Scientific
Study On Effects Of Saying Allah properly
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 would 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)
