Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

married woman.  I was raised muslim from childhood. My mother is a widow of 12 years who is very ill. She vomits violently when Quran is recited over her i.e. those of Juz Amma and Ayatul Kursi. What can you recommend to do for her under these circumstances? My sister believes the vomiting has to do with purification. What else do you recommend. My mother (65 years old) is currently in the hospital receiving medical care with family members at her bedside.

Answer:

 

Vomiting at recitation of quran

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 185:

Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was sent down: this Book is a Perfect Guidance for mankind and consists of clear Teachings which show the Right Way, and are a Criterion of the Truth and falsehood.

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 16 Surah Nahl verse 89:

We have sent down to you this Book, which makes everything plain,  and is a guidance,  blessing and good news to those who have surrendered themselves entirely.

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 18 Surah Kahf verse 1-3:

All praise is for Allah Alone,  Who has sent down this Book to His Servant (Mohamed (saws),  and assigned nothing crooked to it.   This Book says everything directly,  so that he may warn the people of the severe chastisement of Allah and give good news to the believers,  who do righteous deeds,  that they will have an excellent reward.

 

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 14 Surah Ibrahim verses 1-2:

This is a Book which We have sent down to you (O Prophet) that you may bring mankind,  by the help of their Lord,  out of the dark ways (of ignorance) into the Light (of knowledge),  to the Way of that Lord,  Who is All Powerful,  and inherently All Praiseworthy,  and the Owner of whatever is in the heavens and the earth.

 

Respected Sister in Islam, we absolutely assure you that the alteration in the medical condition of your mother is absolutely unrelated to the recitation of the Glorious Quran!  Allah Subhanah has revealed the Glorious Quran as a mercy and guidance for all mankind and we absolutely assure you that the hearing of its recitation does not induce vomit from the believers or the disbelieves alike, and absolutely regardless of whether one who hears it is spiritually or physically pure or impure!

 

The alteration in the medical condition of your mother at the recitation of the Verses of the Glorious Quran can be nothing more than a mere co-incidence.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
