The Details of the Question
- Some people believe in gods other than Allah but they recover from illnesses. What is the wisdom behind Allah’s giving cure to those people though they do not believe in Him?
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
The biological and psychological structure of man is not different in unbelievers and Muslims.
Placebo effect is a suggestion made to a person in order to convince him that a drug will be useful for him. The effect of the suggestion depends on the psychological mood of a person, not on his religion.
