In the Name of Allah The Merciful The Compassionate
Wa Nunaz Zilu Min Al-Qurani Ma Huwa Shifaa Un Wa Rahmatul Lil Moomineena
Wa La Yazeeduz Zalimeena Illa Khasara (N)
We sent down in the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe: to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss [QURAN: Bani Israeel - Chapter 17 Verse 82]

(SUPPLICATION, MEDICINE and RELIANCE on ALLAH) ABOUT SUFI HEALING
The Sufis are high rank spiritual teachers within Islam, whose one of their responsibility is to maintain and transmit the hidden, deeper knowledge contained in the Holy Qur'an. For the Sufis, the supreme object of life is to serve and obey God, to emulate His divine attributes, and thereby to earn His pleasure. Among the service to humanity, that which the Sufis consider superior to all others is the healing of the sick. Their method is called the Sufi Healing.
There are four kinds of healing methods known to us: The Sufi healing method is an Islamic healing method using Divine spiritual power practiced exclusively by the Sufis for centuries. The basic principle in Sufi Healing is that the True Healer is God Himself, the Sufis only act as mediators.
The physical healing methods of the Sufis derive first from the Holy Quran and second from the traditions and actions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Sufis use four things in their treatment of diseases: prayers, medicine, by practicing something, or using specific things.
Prayers in Islam is known as salat, a specific practice combining body movements and reciting of Quranic verses and supplications, which must be performed five times a day. While the true purpose of salat and fasting is to reach God's proximity, it can also give spiritual nourishment and harmonize the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual life, if done properly.
Traditional medicine or therapy (water therapy, aromatherapy, etc.) are sometimes Sufis also used traditonally medicine or therapy (water therapy,.... etc.) depending on the condition of the patient. Zikr, simply translated as "Divine remembrance", also practiced as a method to cure mental or physical illness. It is performed by repeating holy verses or God's attributes either individually or in a group, usually under supervision of a Sufi teacher.
The Sufis also combine the using of God's attributes and holy verses with prayer in a specific and complex method. The formulations may be written on a paper, which is called wifq. Those things are to be put in a glass of water to be taken by the patient or buried in the ground, or carried around by the patient. The formulations can also be spoken aloud or in heart, or using many other ways. This can be applied not only to cure mental or physical illness, but also to solve family, financial and social problems.
This last method includes power from God's angels for constructive purposes only, and it is not the same with voodoo, black magic, or witchcraft which use the power from jinn or evil spirits which can be used for destructive purposes.
