Islamic Spiritual Healing and Help Forum (ISHAHF)
An interactive website for the real Islamic spiritual healing and problem solving
Firstly, seeking divine help in all matters is an integral part of every believer's dailylife. Everyday, we offer salat (namaz) and make Dua (suppications), which is the basic level. Supplications (dua) specific to the nature of problem transmitted through authentic traditions (Hadith) of Rasool Allah s.a.w are also part of this stage or level. Our spiritual experts / panelists also guide and prescribe best suited masnoon supplications with ijaza.
The second level includes three basic but very important Sunnahs which all Muslims must learn and practice ; and these are
(1) Istikhara (2) Salat-al-hajat (3) Ruqya or Damm.
We have added a page for each one of these three sunnahs. If you do not already know the method of performing these, you can go to the relevant page to learn. Insha Allah, learning and performing these as and when required will be great experience.
We hope, with Allah's grace this will help us achieve our objective of reviving these great Sunnahs of Rasool Allah s.a.w.
Thirdly, there may be questions / problems for which you would deem it necessary to approach someone more experienced in the subject than yourself. It is advisable that the afflicted person or a family member should do Istikhara for consulting a particular person before contacting him or her. Interestingly, it may not be always necessary to consult a practicing healer, sometimes any pious senior Muslim around you can be helpful. If you must consult someone then contact somebody belonging to an authentic spiritual order / tariqa / sufi silsila; an expert of Prophetic medicine (tib-e-nabwi) or a scholarly imam. Avoid people who use prefixes and suffixes like amil, amila, al-roohani, sahir, professor etc.
Remember, consulting a non-muslim physician is permissible but consulting a non-muslim (even people of the book) for spiritual help is strictly forbidden in Islam and can result in loss of eeman (naudu billah min zalik).

Methodology - How it works...
The methodology of true Islamic spiritual healing and problem solving in very simple.
For easy understanding it can be arranged in following stages and methods:
We sent down in the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe: to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss"
[Al Quran: Bani Israeel - Chapter 17 Verse 82]
(1)
(2) : (1) (2) (3)
(3)
الحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى آله وصحبه
THE CONTEXT IS THE SECRET
The secret lies in one basic thumb rule "to learn from those who have actually done it before you and then practice it ".
This implies that every generation learns from their practicing predecessors, who learnt from their practicing predecessors, who had learnt from their practicing predecessors and so on for past over fourteen centuries.
By understanding the above rule you can easily understand why most things available on the subject through most sources are ineffective. The reason is simple - it is text without the context. Consequent to this people start losing faith in the tradition.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We studied and analysed a host of online sources on the subject. Many have made the mamoth mistake of justifying Islamic spiritual tradition on the basis of science. Here at ISHAHF we do not do that. We do not justify or support anything spiritual on the basis of modern sciences, we rather support on the basis of Quran and Sunnah only. Perhaps modern sciences are not yet developed enough to explain any the spiritual phenomena. It is highly developed system of faith healing and no faith can be justified through science.
We also happened to see those online sources who go the extend of denying the very existence of many authentic ahadith on the subject. We don't intend any disrespect to anybody, but its ironic. Just to propogate and promote what someone thinks is right how can you deprive the Ummah of the invaluable heritage from Rasool Allah s.a.w, transmitted through the pious Companions r.a and tens of thousands of Imams and hundreds of millions of pious Muslims who lived in last fourteen centuries.
SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES
Many of us may be lucky to have had some spiritual experience in our life. Spiritual experiences are those that cannot be explained through intellectual reasoning. They are, one may say, the evidence or proof which satisfies a seeker about the spiritual laws that govern the Universe.
Spiritual experiences instill faith and motivate us to continue practicing it. This website may provide you with a better understanding of your earlier spiritual experiences and may open the door to new ones. Spirituality teaches us what practical steps we can take to gain spiritual experiences, but more than that, it teaches us how to bring about true change in ourselves and make those experiences a long-lasting or permanent state. The spiritual journey may be the most exciting and fulfilling journey we embark on in this life.
