Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, ask as Dua from Allah,

“Allāhumma innī as’aluka l-‘afwa wa-l-‘āfiyata wa-l-mu‘āfāta d-dā’imah”, “O Allāh, I ask You for forgiveness, well-being, and perpetual healthiness.” Ask for this from Allah ﷻ. These are the most important things for Muslims to ask for forgiveness from Allah ﷻ so that He ﷻ forgives.

This is the first important thing for Muslims. Allah ﷻ is forgiving. If you repent to Him ﷻ and ask forgiveness, He ﷻ will forgive everything you did. That Door is open. The Door of Repentance is open. It is open for forgiving you. All Dua made to Him ﷻ and your repentance will not be rejected insha’Allah.

However, shaytan doesn’t let mankind do these things which are not even difficult. Things like this are important things. Even though it seems like a small Dua, but this is a Dua that will save people. It has great importance. The words of our Holy Prophet ﷺ are the light, Iman and benefit for us from all aspects.

Secondly, health is important. It is good for Muslims to be healthy. They must pay attention to their health, to what they eat and drink. That is also important. Because if your body is sick, your worship is hindered, and your livelihood is hindered. Your body given to you as a trust by Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is harmed.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everyone in a good condition. He ﷻ has ordered everyone to look after their health. Therefore, looking after your health is not a bad thing. When you say “I’ve become Darwish, or I’ve become Muslim”, you must look after your body. It is an order to look at what you eat and drink. Most of what people of the end of times give you to eat and drink is not good things. They are things that bring harm to your body. You must pay attention to that so that your body manages you until Akhirah without a need for anyone. And then [in Dua], may there be “mu‘āfāta d-dā’imah” perpetual healthiness insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ help us all.

As we said, as it is the end of times, these days we pay attention to what we eat and drink. But they say they add something to our food, to vegetables. Apart from that, there are unnatural abnormal drinks. If you want to drink them, drink a little. Some people consume too much of them by liters. That is not water but complete sugar. And there is an amount of sugar the body can handle and an amount of sugar the body cannot handle. Too much of everything is harmful. Even if it is a beneficial thing, too much of it is harmful. We must pay attention to that. May Allah ﷻ give good health to all of us. May He ﷻ net let us be in need of anyone. May we not need doctors and physicians.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
