at that time and you did not have illness befall you like that which

already has.

So by those means you will increase your thanks to All�h,

and love towards Him will increase within your heart. This is the

greatest benefit that ‘mankind’ can feel. A poet said: “A person
does not know the signs of health whilst ‘he’ has not fallen sick”.

8. Remember the condition of your brothers who are sick.

The activities of a person during ‘his’ life seeking wealth and
an existence that is safe and sound, free from illness and disability

can make ‘him’ thoughtless of the state of ‘his’ brothers who are

sick, and so ‘his’ heart thumps in order to fulfil their rights.

So within the wisdom of All�h is that He causes forms of
illness and affliction to fall upon a mu√min at specific times, in

order that ‘he’ remembers ‘his’ brothers who are sick, who, for that

time ‘he’ was in a state of health ‘he’ was neglectful of. Until by
those means ‘he’ feels a thumping to fulfil their rights, like visiting

them, helping them when necessary, lightening the calamities that

befall them, consoling and comforting them, helping them to find a
way to cure them, making dufi�√ for them in order for immediate

health and others.

9. Cleansing the heart from various numbers of illness.
