Fever in Islam
Fever clears out one's transgressions and frees his body from dead substances and germs. It is a surprisingly positive development.
The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice ) stated: "When a devotee becomes ill or feverish, it is like metal when put ablaze, the terrible is gone and the great remains." [Al-Bayhaqi]
He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice ) additionally depicts the power of fever by saying: "Fever is coal from heck, dispose of it by utilizing cold water." [Ibn Majah]
The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah magnify his notice ) prohibited the reviling of fever by saying: "Don't revile a fever since it nullifies sins like flame annuls soil from iron." [Ibn Majah]
What is fever?
The expansion of body temperature brought about by bacterial or viral contamination is called fever. A bacterial or viral disease as a rule raises the temperature of an individual, anti-toxins are futile with viral contaminations, for example, the flu and the basic cold, in spite of the fact that the patient may sweat and have a high fever.
Fever happens when the body temperature level transcends the typical dimension of 37oC (98oF). There is a territory in the cerebrum (a zone that lies over the pituitary organ in the front of the head) which is a temperature controller.
When a germ enters the body, it begins emitting poisons. Poisons influence the temperature controller making its temperature rise. The substances that reason this ascent in temperature are called pyrogens. Pyrogens are caused by germs as well as by the destroyed tissues in the body in the wake of being influenced with germs.
When the temperature ascends in the temperature controller, the remainder of the body needs to agree. It expands its temperature accordingly. Before long, the entire body feels feverish and the patient's temperature rises. This clarifies the maxim of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice ) when he portrayed the devotees to their generosity and affections like the body. On the off chance that a piece of it experiences a germ or an infection, like aggravation in the respiratory pathways or irritation of the urinary tracts and others, the majority of the body experiences fever and anxiety.
Indeed the entire body endures. The entire body has an ascent in temperature and not just where it is influenced. When the aggravation intensifies, the germs increment and thus ruin the tissues. The germs and the pyrogens will discover the body's resistance framework prepared to assault and eat the results of the germs and free the body of them. While doing this, it discharges to the body liquids a substance called leukocyte pyrogens or endogenous. In this way the fever remains while the body is purifying itself from the results.
Didn't the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice ) state, when a man reviled the fever: "Don't revile it since it nullifies sins like flame cancels soil from iron."
It is a purging of our wrongdoings, a purifying of dead substances, for example, dead tissue and the side-effects of the germs, like flame cleans the soil from iron.
The renowned book on physiology by Guyton, 1992 version, expressed that a sum equivalent to one more than 10 billionth of a gram of endogenous is sufficient for a fever to happen.
Such a little measure of a substance emitted in the body because of an exceptionally little germ or an infection is sufficient to exchange an individual structure being solid, to getting to be wiped out, feverish and disabled.
Later logical examinations have demonstrated that this leukocyte pyrogens cause fever by making a substance called prostaglandin in the neighborhood organs in the zone of the nerve center. When the development of this sort of prostaglandin is repressed, by utilizing drugs, the fever is diminished. This clarifies how headache medicine decreases fever. It hinders the development of prostaglandin and anticipates its creation.
The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhe wa sallam, stated: "For each illness, there is a fix. On the off chance that the fix achieves the infirmity, it is relieved by the desire of Allah." [Muslim]
That clarifies the known wonders that headache medicine does not diminish the temperature of an ordinary individual who isn't feverish. That is on the grounds that he doesn't have these endogenous in his body to chip away at the nerve center.
How do chills happen and why?
The temperature level in the temperature controller rises all of a sudden structure its ordinary dimension to a more elevated amount, because of harm in the tissues, because of the arrival of temperature producing substances or because of drying out. When this occurs, the body temperature ascends inside a couple of hours to accomplish the new temperature.
Amid this period, the patient shudders and feels chilly, despite the fact that the body temperature is high, since veins in the skin contract. The chills stay until the body temperature achieves the new dimension set by the temperature controller.
When the body temperature achieves that dimension, the chills stop and the patient feels neither warm nor cold. For whatever length of time that the contamination proceeds and the purpose behind the ascent in temperature proceeds, the body temperature stays at this new dimension until Allah licenses recuperation.
What is the remedy for fever?
The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) instructs us to decrease the fever with water. The equivalent is as yet connected today. Putting cold cushions on a patient's brow is as yet utilized in a great deal of emergency clinics and by specialists despite the fact that fever lessening meds are bottomless, like headache medicine, paracetamol (or acetaminophen, which is the dynamic fixing in Tylenol) and others.
Utilizing water to decrease fevers isn't restricted to utilizing cold cushions. Drinking a ton of liquids is likewise useful. This is additionally comprehended from the wordings of the Prophetic portrayal: "cool it with water." Water is either what the patient beverages, what is given intravenously or what the patient puts all over or body to cool the fever.
We have seen a great deal of patients where fever diminishing medications (antipyretics) were not compelling with their rising fever. In the meantime, chilly water had a quick impact. That is the reason pediatricians encourage guardians to take a youngster's garments off and give a great deal of liquids if a fever happens. An antipyretic may likewise be give like paracetamol. Headache medicine has been restricted for youngsters under 12 years old.
[Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim may Allah show benevolence upon him stated: "I recall once, when I was feverish, a writer reviling the fever, saying:
The transgression purifier has visited and left.
How abhorrent it is when visiting and when leaving
She asked while preparing to leave What do you want?
I answered, to never come back again.
I stated, disgrace on him, he reviled what the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) disallowed to be reviled. On the off chance that he had stated:
The serious sin chemical has visited.
Welcome to it while visiting and keeping in mind that leaving
She asked while preparing to leave What do you want?
I answered, to not leave.
It would have been exceptional for him despite everything it would have left."]
