Alzheimer’s Disease
“And when I am ill, it is He (Allah) Who cures me”
Quran 26:80
A Muslim World Epidemic
A new strain of Alzheimer’s disease has recently been
discovered in the Muslim world affecting millions of
innocent victims, previously believed to be leading
normal lives. While common symptoms of the disease,
such as loss of memory typically appear among patients
in their 40s and 50s and develop later on to complete
helplessness in the 60s, this new phenomena is
affecting Muslims of all ages.
Interestingly, the political leaders of Muslim
countries, who typically get health care services
outside their nations in advanced Western hospitals,
have shown significantly more severe symptoms of the
disease. For instance, not only did they lose their
memory, but they had increased feelings of
insensitivity towards their populace and showed signs
of inferiority and cowardliness to speak up for just
treatment when humiliated by leaders of the developed
world.
This new development was discovered after a team of
still sane medical doctors conducted extensive
epidemiological surveys in several parts of the Muslim
world. Among more than 500 carefully selected criteria
studied, they focused on symptoms related to memory
and reaction toward specific events.
For example, when the questionnaire prompted the
victims to identify the masterminds behind the
Algerian atrocities that took the lives of more than
150,000 people, few of them remembered to blame the
Algerian and French governments, although they were
familiar with ample credible evidence about the
French/Algerian conspiracy in killing Muslims.
Another test focused on the lack of activism toward
helping more than half a million Iraqi children who
have starved to death, the hundreds of thousands
oppressed in Kashmir, Palestine, and the Philippines.
Respondents showed an overwhelming sense of weakness,
another typical symptom of advanced cases of
Alzheimer’s disease.
What was unique about this new strain of the disease
is that the loss of memory and lack of activism was
selective. For example, all respondents recognized
with great details the life stories of Michael Jackson
and the Demised Diana. They also had plenty of energy
to watch the entire Wimbledon game and wait 3 hours in
line for a 30-second-ride at Disney Land.
Fortunately, the research team concluded that this
strain of the disease is 100% curable and even
preventable. A daily dose of 10 minute Quranic
reading, fasting, and alms-giving showed significant
improvement. When such acts were supplemented with
consistent regular prayer performance, taking care of
ones neighbors, and sponsoring orphans, not only were
the patients cured, but they built a strong immunity
to prevent it from ever happening.
May Allah make us among those who never forget their
history and may He give us the energy and courage to
improve the conditions of all the oppressed people to
make this world a better place. Ameen, Ya Rabb.
