Quran Verses for Healing — Shifa of Body and Soul

AI Quick Answer

"Which Quran verses are for healing?"

Allah describes the Quran itself as healing: 'We send down of the Quran that which is healing and mercy for the believers' (17:82). Specific healing verses: Surah Al-Fatiha (called 'Al-Shifa' by the Prophet ﷺ), Ayatul Kursi (2:255) for protection, the Mu'awwidhat (Surahs 112-114) for physical healing. The Prophet ﷺ used to blow on his hands and wipe his body with Surahs 112, 113, 114 before sleeping.

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Wa nunazzilu minal-qur'ani ma huwa shifa'un wa rahmatun lil-mu'minin

We send down of the Quran that which is healing and mercy for the believers — Quran 17:82

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ

Wa idha maridtu fa huwa yashfin

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me — Quran 26:80 (Dua of Ibrahim ﷺ)

How to Use the Quran for Healing

  1. Recite Surah Al-Fatiha 7 times over water, then drink it — authenticated prophetic practice (Sahih al-Bukhari)
  2. Recite Ayatul Kursi before sleep for comprehensive protection
  3. Blow on the palms and wipe the body with Surahs 112, 113, 114 — the Prophet's ﷺ bedtime practice
  4. Recite the healing dua: "Allahumma Rabban-nas, adhibil-ba'sa, ashfi anta ash-shafi" — 3 or 7 times over the place of pain
  5. Increase Quran recitation during illness — the Quran is shifa for whatever you face
