Ihyaaud Deen An Effort to Revive Deen in Totality
In regard to the prophetic prescriptions mentioned in the Mubaarak Ahaadith, Hazrat Shaikh Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) once mentioned the following:
Through adopting the prophetic prescriptions (mentioned in the Hadith), one will definitely acquire shifaa. However, it should be borne in mind that it is necessary for one to adhere to the conditions in which these prophetic prescriptions have been prescribed e.g. the place and climate where one resides in being hot or cold, the temperament of the person, the manner in which the medication should be administered, etc. (Through adhering to these conditions, one will certainly acquire shifaa.)
It is reported that a certain narrator of Hadith had underwent cupping on his head with the intention of practising on the Sunnah. However, since he did not adhere to some of these conditions, (the treatment did not prove effective and beneficial, but rather) his memory deteriorated to the extent that despite being a haafiz of the Qur’aan, he had lost his memory and was even unable to recite Surah Faatihah.
