1. How prayer accelerates the healing of the sick

In the Quran, the word “prayer” means to call out, or to seek help.

When we are sick, we become dependent and begin to call on Allah , and asking Him to help us feel better.

In Surah Yunus, Allah (swt) says : “When harm touches man, he calls on Us, lying on his side or sitting down or standing up. Then when We remove the harm from him he carries on as if he had never called on Us when the harm first touched him. In that way We make what they have done appear good to the profligate

This ayah also shows us that it is Allah who cures us, not doctors or machines. The ayah also teaches us to always be grateful to Allah because He gave you health.

How prayer accelerates the healing of the sick

(continued)

Something else that is important to remember is in addition to praying, we must try our best to get the certain desire.

For example, if we are very sick, besides asking Allah to cure us, we must get the medicines we need, we must visit the doctor etc.

Once we try our best, we must be patient and wait for the decree of Allah for the timing of when we will regain our health.

How prayer accelerates the healing of the sick (continued)

According to research and statistics, :

Faith ad prayer help accelerate the sick, has a positive effect, and is recommended by doctors.

72% of Americans, according to a Newsweek survey, believe that praying can cure someone and

prayer helps recovery

People who don’t practice religion deaths are around 25% higher than people who pray and worship

regularly, according to Rush University in Chicago.

The death rate for heart patients who prayed had decreased 30% after a year of operations.

2. Female Honeybee

The Female honeybees do everything

They clean the hive

They gather the supplies (nectar, pollen, etc.)

Feed the queen bee and the male bees

Female Honeybee (continued)

In the quran it is mentiond that the female honeybee does everything

The prophet (S) couldn’t have known this

Female Honeybee (continued)

Your Lord revealed to the bees: "Build dwellings in the mountains and the trees, and also in the structures

which men erect. Then eat from every kind of fruit and travel the paths of your Lord, which have been made

easy for you to follow." From inside them comes a drink of varying colours, containing healing for

mankind. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who reflect. (Qur'an, 16:68-69)

3. Black Holes

Black Holes are formed when a star that has consumed all of its fuel collapses in on itself. It then turns into a black hole with infinite density and zero volume and an immensely powerful magnetic field.

We are unable to see black holes because their gravitational pull is so strong that light is unable to escape from them.

However, such a collapsed star can be perceived by means of the effect it has on the surrounding area. In Surat al-Waqi'a, Allah draws attention this matter in this way, by swearing upon the position of stars:

And I swear by the stars' positions-and that is a mighty oath if you only knew. (Qur'an, 56:75-76)

Black Holes (continued)

Light cannot escape from a black hole because it has such a high concentration of mass in a small space. The enormous gravitation captures even the fastest particles.

They nevertheless reveal themselves indirectly, by the tremendous suction which their gravitational force exerts on other heavenly bodies. As well as depictions of the Day of Judgment, the verse below may also be pointing to this scientific discovery about black holes:

When the stars are extinguished, (Qur'an, 77:8)

Black Holes (continued)

Stars of great mass also cause warps to be perceived in space.

Black holes, however, do not just cause warps in space but also tear holes in it. This fact may be referred to in the verse about stars, and this is another important item of information demonstrating that the Qur'an is the Word of Allah:

By Heaven and the Tariq (bright star)! And what will convey to you what the Tariq is? The Star Piercing [the darkness]!

(Qur'an, 86:1-3)
