Medicine, Dhikr, Recovery And Their Relationship With Shirk
I understand your confusion. The issue here is the concept of tawakkul (trust) and tawajjuh (direction). When reciting Ayatul Kursi or performing adhkar, your intention should be: 1. Tawakkul in Allah: Trusting that Allah is the sole Protector and Guardian. 2. Tawajjuh to Allah: Directing your intention and attention towards Allah alone. Regarding medicine, your intention should be: 1. Using medicine as a means: Recognizing that medicine is a means to recovery, but the actual healing comes from Allah. Similarly, when performing adhkar, your intention should be: 1. Seeking Allah’s protection and guidance: Understanding that the adhkar is a means to seek Allah’s protection and guidance, not a means in itself. Remember, the key is to maintain a correct intention and understanding, and to always direct your trust and attention towards Allah alone.
