Is Death worth giving up pharmaceuticals-a true story

A very sad story: My friend who has 9 children and the most religious person I know who relies strictly on food herbs, no doctors ever, no pharmaceuticals ever (just once). When was the one time in 55 years she used pharmaceuticals. Well it was last week and her husband died. He had been feeling very sad, not wanting to go outside, kept to himself mainly. I asked if he was having Depression and they said no he was just sad. So someone in the family out of desperation went for that ultimate death pill. He had never ever had a pharmaceutical in his life and had always relied on food herbs. He was never, ever sick and then one day he was sad. Maybe he knew he was going to die, maybe there was some sadness we don't know about but he was sad.

So he took the pills and three days later he lied down to rest before going to the Masjid to pray and he never got up again. The doctor came and told them it was not his heart. He did not have a stroke. Then what they asked. The doctor told them he had a bad reaction to the medicine. The family is pennliness and a house even I am so sad about but I would trade places with them anyday for the emense faith they have. It has been such a shock at the loss of their beloved father but they will survive. But here we are today to warn you. Be careful before you swallow that easy answer.

***In Islam we are never to say we should of done such and such but Allah gives us a brain and information to live a better life so in this case I ask you to be smarter. Pharmaceuticals have been the death of many a good muslim thru Allah, swt, permission. Tweet
