Repeating the Word "Allah" Relieves Stress
This is about the latest report
of a Netherlands Psychologist, Vander Hoven.
REPORT: Vander Hoven, a psychologist from Netherlands,
announced his new discovery about the effect of reading the Qur'an and repeating the word ALLAH both on patients and
on normal persons.
The Dutch professor confirms his discovery with studies and research applied
on many patients over a period of three years. Some of his patients were
non-Muslims, others do not speak Arabic and were trained to pronounce the
word "ALLAH" clearly; the result was great, particularly on those
who suffer from dejection and tension.
The Psychologist has proved that which Almighty God has already Said
in The Noble Quran (Chapter (13) Ar Rad Verse 28) 1400 years ago :
"who have believed and whose heart have Rest in the remembrance of Allah. Beware! It is the remembrance of Allah which provides tranquility to the hearts."
Al Watan, a Saudi daily reported that the
psychologist was quoted to say that Muslims who can read Arabic and who read
the Qur'an regularly can protect themselves from
psychological diseases. The psychologist explained how each letter in the
word "ALLAH" affects healing of psychological diseases.
He pointed out in his research that pronouncing the first letter in the word
"ALLAH" which is the letter (A), released from the respiratory
system, controls breathing. He added that pronouncing the velar consonant (L)
in the Arabic way, with the tongue touching slightly the upper part of the
jaw producing a short pause and then repeating the same pause constantly,
relaxes the aspiration. Also, pronouncing the last letter which is the letter
(H) makes a contact between the lungs and the heart and in turn this contact
controls the heart beat.
What is exciting in the study is that this psychologist is a non-Muslim, but
interested in Islamic sciences and searching for the secrets of the Holy Qur'an.
Allah, The Great and Glorious, says, We will show them Our signs in the
universe and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that "This (Qur'an) is the
truth." (Holy Qur'an 42:53).
