Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to the nature of His wisdom and justice impose a variety of tests and trials to His servants who believe in particular, and all beings in general.
Among the forms of test and trial it is the presence of various types of diseases at this age, because the people of disobedience and rebellion against Allaah and His Messenger sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam.

"It has been apparent damage on land and at sea are caused by works of human hands, that God may feel to them a portion of the (result of) their actions, so they go back (to the right path)." (Ar-Rum: 41)

Islam is perfect, which requires a Muslim to keep his faith and his status as a servant of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
A Muslim would view it as a variety of diseases:

1. Test and trial from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.

"What makes life and death, that He may test you, who among you a better charity. And He is Mighty, Forgiving. "(Al-Mulk: 2)

"We will test you with evil and goodness as a trial (in truth). And just to We're the guys you returned. "(Al-Anbiya ': 35)

Ibn Kathir says in his commentary rahimahullahu about this verse: "We tested you, sometimes with various calamities and sometimes with a variety of pleasures. So We will see who is grateful and who is Kufr (against the favor of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala), who is patient and who are desperate (from His Mercy).

As the words of Ali bin Abi Talhah, from Ibn Abbas radi 'anhuma:' We will test you with evil and the good, the intention is to narrow and the spaciousness of life, with health and illness, with wealth and poverty, with clean and unclean, with obedience and disobedience, with the guidance and misguidance; then we will reply your deeds-deeds. '"

Trials and temptations will come and go until the coming of death.

"Do ye think that ye would enter paradise, but have not come to you (trials) as well as those who passed away before you?" (Al-Baqarah: 214)

Rahimahullahu Ibn Kathir said: "(Exam that will come is) a variety of disease, illness, accident, and other trials."

If so, then the attitude of a Muslim when facing various trials and temptations are always trying to be patient, sincere, expecting reward from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, constantly invoke the help of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala so as not to anger and wrath against the override taqdir himself, nor despair of His mercy.

2. A sin.

Had every sin and mistakes that we do have returned without any maghfirah (forgiveness) of His sin or another, then who among us who survived the wrath of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala? Thus, including the wisdom and justice of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala that He made various tests and trials as eraser for our sins.

"Verily good deeds were abolished (sin) bad deeds." (Hud: 114)

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri and Abu Hurayrah radi 'anhuma, from the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam, he said:

"It does not override a Muslim fatigue, pain, fear, sadness, and grief disorder, until even the thorn that about him, but God will wipe away her sins." (Agreed alaih)

Ash-Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen said in Sharh Riyadhish rahimahullahu Righteous (1 / 94): "If thou be overwritten calamity you shall not believe that the grief or pain that happens, sampaipun spines of you, will pass without meaning. In fact Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala will replace with a better (reward) and eliminate the cause of your sins with it. As the trees shed their leaves.

This is a blessing of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. Thus, when the accident occurred and the affected person's:
a. considering the merits and expect it, then he will get two replies, which taketh away the sin and goodness additional (patient and accepting of the disaster).
b. forgotten (the promise of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala), it will be cramped the chest while making sure of the intention to get the reward from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.

From this description, there are two options for the affected person: lucky to get an additional sin and virtue, or a loss, do not get a good even earn the wrath of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala because he was angry and impatient over taqdir it. "

3. Health is a blessing of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is much overlooked.

Ibn Abbas radi 'anhuma said, the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said:

"Two of pleasure that most people forgot it, namely health and leisure." (Narrated by Al-Bukhari)

How many people are aware of the existence of health favors this, after he fell ill. So sick of this tragedy be a warning that valuable to him. After that he was most grateful for the blessings of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is. That class of the lucky ones.

Syar'i-adab adab when Sick

Among the evidence of the perfection of Islam, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa-sallam menuntunkan good adab adab when a servant falling ill. Thus, even in sickness, a Muslim can still realize servitude to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. Among civilized manners are:

1. Be patient and accepting the provisions of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, as well as the kind thought to him.
From Abu Yahya ibn Sinan Shuhaib radi 'anhu, the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said:

"It is amazing the affairs of the believers. Indeed all good business for him, and this attitude is not shared except by a believing people. If the emptiness of life she endured, she was grateful, then it is good for him. If the narrowness of life happen to him, he is patient, then it is also good for him. "(Narrated by Muslim)

From Jabir radi 'anhu, that the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said:

"Let not any one of you is dead, except in the circumstances would have thought he was kind enough to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala." (Narrated by Muslim)

2. Treatment in ways that Sunnah or the permissible and not contrary to the Shari'a.

Narrated from `Abud Darda radi 'anhu in marfu':

"Verily, Allah created the illness and cure. So you seek medical treatment, and do not seek it is something that is haram. "(Narrated by Ad-Daulabi. Ash-Shaykh Al-Albani declared it hasan hadeeth sanad. See Ash-Saheehah no. 1633)

Also narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:

"It is not God sent down any disease but one God revealed to him the drug anyway. Already know people who know, and people who do not know will not know it. "(Narrated by al-Bukhari. Reported also by Al-Imam Muslim from Jabir radi 'anhu)

Among the forms of treatment that Sunnah is:
a. Honey and berbekam
It was narrated from Ibn Abbas radi 'anhuma that the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said:

"The drug was there on three things: drinking honey, cupping scratches, and kay1 with fire, but I forbid kay." (Narrated by Al-Bukhari)

In another narration: "I'm not happy seeing a kay."

b. Al-`Black Seed (black cumin)

From Osama bin Syarik radi 'anhu he said, the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said:

"Al-` Black Sauda (black cumin) is the cure for all diseases except death. "(Narrated Ath-Thabarani. Told by Ash-Shaykh Al-Albani rahimahullahu that sanadnya hasan, and this hadith has a lot syawahid / support)

c. Dates' ajwah

From Aisha radi 'anha, the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam:

"On the dates 'ajwah' Aliyah is eaten in the early morning (before eating the other) is the cure for all the magic or poison." (Narrated by Ahmad. Ash-Shaykh Al-Albani declared this Hadith sanadnya rahimahullahu jayyid (good). See Ash -Saheehah no. 2000)

d. Ruqyah

Ie read the letter or the verses of the Quran or prayers that do not contain shirk, to people who are sick. Can be done by yourself or by others.

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"And We sent down from Al-Qur` an that becomes a bidder and a mercy for the believers. "(Al-Isra ': 82)

Ash-Shaykh As-Sa'di rahimahullahu in his commentary says: "Al-Qur` an `it contains Shifa (cure) and grace. But the content does not apply to everyone, only for those who believe with him, confirming his verses, and mengilmuinya. As for those who do wrong, that does not justify it or do not do good with it, then Al-Qur `an would not add to them except for the loss. And with Al-Qur `an upright means have proof of them."

Drugs (Shifa ') contained in Al-Qur `an is general. For heart / soul, Al-Qur `an is the drug of doubtful disease, ignorance, faulty thinking, deviations, and bad intentions. As for the physical, he is a drug from a variety of illness and disease.

From Abu Abdillah Uthman ibn Abil 'Ash radi' anhu:

He complained to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam about the pain in him. Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said to him: "lay it on top of your hand where the pain from your body, then read: ?????? ????? (Three times), then read seven times:

'I seek refuge with the might of God and His power, the ugliness that I feel and that I'm worried about.' "(Narrated by Muslim)

From Aisha radi 'anha that the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam visited some of his family (the sick) and then he wiped with his right hand while reading:

"O Allah, the Lord of all mankind, eliminate this disease. Heal, You are the Supreme Essence Healing. (Then) there is no cure (the cure) unless your medicine, healing which leaves no disease. "(Agreed alaih)

Or seeing a permissible ways, for example seeing a doctor or other person who has expertise in medicine such as herbs, reflexology, acupuncture, and so on.

As for treatment to a witch or shaman, or a kind of shamanic ways of spell that contain elements of shirk, or rajah, rajah of unknown significance, it is unlawful, and can cause a person to come out (apostasy) from Islam. Ibn Hakam from Mu'awiya radi 'anhu, he said: I said:

"Messenger of Allah, I had just left the period of ignorance. And indeed Allah has brought Islam. Among us there are people who come to the shaman. "Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:" Thou shalt not go to them (the shaman). "(Narrated by Muslim)

From Safia bintu Abi 'Ubayd from some wives of the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:

"Whoever went to fortune teller, and then she asked him about something and then he justify it, then it will not be accepted for 40 days." (Narrated by Muslim)

3. If pain is severe or does not go away, not allowed to expect death.

From Anas radi 'anhu he said: Messenger of Allah sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said:

"Do you expect one death due to disasters that befall him. If it had to do it, then he should pray:

'O God, quicken me when life was good for me and I wafatkanlah death when it is good for me'. "(Agreed alaih)

4. If he has an obligation (such as debt, loans, etc.), or the trust was not he exert, or the injustice against the rights of others which he did, he should hasten to finish with a question, if possible.

If not possible, because the remote place, or there is no ability, or other causes, should he intestate (the heirs) in the case. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"And those who keep the messages (which endured) and its promise." (Al-Mu `minun:

From Abu Huraiah radi 'anhu, the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam, he said:

"Anyone who does injustice to his brother, either on his self-esteem or something else, should he asked that his brother was menghalalkannya (forgive him) on this day, before (the coming days) that there is no dinar nor dirham. If he has good deeds, will be taken from him according kezalimannya levels (and given to the dizaliminya). If he does not have the virtues, will be taken from the ugliness of people who have been wronged and dipikulkan him. "(Narrated by Al-Bukhari)

From Jabir radi 'anhu, he said:

"Before the battle of Uhud, my father called me at night. He said: 'No, I guess unless I get killed on the first group among the companions killed the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam. And indeed I did not leave after me who is more noble than you, except the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Actually I have the pay the debt. Encourage your brothers well. ' When we entered the morning, he was among the first people killed. "(Narrated by Al-Bukhari)

5. Prescribed immediately wrote a testament to witness two Muslim men equitable. If not obtained because of Safar, allowed to witness two people of the book fair.

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:

"O ye who believe, if one of you face death, while he would make one's will, then let (the will) be witnessed by two just men among you, or two different people with your religion, if you're on the way in face of the earth, and ye shall be overwritten danger of death. "(Al-Ma` idah: 106)
From Ibn Umar radi 'anhuma, from the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam, he said:

"No right of a Muslim through two nights in a state he had something he wanted to wasiatkan except his will be on his side."

And Ibn Umar radi 'anhuma said: "It is not even passed over me one night since I heard the Messenger sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said that, unless there by my side my will." (Agreed alaih)
Ibn 'Abd al Bar rahimahullahu said (At-Tamhid, 14/292): "The scholars agree that the will was not mandatory, except for people who have dependents without proof, or he has a mandate that no witnesses. If so, he shall be intestate. He should not be in two nights except indeed been witness it.

Partially allowed for him bequeath the inheritance, a maximum of one third. Should not be more than that. Even Ibn Abbas radi 'anhuma said: "I'm glad that people reduce the amount of 1 / 3 to ¼ in terms of a will. The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:' One third of the lot. '"(Narrated by Ahmad, al-Bukhari, Muslim and Al-Bayhaqi)

Wills are not allowed to heirs who are entitled to inheritance, except with the willingness of all other heirs. Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:

"Verily, Allah has given each of which has the right of their rights, then there is no testament to heirs." (Narrated by Abu Dawood and At-Tirmidhi, dihasankan by al-Albaani in al-Irwa `)
Ibn Mundhir rahimahullahu said (Al-Ijma 'of things. 100): "The scholars agree that there is no testament to the heirs unless the heirs (other) allow that."

Ibn Kathir says rahimahullahu (Tafsir al-Qur `annealing 'Azhim, 1 / 471):" When will that is engineered to give additional and roads to some of the heirs, as well as reducing some of them, then the will is unlawful, based on ijma' and with Al-Qur `an:

"(Testament of it) does not give harm (to the majority party). (God set it as such) a truly Shari'a of Allah, and Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing. "(An-Nisa ': 12)

The will that conflict with the Qur `an and Sunnah, then it is false and will not be implemented. From Aisha radi 'anha, he said: Messenger of Allah sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said:

"Whoever forges a new case on the matter (religion) is what I do not derive from it, then it is rejected." (Agreed alaih)

6. Saying the body was taken care of and was buried according to the Sunnah

Ash-Shaykh Al-Albani said rahimahullahu (Ahkamul Jana `iz, p.. 17-18):" When the customs that do the majority of the Muslims in this period is an innovation in religious matters, especially in the problem remains, then including case that mandatory is a Muslim intestate (the heirs) to be taken care of his body and buried according to the Sunnah, to live the word of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala:

"O ye who believe, guard yourselves and your families from hellfire." 2
Hence, the companions radi 'anhum bequeath it. Atsar-atsar of them (in this case) a lot. Among them:

a. From Amir ibn Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqash, that his father (ie, Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqash radi 'anhu) said when the pain that led to his death:

"Make a grave for me, and Establish the brick as it made me so the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam."

b. From Abu Burdah he said: Abu Musa radi 'anhu pass down when about to die: "When you set out to bring my body so quickly in the running. Do not include (corpse) with coals of fire. Really do not you make something that would stop me to the ground. Do not make the building above my grave. I testify to you of al-haliqah (women who shaved his hair because something bad happens), as-saliqah (woman screaming because something bad happens), and al-khariqah (the woman who tore his clothes because something bad happens). "They asked : "Did you hear something from the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam about it?" He replied: "Yes, from the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam." (Reported by Ahmad 4 / 397, Al-Bayhaqi 3 / 395, and Ibn Majah, sanadnya hasan)

Al-Imam An-Nawawi said in al-rahimahullahu Adzkar: "Sunnah for him firmly to bequeath to them (the heirs) to avoid customs that form of heresy in the management bodies. And strengthened the case (with a will). "
Bish-shawab Allaah knows best.
