Desmawati and friends |
All of phenomena in the universe have the basis and purpose. Recently, there has been a recent resurgence in faith-based healing across the world. Study in Islamabad from 604 patients showed 99.7% believed that leading an Islamic way of life (abstaining from forbidden things e.g. fornication, lie, alcohol, eat dog/frog/pig, cigarettes, illicit drugs etc.) leads to a healthier life. The content about dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine are prohibited were showed in the Alqur’an (Al-Maidah:5, 3). 95% of the patients believed that praying five daily prayers (sholat) will keep them healthy. 98% believed that listening to the holy Qur’an would help in their healing. 98.8% believed in the intercessory role of prayers by others. 82% believed that giving charity (sadaqah) assists in healing. The best important findings were that 93% wanted to see their physicians/nurse pray for their health in front of them. 88% believed that having a physician or nurse, who is also a God-fearing person, will have a positive impact on their health. In view of the current social/cultural practices, 76% believed that wearing religious inscriptions also helps in healing. The nurse/physician was perceived as an essential factor in the overall effectiveness of healing and prevent complication (Ahmed, Choudry, Alam & Kaisar, 2007).
