A psychologist from Netherlands, Professor Van der Hoven, announced his
discovery about the effect of reading the Quran 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 Quran 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 heartbeat.
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 Quran. 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 (Quran) is the truth.
(Holy Quran 42:53).
