Healing properties and Duas through Surah Fatiha

  Muhyiddin Ibn al-`Arabi, (May God purify his heart!) said:

"If anyone is in need of something, let him read surah “al-Fatiha" forty times after evening prayer and two raka`ats of optional (Ratiba) prayer".

Note that, one should not get up without completing reading the surah "al-Fatiha" the required number of times. After reading the verses let him turn to the Almighty with his wishes - and there is no doubt that Allah will help! This is a proven method, and we found it to be useful. Then, after reading the surah "al-Fatiha" 40 times, the following prayer should be pronounced - Dua:
إلهِي عِلْمُكَ كَافٍ عن السُّؤَالِ اِكْفِنِي بحَقِّ الْفَاتِحَةِ سُؤلاً وَكَرَمُكَ كَافٍ عَنِ الْمَقَاِل أَكْرِمْنِي بِحَقَ الْفَاتِحَةِ مَقَالاً وَحَصِّل مَا فِي ضمِيري

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), said: "Surah al-Fatiha” is open for appealing to believers in Allah, with their wishes. Who reads “surah al-Fatiha” over clean water 70 times for 7 days, and then, after blowing on it, drinks it, God, by His mercy, bestows knowledge and wisdom, cleans his heart from pervasive thoughts, and grants him such an exceptional memory and ability to grasp everything on the fly, that he never forgets anything even if he heard it once." This is shown in book “Sirr al-Fatiha”.

One of the properties of this surah is that if a person suffering from eye disease, reads it 41 times between sunnah and obligatory morning prayers, then - by permission of Allah – he will be recovered from illness very soon. Today reading surah al-Fatiha in this manner is of great benefit in treating eye and other diseases, as this is tested and verified method, praise to Allah! The secret of success lies in the positive opinion of a patient (about the method) and his confidence.

He who reads this surah in the above order, wanting to get rid of toothache, then - by the grace of God –will be relieved of suffering.

Also, if anyone reads it in that order, while bidding farewell to his friend departing on a trip, then Allah will take his friend under His protection, and he will return home unharmed.

One of the righteous people, speaking about the special properties inherent in this surah, said: "He who reads Surah al-Fatiha seven times, putting his hand on the sore spot, and then recites seven times:
اللهمَّ أَذْهِبْ عنِّي سُوءَ ما أَجدُ وَفُحْشَهُ بدَعْوَةِ نَبيِّكَ مُحمدٍ صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم اَلْمُبَاركِ المكين الأَمِينِ عِنْد َكً then God will heal him." This method of relieving from pain has been tested and confirmed, as stated in the book "Fath al-Malik al-Majid."

Two reasons hindering fulfillment of wishes

Know, that sometimes people use these methods for treatment, but do not achieve their goals. This occurs for two reasons:

1) If a man who reads the surah is one who is disobedient to God; and does not deserve beneficial effects and its manifestations.

2) When someone reads it, doubting its power or just wants to test it in practice.

And if something happens from the deadly poisonous effects of the filth dirty souls capable of incurring death, and their eyes that inflict destruction, and when these are opposed by pure and noble souls with the true comprehension of the hidden meanings of the Surah, that contain oneness of God, sole hope and praise for Him, Glorious and Most High – he or she will be relieved from the effects of those devilish souls and, no doubt, will be healed. So says the book "Shams al-Ma'arif" ("Khazina al-Asrar" page 118).

Indeed, there are many advantages and special properties of “Surah al-Fatiha" and it is very difficult to describe all of them. We assume that the above said is sufficient. To learn more on this subject please consult the following books: "Fath al-Malik al-Majid", "Khazina al-Asrar", "Shams al-Ma'arif" and others. May Allah give us perfect faith and make us beneficial to others.
