Who Will Cure?
وَقِيلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقࣲ ٢٧
And men say: Where is the wizard (who can save him now).
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And it is said: “Who can cure him?”
Insight
Elmalılı explains “raq” as one turned to as a last resort in helplessness, who recites, breathes over or treats: the physical or spiritual healer called at the moment of death.
Reflect
Visit someone who is ill and pray for them.
