Zad al-maad

Spiritual Remedies

In addition to ethical guidance, “Zad al-Maad” presents a plethora of spiritual remedies designed to address various afflictions. These remedies are not limited to physical ailments but expand to encompass emotional and spiritual distress. The text provides readers insights into the significance of supplication (dua) and the recitation of specific Quranic verses. Ibn al-Qayyim illustrates how engagement with divine texts can serve as a cathartic mechanism for alleviating suffering, thereby reinforcing the Shia understanding of the transformative power of prayer and spiritual practices.
