Religious therapy "spiritual healing or physical healing" "second draft"




     The increased interest in alternative medicine at the end of the twentieth century has given rise to the relationship of religion to health. Spiritual healing is amethod of treatment that works on the body, mind and spirit, which are seen as one unit that must harmonize for good health. The healing does not come from the healer, but through him.As Spiritual healing is the belief that religious faith can bring about healing.Religious therapy can be either through prayers , reading verses from the Qur'an and the use of roquia that evoke a divine presence and power toward correcting disease and disability.There are many people who believe in the power of spiritual healing and its ability to cure on many occasions while others believe that spiritual healing is just a superstition.


           On the one hand, people who believe in the power of  spiritual healing think that disease, as well as sin and death, doesn't originate with "God" and, therefor, are not real.They see "God" as the only healer and that All healing is, in some way, divine healing.. Instead of conventional medical remedies, they pray for the sick person  as they believe that prayer is the most effective method of treatment. Spiritual healer  believes are that people with strong sense of spirituality and routine prayer had less pain, needed less medication, and had more social outlets that helped them to cure of their disease  faster than those who don't have a spiritual practice. Also they believe that through spiritual healing and prayer numerous people can be cured of illness and diseases the medical community had declared incurable.






         On the other hand, people who believe that spiritual healing  is just a superstition think that taking a medicine is the best way to get better. They think that if you are sick, you must go to a physicain and seek a doctor's aid. As they believe that spiritual healing  methods are not effective and that our right to live is more important than our wrong religious beliefs. They also demand that parents must be judged "abusive or neglectful" if they choose to deny their children conventional medical care for religious reasons.




          For me,I don't deny spiritual healing or religios therapy ,but I think that they are  more useful in the treatment of mental illness,distress and depression as it relieves the soul and makes us feel better..I don't believe that any  person has the power to heal others. Only through complete faith in God can one 'heal himself' and if, it is the will of theLordGod.It is really God that is in control. God knows why some people get healed and others don't, even if we donot know.Someone I know went to one of the clergymen and left disappointed and confused. He thought
the reason he was not healed was because his faith was not strong enough and he was not worthy.I do not think that there must be a mode between a person and his Lord. I do not believe in those who call themselves spiritual healer and give themselves the   right to judge other's faith as if they are a successor to God .  










To sum up , people should have the right to choose the treatment they believe in,conventional or alternative.And whatever your choice is you should know that through developing a connection with God, the person gain security through the conviction that you are not all alone in the universe, even at those times when you feel temporarily separated from other people. You feel increasingly safe as you come to believe that there is a source you can always turn to in times of difficulty.There is much security to be gained through the understanding that there is no problem or difficulty that cannot be resolved through the help of God and this don't mean that If you feel sick ,you shouldn't go to a doctor and seek his aid.

air pollution

       




   Although we suffer from many problems , pollution is the most dangerous one we face today.Pollution is one of the greatest dangerous of our modern technology .In fact, there are many kinds of pollution and I think air pollution is the most dangers one , as air supplies us with oxygen which is essential for our bodies to live. Unfortunately humans release substances into air that threaten our lives & cause disorder,instability,discomfort and harm to the living environment.




The are many causes of pollution .First of all the smoke of cars, factories, and the garbage which is thrown into streets .Carbon dioxide is also one of the main pollutants that causes air pollution.The manufacturing process of most products would require the use of this gas.Power plants and our reliance on fossil fuels for transportation make up the biggest percentage of air pollution. Another source of air pollution is the burning of solid waste. Although recycling is more popular nowadays than ten to twenty years ago, the amount of solid waste continues to rise each year.Also pollution can be created by indoor activites such as smoking and cooking .





 Pollution has a terrible effect on the people . Many different chemicals in the air affect the human body in negative ways and causes many dangerous diseases such as cancer, and heart diseases .Air pollutants such as ozone,and nitrogen oxides,also have harmful effects on nature.  They can kill plants and trees by destroying their leaves, and can kill animals, especially fish in highly polluted rivers.Also, high temperatures in recent years are due to the high proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.




   To solve this problem , factories should be built outside cities .Trees should be built everywhere to purify the atmosphere.Cars should be checked reguraly.The government should built new cities in the desert to relieve the pressure of the crowded cities.






  To sum up, I would like to say that breathing clean air is more of a distant dream.So we have to keep our environment clean to live happil.
