After receiving several emails from people asking me about the root cause

of diseases, I decided to write this article, which is a chapter of my series

Quran and health e-books.

Im providing it for free to help you understand the real causes of diseases

and how to choose between the available treatment options.

This e-book will completely change the way you think about the causes of

disease. Its totally different from what I learned in medical school and its

different from what you usually hear from medical doctors.

The information you will learn in this e-book is priceless. If you really want

to take control of your health, you should read this to the end.

Ive also included a few tips for healthy people to maintain their health.

What is the real cause of diseases, according to the Quran?

When it comes to the causes of diseases, we learned in medical school to

blame bacteria, viruses, fungi, our genes, etc.

But the truth is, you are the only one who is completely responsible for your

health and sickness.

Continue reading and you will understand what I mean.

What do most Muslims believe about the causes of disease?

They think that diseases are beyond their control and that they have no

ability to change the situation, as if its their destiny.

Muslims are used to saying, Alhamdulillah for everything thats the will of

Allah and I accept it.

But is that true? Is it the will of Almighty Allah to make you sick?

If not, where do sickness and disease come from?

Is it possible that all diseases including genetic diseases are manmade?

If all diseases are manmade, what about the bacterial, fungal, and viral

infections over which we have no control?

Lets see what Almighty Allah said in the Quran about the cause of diseases

and then answer the following questions.

The causes of diseases, according to the Quran

Almighty Allah said: Whatever good befalls you is from Allah, and

whatever ill befalls you is from yourself (4:79)

Whatever misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have

earned; and yet He pardons much (42:30)

When the Prophet Abraham peace be upon him was praising Almighty

Allah, he said: He who created me, and guides me * He who feeds me, and

waters me *And when I get sick, He heals me * He who makes me die, and

then revives me (26: 78-82)

Did you notice that the Prophet Abraham peace be upon him said created

me, guides me, feeds me, waters me, makes me die, revives me but when

he mentioned sickness, he didnt say makes me sick? Instead, he said

And when I get sick he heals me.

Almighty Allah also mentioned the story of Prophet Job, who was sick for

many years: And mention our servant Job, when he called out to his Lord,

Satan has afflicted me with hardship and pain (38:41)

The Prophet Job peace be upon him didnt say, O Allah that is your will or

O Allah heal me from the disease with which you have afflicted me.

These verses from the Quran are clear indications that diseases are not

from Almighty Allah. They are a result of your deeds and stem from a

violation of the health guidelines in the Quran and Hadith.

The bottom line is: You are the only one who is in charge of your health

and your sickness.

You might be wondering What about hereditary diseases?

Now you know that diseases are a consequence of what you have earned

and a violation of the health guidelines in the Quran and Hadith.

Thus, the concept of hereditary diseases is like blaming other people for

your own mistakes (with the exception of newborns and children, which I

will explain later).

If you were born healthy and got sick later, in your twenties or thirties, you

must realize that you have been doing something wrong something that

led to the deterioration of your health.

Its not the fault of your genes. Its your fault; you are the only one

responsible for getting sick.

Here is another reason why hereditary diseases dont make sense.

We know that justice is one of Almighty Allahs names; therefore, he will

never punish you for the mistakes of others.

Almighty Allah said in the Quran: That no bearer of a burden (sin) will

carry the burden of another * And that the human being attains only what

he strives for * And that his efforts will be witnessed * Then he will be

rewarded for it the fullest reward (Quran 53: 38-41)

In the Quran, Almighty Allah also mentioned a group of ancient people and

said: That was a nation who has passed away. They shall receive the

reward of what they earned, and you of what you earn. And you will not be

asked of what they used to do (Quran 2:141)

You will get only what you earned and deserve. If you are following a

lifestyle that improves your health, surely Almighty Allah will reward you

with good health. The reverse applies if you are following a lifestyle that

worsens your health.

The good news is that most of your body cells take anywhere from a few

days to three or six months to completely rejuvenate and replace

themselves with new cells. This means you will have an almost-brand-new

body every six months.

If you start following a healthy lifestyle today, you will see amazing results

after six months but if you continue the same lifestyle that created your

health condition, you will have the same weak cells, the same symptoms,

and the same disease.

Children and hereditary diseases

Newborns and children have no control over their diet and lifestyle. They

rely completely on their mothers.

Therefore, to have a healthy child with a good immune system, mothers

should take care of their lifestyles and diets before getting pregnant, during

pregnancy, and while breastfeeding.

Mothers should learn about the best health tips and healthy lifestyles.

In today's world, a lot of misleading information has spread, so before

making any decision concerning your health or your childs health, you

must do your own research.

The bottom line is to follow the best health tips that are natural

and seem logical.

Is it possible that genetic diseases are manmade?

You might be surprised but the answer is YES.

When I was doing my research into the causes of disease, genetic diseases

werent even on my mind. However, I inadvertently came across various

studies that prove genetic diseases are manmade.

Mutagens are physical or chemical substance that change the DNA or

sometimes RNA of our cells and therefore lead to genetic diseases.

Exposure to radiation (x-rays, C.T. scans, cell phones, laptops, and

microwaves) and various chemical substances on a daily basis leads to DNA

damage.

Here is a study about The effects of low-dose gamma radiation with respect

to DNA damage, chromosomal aberration, and the expression of repair

genes in human blood cells

This is another study about the chemical substance which affects our

genes.

More scientific studies and details can be found in my series of Quran and

health e-books.

Almighty Allah said: He who perfected everything He created, and

originated the creation of man from clay (Quran 32:7)

The One Who created, then made (the creation) perfect (Quran 87:2)

All blessings belong to God, the best Creator (Quran 23:14)

It is He Who has created the skies in seven layers. You see no disharmony

in the creation of the All-Merciful. So look again. Do you see any flaw?

(Quran 67:3)

Verily, we created human in the best stature (Quran 95: 4)

The creation of Almighty Allah is always perfect. Imperfections take place

when we change the Creator's creation, either intentionally or

unintentionally.

What is the result of having the same lifestyle as a family

member?

By Dr. Hana Yussuf

In my opinion, hereditary diseases are the result of family members

following the same unhealthy lifestyle especially following the same

unhealthy diet.

Just think about this for a moment. If most modern chronic diseases have

hereditary causes, then:

Why did our grandparents experience fewer diseases in their lifetimes?

Why is the health of our children worse than the health of our elderly?

Why do some children have hereditary diseases that don't exist in their

family history?

Why do we have more disabled and sick children today than ever before in

history?

Our grandparents health was MUCH better than our childrens health is

today. In the past, there were VERY few cases of diabetes, hypertension,

high cholesterol, autoimmune diseases, or cancer as compared to today.

These diseases were known to affect adults and the elderly but today we see

children who have these diseases and who have no family history of them

whatsoever. We even see new diseases like autism and ADHD (Attention

Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).

Here is a study, published in the American Diabetes Association Journal

that highlights The Rise of Childhood Type 1 Diabetes in the 20th Century

What about the bacterial, fungal, and viral infections over which

we dont have control?

These pathogens are easy to pick up when your immune system is weak.

You must make your immune system strong enough to protect yourself

from these infections.

We must change the famous statement Muslims around the world say when

they get sick: Thats the will of Allah and I accept it so that it becomes

None has the right to be worshipped but you oh Allah, glorified are you

and truly I have been one of the wrongdoers! (Quran 21:87), as the

prophet Jonah called out to Almighty Allah when he was in the belly of the

whale.

Thats the most appropriate thing to say during a time of affliction that is

the result of your own deeds. Almighty Allah said in the next verse: So We

answered him, and saved him from the affliction. Thus we save the

faithful.

The Heart

If you look for the word "disease" in the Quran, you will notice that it

always refers to the heart.

In the Quran, the heart is the only thing Almighty Allah associates with

illness and disease.

Here are some verses from the Quran that associate the heart with disease.

In their hearts there is disease, so Allah has increased their disease and

they shall have a painful punishment because they lied (2:10)

O wives of the Prophet! You are not like any of the other women, provided

that you keep from disobedience to God in reverence for Him and piety. So

do not be complaisant in your speech, lest he in whose heart is a

disease should be moved to desire, but speak in an honorable way (33:32)

And we have appointed none but the angels to be wardens of the Fire, and

we have not made their number to be anything but a trial for those who

disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be convinced and

those who believe may increase in Faith, And those who have been given

the book and the believers may not fall into suspicion. And that those in

whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers may say: What does

Allah mean by this matter? (Quran 74:31)

Our prophet Mohammed peace be upon him said, "There lies within the

body a piece of flesh. If it is righteous, the whole body will be righteous; and

if it is corrupted, the whole body will be corrupted. Verily this piece is the

heart."

The beauty of the Quran and Hadith is that they address the issue and then

give us a straightforward solution that is easy to apply.

Since the heart is a big topic in the Quran, Ive included more details about

it in the eighth e-book of the Quran and health e-books series.

Every illness has a cure

Whatever disease you have, there is a cure for it; dont listen to any doctor

who says your disease is incurable. They teach us in medical school that

chronic diseases have no cure and that the treatments are only

symptomatic.

How could that be possible if our Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him

said that every illness has a cure?

I need you to take the first step toward your optimum health, which is

recognizing your mistakes, reversing the conditions that created your

current health condition, and making a commitment to do whatever it takes

to restore your health.

Ask yourself what you have been doing wrong over the past few years that

created your symptoms or disease. If you cant figure out the root cause of

15
July 15,

By Dr. Hana Yussuf

your health condition or if youve tried everything and nothing has worked,

Im here to help you.

My mission is to provide you with evidence-based natural healing methods

and techniques to show you how to take control of your health.

I followed many naturopathic and medical doctors around the world who

developed incredible protocols to treat diseases naturally but something

was always missing.

Some of them focused on one aspect of health (mostly diet) while others

treated their patients holistically without eliminating the root cause of the

disease, so their patients were coming back after a few years with the same

problems. Most of them dont educate the patient about the root cause, the

best health tips, how to live a healthy lifestyle or how to prevent diseases in

the future.

I focus on eliminating the root cause of your disease, detoxifying your body,

and boosting your immune system, which will help your body heal itself

naturally. Most importantly I focus on patient education. I will enlighten

16
July 15,

you about all the root causes of diseases; provide you with the best healthy

lifestyle so that you can have a full control over your health.

I will also provide you with the best health tips that you and your family can

follow to prevent diseases and secure your health for a lifetime.

I believe this is the best health insurance you can ever get.

Lets restore your health now. Get a health and lifestyle consultation.

Tips for healthy people to maintain their health

DO NOT ignore acute symptoms; these symptoms are like warning signs

and you should never ignore them.

DO NOT suppress symptoms with pharmaceutical drugs. Learn how to

treat your symptoms naturally.

DO NOT rely on the traditional tests of modern medicine to diagnose the

early stage of your health condition.

17

By Dr. Hana Yussuf

Traditional tests in modern medicine (such as a CBC, a blood chemistry

profile, and urinalysis) are used, for most patients, to diagnose a disease. If

the results are normal, we tell the patients that they are healthy even if they

have severe symptoms and then we prescribe pharmaceutical drugs to shut

down the symptoms.

What these tests really say is that you dont have a diagnosable disease

YET. You cant rely on these tests to diagnose the early stages of any

disease.

In fact, the acute symptoms are more than enough for you to realize that

your health is deteriorating. They should be considered as signs for an early

stage of a disease.

The biggest mistake people make when dealing with their health

conditions and how you can avoid it

18

THE REAL CAUSES OF DISEASES ACCORDING TO QURAN.
2017

By Dr. Hana Yussuf

The key to optimum health is in your hands; dont search for it in the wrong

places. Symptoms are just the consequences and the root cause is your

lifestyle.

Here is an example of how most people deal with their health conditions.

A man loses his key in a dark room with no electricity. He looks at the

window and realizes that there is a light outside the room. He decides to

search for the key outside, where there is light. That way, he will find the

key faster! Surely he will never find the key outside his room, right?

The key is his health, the dark room is his awareness and consciousness,

and the electricity is the best health tips from reliable resources.

If he gets the electricity, he will get the light and hence find the lost key

EASILY.

You can search for reliable resources to increase your awareness and get the

best solutions for your health condition. Or you can do what everybody else

is doing and search for solutions in the wrong places.

By Dr. Hana Yussuf

You might be wondering, How can I find the best health tips

from reliable resources?

Here is the golden rule. If your doctor is not taking the time to address the

root cause of your health condition and if she/he prescribes a lifetime of

medications instead of giving you a clear solution based on a holistic

approach (mind, soul, spirit, and body) to restore your health, you will need

to immediately seek a second opinion.

Always do your own research. Talk to naturopathic doctors and holistic

healers before making any decision concerning your health.

Are naturopathic doctors, holistic healers, herbalists, and

chiropractors really quacks?

This topic needs an article of its own. There are endless mutual accusations

between medical doctors and alternative medicine practitioners.

20
July 15,

2017

By Dr. Hana Yussuf

My conclusion, as a medical doctor who spent five years comparing modern

and alternative medicine, is that those who set up the medical system are

the real quacks.

They are using the media to spread their propaganda and call the real

healers who are trying to save peoples lives "quacks."

Im not against the whole medical system. I believe that emergency doctors

and surgeons are doing a great job.

But the statistics show that modern medicine has failed miserably when it

comes to chronic diseases. There is no cure for chronic diseases in modern

medicine AT ALL.

Whereas alternative medicine remedies support your body in its process of

natural healing.

If alternative medicine is not effective, why the British royal family uses

homeopathy?

I ask all medical doctors to take the time and read about the guidelines

natural healers are following before calling these incredible healers quacks.

Follow your innate feeling

We all have an innate feeling that tells us whether we made the right

decision. If you feel completely comfortable with your choice after doing

your own research and consulting with alternative medicine practitioners,

go for it. But if you still confused or lost between two choices, you need to

pray Istikhara.

Consult with your creator through Istikhara prayer

This powerful prayer seeks Allahs guidance in making the right decision

and the best choice when you are not sure exactly which way to go, such as

in choosing the right treatment, deciding on a surgery, accepting a job,

getting married, choosing a house, moving to another country or any other

situation in which you cant decide between two choices.

You are literally asking Almighty Allah for a consultation to choose the best

option for you.

22

How to pray Istikhara?

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah said:

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to teach us the way of

doing Istikhara, in all matters as he taught us the chapters of the Quran. He

said, "If anyone is thinking to do any job he should pray two Rakat other

than the compulsory ones and say (after the prayer):

"O Allah! I seek guidance from Your Knowledge and with your Power (and

Might) I seek strength and I ask for Your Great Blessings, because you have

the Power and I do not have the power. You know everything and I do not

know, and you have knowledge of the unseen.

Oh Allah! If in Your Knowledge this action (name it) is better for my

religion, for my life and the hereafter then make it destined for me and

make it easy for me and then add blessings [baraka'] in it, for me.

O Allah! In Your Knowledge if this action (name it again) is bad for me,

bad for my religion, for my life and the hereafter then keep it away from me

23
July 15,
THE REAL CAUSES OF DISEASES ACCORDING TO QURAN.
2017

By Dr. Hana Yussuf

and keep me away from it and whatever is better for me, destine that for me

and then make me satisfied with it."

Here is a quick three-minute video about the conditions of Istikhara prayer

and what signs you may see after praying Istikhara.

Take your time and do not rush to decide about a treatment

Medical doctors may say you dont have much time, that you must accept

their treatments or otherwise you will die within a few months or years, as

they always say to cancer patients.

This is your health, your body, and your choice. Dont let medical bullying

and fear influence your decision.

Ironically, studies show that those who refused chemotherapy lived longer

than those who underwent chemotherapy and radiation.

Worse than that, there is not a single cancer patient who has ever been

cured by chemotherapy. Not a single documented case in the history of

Western medicine.

So take your time to make your decision.

Your health is your wealth

Its strange how people conduct research for weeks or even months before

choosing which house or car to buy but dont put in half that effort when it

comes to their health.

Your health is your wealth. Do intensive research into possible natural

alternatives before you follow any treatment based on pharmaceutical

drugs only.

The bottom line is that you are the one who created your health condition

and you are the only one who can reverse it by learning more about the root

cause of your health condition and correcting your lifestyle.

I graduated from Bukovinian State Medical University on May 2012 and

since then I have been a researcher in Quran science and natural holistic

medicine that considers the person as a whole (body, mind, soul, and

spirit).

It all started with this sentence: All the sciences which are discovered and

approved scientifically in the present time are mentioned in the Holy

Quran 1400 years ago.

27

I used to hear that sentence from many Muslim scientists, but I was

doubtful because I thought that reading The Qur'an was just a way to praise

and worship Almighty Allah (as the majority of Muslims believe).

I decided to put it to the test and to see what the Qur'an says about health.

After a few years of reading and researching, I was amazed by the amount

of health information and tips I found in the Qur'an. Some had been

discovered, and some had not.

The Quran gives us a set of general rules in preventive medicine and the

solutions for our physical, mental, psychological, and spiritual health

issues.
