Greetings and peace be with you Mustafa16;
The fear of the unknown, anxiety and depression are terrible things to live with. When doctors and medication don't seem to work, you could turn to Allah for help.
A few years ago, I had tests done for cancer, about a month later the doctor phoned and said he urgently wanted to see me, it was non – Hodgkin Lymphoma, this was a name I recognised, our friend had this cancer, and died a few months later. I prayed for the wisdom, strength, peace and serenity to do God’s will, whether the cancer was a death sentence, or just an inconvenience. I can only say that from the moment of making this prayer, I have experienced a profound sense of peace, and the thought of cancer has never troubled me for a moment.
Cancer could be a truly worrying process, you wait a month or two for tests, you wait for the results, and you wait for more tests, but the prayer to do God’s will sort of handed the problem to God, and I have never had to worry. I have never once prayed for healing, at the age of 62, the prayer for healing seemed too complicated, it might or might not be my time to go. Recognising this profound sense of peace comes from God, gives me reason to be thankful.
I could not imagine this sense of peace without a faith and trust in God. I can say, from the moment of hearing about my cancer and making that prayer, I could talk about cancer in the same way as I talk about what’s for dinner?
I can remember my first visit to an oncologist, my wife was nervous and worried, the doctor was fussing about, he kept wanting to know how I was. I can only remember having a sense of peace while all this was going on, the doctor wanted to give me a thick leaflet all about the cancer, but I said I would never read it.
In the spirit of praying for a peace that transcends all our understanding.
