Answer:

Dua to cure disease

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

First and foremost, we as believers, must try to understand and comprehend that Allah Subhanah did not reveal the Quran to teach or guide mankind towards the sciences and technical expertise in medicine, or astronomy, or agriculture, or chemistry, or architecture, etc. These are amongst the knowledge of the physical world which man has the capability and the ability to learn from his own experiences and experiments.

The Holy Quran was revealed by Allah Subhanah as a manual for the guidance of mankind, to invite and teach mankind how to live a life that would win the approval and Mercy of the Creator. It was revealed to invite mankind to come out of their spiritual darkness, and come to the spiritual light of living a life in submission to the Will of the One Lord and Creator of the Worlds.

Allah says in Chapter 2, Surah Baqarah aayat 185

"Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was sent down: this Book is a Perfect Guidance for mankind and consists of clear Teachings which show the Right Way, and are a Criterion of the Truth and falsehood."

Your Statement: i have visited a doctor who gave me a medicine but i want to rely on Allah`s Kalam. i have perfect yaqeen on Allah and i believe only Quranic Ayat can help me please help me out in this matter and suggest me the right Dua so that i can recite all the time and get cured. after all Ayaats are from Allah and we are also Allah`s makhlooq. i m 100% sure there must be Ayat which can cure any desease.

My beloved brother in Islam, it would be best to accept the advice and medicine of the medical doctors, who are the best qualified people to apply their knowledge for this physical condition, and then put your full trust in Allah Subhanah.

One of the best supplications to make when one is visited by a trial from Allah Subhanah in the form of a physical disease is the dua made by the Prophet Ayyub (a.s.) to Allah Subhanah during his long illness, as related by Allah Subhanah in the Glorious Quran.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 21 Surah Anbiyaa verses 83-84:

83 And (remember) Ayyub when he cried to his Lord "Truly distress has seized me, but Thou art the Most Merciful of those that are merciful."

84 So We listened to him: We removed the distress that was on him, and We restored his people to him and doubled their number as a Grace from Ourselves and a thing for commemoration for all who serve Us.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 7.571 Narrated by Ibn Masud

I visited the Prophet (saws) while he was having a high fever. I touched him and said, "You have a very high fever". He (saws) said, "Yes, as much fever as two of you may have." I said, "You will have a double reward?" He (saws) said, "Yes. No Muslim is afflicted with hurt caused by disease or some other inconvenience, but that Allah will remove his sins as a tree sheds its leaves."

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
