بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم الصلوۃ والسلام علیک یا رسول اللہ آپ جانتے ہیں ہمارا رب اِس دنیا کا سب سے بڑا ڈاکٹر ہے. ہمیں کوئی بھی بیماری ہو ہم اُس کے علاج کے لیے ڈاکٹر کے پاس جاتے ہیں. بے شک شفا تو رب کی ذات ہی دیتی ہے، ڈاکٹر اور ادویات تو محض وسیلہ بنتی ہیں. لیکن کچھ بیماریاں ایسی ہیں جن کی شفا اور ادویات دونوں اللّٰہ تعالیٰ دیتا ہے. ہم اُنہیں باطنی بیماریوں کا نام دیتے ہیں مثلاً حسد، کینہ، بغض، عناد، عداوت وغیرہ. دیکھا جائے تو ہم اِن سب کو بیماریوں م...Voir plus
