that leaves behind no illness."

This is one of the most authentic and widely recommended prayers for recovery.

Supplication for Physical Pain

When feeling pain in any part of the body, the Prophet instructed believers to place their hand on the painful area and say:

• "In the Name of Allah" three times.

Then repeat seven times:

"I seek refuge in Allah and in His Power from the evil of what I feel and fear."

Prayer When Visiting the Sick

When visiting a sick person, Muslims are encouraged to say seven times:

"I ask Allah, the Mighty, Lord of the Mighty Throne, to cure you."

Reciting the Three Quls

The Prophet (PBUH) also recited:

• Surah Al-Ikhlas
• Surah Al-Falaq
• Surah An-Nas

He would then blow lightly into his hands and wipe over his body as part of his spiritual healing practice.
