What do you think of the book "Minat al-Rahman fi Ba'd Asrar al-Qur'an" by Omar Nadim Qablan, which is available online?

The Quran is a healing and a mercy for the believers, and its healing encompasses ailments of the heart and body. The book "Minat al-Rahman fi ba'd Asrar al-Qur'an" relies on the author's personal experiences in seeking healing through the Quran. This approach is questionable, as it designates specific verses for each illness and generalizes this to people as if it were a law.

The claim of the permissibility of ruqyah through experimentation, even if some scholars have adopted it, is not permissible or justifiable in Islamic law for the following reasons:

1. The hadith of Jabir, "Whoever among you can benefit his brother, let him do so," does not indicate the permissibility of experimentation, but rather benefit through legitimate means. 2. Claiming permissibility based on experimentation is an addition to the Lawgiver's rulings (Shari'a) and an innovation (bid'ah). It also leads to attributing merits to chapters of the Quran for which there is no legal basis. 3. It leads to abandoning permissible actions and relying on impermissible ones, and it may push people towards sorcerers and charlatans. 4. It casts doubt on the legitimate texts regarding ruqyah, and may attach people's hearts to experimental methods rather than the prescribed ones. 5. It is a pretext for innovations and polytheism (shirk), such as seeking intercession through graves under the guise of experimentation. 6. It leads to attributing to the Shari'a methods of healing whose meanings are incomprehensible. 7. The fulfillment of a need for a scholar through specific verses does not make it a valid proof for condoning such practices; it might be due to the sincerity of their intention.

The chapter of ruqyah is a legitimate one that requires adherence and compliance; "And indeed, this is My straight path, so follow it, and do not follow [other] ways, for they will disperse you from His way." (Quran 6:153) Attributing the view of experimentation to some scholars indicates that perfection belongs to Allah and His law, and everyone's sayings can be accepted or rejected except for the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
