Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Ya Ali Madad! First of all, if we become sick, it is most advisable to seek medical attention immediately and take advantage of advances in medical science. Secondly, it is also advisable to seek spiritual and luminous help from NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam and make him our constant companion through Divine remembrance as explained in the following tawil:
Tawil of the word 'Jalis' (Companion)
"Hazrat Musa said: "O my Lord! Are you close so that I may whisper to you? Or are you remote so that I may call to You? He was told: "O Musa! I am the companion of the one who remembers Me." (al-Mu'jam, p. 257)"
[Source: Tawil 253: A Thousand Wisdoms, p.137]
Sickness can last for a long time, therefore, it is necessary to continue physical and spiritual treatments simultaneously. Our faith teaches us that our fate is in the hands of the Holy Imam. Therefore, whether the disease increases or decreases, one should be focused on the Holy Imam and his NOOR. In other words, let the remembrance of the Holy Imam and his light should become our constant source of mercy and strength.
It is extremely important to pray with an open heart and have full faith in Mowla. Here is an example of a supplication:
"O NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam! I have full faith in your pure light and you are the master of my destiny. Keep me humble, loyal and fill me with positive energy. Grant me patience, tolerance and strength as I go through this difficult phase of my life. I understand that this natural illness, according to a hadith of our Holy Prophet (s.a.s.) and a firman of Noor Mowlana Sultan Muhammad Shah (a.s.), is for the purification of my soul. I love you very much, and I prostrate and rely upon your light and beg for your mercy. Grant me the best in this world and in the next. Ameen."
Now this is how this works. The physical disease is just a catalyst to strengthen friendship with Mowla and his light. When we perform dhikr, Mowla becomes our best friend and constant companion. Fear vanishes when Mowla's light comes close to us or blossoms within us.
I have compiled the two most important surahs and the most important ayat from the Holy Qur'an and a sample of dhikr tasbis and hope that these resources will be useful to you.
