What is Shifa in Islam and Importance of Dua for Shifa?

In Islam, “Shifa” (شِفَاء) means healing, cure, or recovery.

Shifa doesn’t just mean healing you from illness or bad things; it also heals you emotionally and makes you stronger.

In Islam, Shifa holds immense importance, and therefore, the concept of healing through dua has been highly valued in Islam for thousands of years.

Shifa helps protect a person from any kind of negative energy, and this verse is considered extremely powerful in the Quran because it has the power to strengthen a person both internally and externally and successfully eliminate any kind of evil energy, like a black magic spell.

“And when I am ill, it is He who cures me.”

(Surah Ash-Shu‘ara, 26:80)

In short, Shifa in Islam is not just about curing diseases but also about strengthening a person’s inner peace and spiritual strength, all with the blessings of Allah Tala, because true Shifa comes only from Allah ﷻ, the ultimate Healer (Ash-Shaafi).

Important Rules to Follow Before Starting the Shifa Dua

If you are going to recite the Dua for Shifa, you must follow specific rules beforehand.

If you begin reciting this dua after following these rules, rest assured that this dua will work for you, and Allah (SWT) will accept your supplication.

The power of a Dua does not lie only in the words but in the purity of intention and state of faith while reciting it.

So let’s find out what those rules are that you need to follow before reciting the dua.

1. If you have any negative thoughts in your mind, first purify them. Negative thoughts prevent any dua from being answered.
2. Before reciting the dua, find a quiet and peaceful place where no one will disturb you, and sit facing the Qibla direction. Avoid distractions such as your phone and any other devices.
3. Before beginning the prayer, always praise Allah Almighty, saying phrases like “Alhamdulillah” and “Subhanallah,” and then be sure to send blessings upon the beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
4. If you are a woman and you are going to recite this dua, please make sure that you do not recite this dua during your menstrual period.
5. While praying, always imagine that the mercy of Allah (SWT) is purifying your body, heart, and soul, and that any negative energy is being removed from within you.
6. While praying, also perform good deeds. For example, give to charity or feed a poor person. This will make Allah (SWT) accept your dua sooner.
7. During dua, control your tongue and your actions. Avoid gossip, anger, and anything else that takes you away from the mercy of Allah Tala.
