Psychologist Discovers the Effect of Repeating the Word “ALLAH”
Non-Muslim Psychologist Discovers the Effect of Repeating the Word “ALLAH” in
Curing Psychological Diseases.
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.
“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)
