Bism Allah Alrahman Alrahem


Supplications in Islam: when one feels sick


by Imam Ali Bin Al-Hussein (Al-Sajad) (Peace be upon Him)

O God, to Thee belongs praise
for the good health of my body
which lets me move about,
and to Thee belongs praise,
for the ailments which Thou causest to arise in my flesh!

For I know not, my God,
which of the two states deserves more my thanking Thee
and which of the two times is more worthy for my praise of Thee:
the time of health, within which Thou makest me delight in the agreeable things of Thy provision, through which Thou givest me the joy to seek the means to Thy good pleasure and bounty,
and by which Thou strengthenest me for the acts of obedience
which Thou hast given me success to accomplish;

or the time of illness through which Thou puttest me to the test and bestowest upon me favors: lightening of the offenses that weigh down my back,
purification of the evil deeds into which I have plunged, incitement to reach for repentance, reminder of the erasure of misdeeds through ancient favor;
and, through all that, what the two writers write for me:
blameless acts, which no heart had thought, no tongue had uttered, and no limb had undertaken, rather, as Thy bestowal of bounty upon meand the beneficence of Thy benefaction toward me

O God,bless Muhammad and his Household,
make me love what Thou hast approved for me,
make easy for me what Thou hast sent down upon me,
purify me of the defilement of what I have sent ahead,
erase the evil of what I have done beforehand,
let me find the sweetness of well-being,
let me taste the coolness of safety,
and appoint for me a way out from my illness to Thy pardon,
transformation of my infirmity into Thy forbearance,
escape from my distress to Thy refreshment, and safety from this hardship in Thy relief!
Thou art gratuitously bountiful in beneficence,
ever gracious in kindness,
the Generous, the Giver,
Possessor of majesty and munificence
