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)
