Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Termite and Quran

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 none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 10 Surah Yunus verse 57:

57 O mankind! There hath come to you a Direction from your Lord (The Quran) and a healing for the (diseases) in your hearts; and for those who believe, a Guidance and a Mercy.

The Glorious Quran was revealed by Allah Subhanah primarily to Guide mankind to the Straight Path, to be understood and implemented in their whole lives by those who fear Allah, to give glad tidings to the believers, to warn the disbelievers, and as a tool to remember and be conscious of the Majestic and Supreme Lord in every aspect of one’s life.

The Lord Most Gracious has Himself revealed the wisdom behind the Revelation of the Quran in these Glorious Verses:

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 44 Surah Dukhan verse 58:

We have made this Book easy in your own tongue so that they may ponder and take good counsel.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 16 Surah Nahl verse 89:

We have sent down to you this Book, which makes everything plain, and is a guidance, blessing and good news to those who have surrendered themselves entirely.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 14 Surah Ibrahim verses 1-2:

This is a Book which We have sent down to you (O Prophet) that you may bring mankind, by the help of their Lord, out of the dark ways (of ignorance) into the Light (of knowledge), to the Way of that Lord, Who is All Powerful, and inherently All Praiseworthy, and the Owner of whatever is in the heavens and the earth.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 21 Surah Anbiya verse 10:

We have sent down to you a Book, which deals with matters concerning yourselves. What? Do you not understand this?

Brother the Noble Quran is a guidance to mankind to save us from the dreadful fire of hell and guide us to Jannah InshaAllah.

Now to answer your specific question:

When one has a physical disease, one should seek the best available ‘asbaab’ or tools like technology, medicine, science, etc. and seek a cure to that disease; and remain constant in their supplication, trust and belief in the Power and Strength of Allah Subhanah.

Like wise to solve the problem of termites in your premises, in our humble opinion, the best thing you can do is to call an expert in pest control solutions and Insha Allah, we are sure they will find a way to assist you.

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