Bismillah
As salam alaikum
I was listening to a lecture discussing how we are blessed in this time to see some of the secrets of the Qur'an and Sunnah being revealed. The Companions used to do as the prophet said solely because he said. We are now in a time where we do not only because the prophet said but because science endorses what has been revealed.
I find it sad that our faith is not greater than their's was though.
On a side note: Before I became muslim I had terrible allergies. I was on medication from the time that I was a small child until after I converted. Once I started washing out my nasal passages five times a day though I noticed that my allergies were not so bad. Now I have no greater problems than most people. I have recently seen in pharmacies "new" saline nasal sprays for cleaning out the nasal passage. Doctors even advice patients to use such sprays for allergies now. When will we wake up and realize that if we just follow Islam to the letter, we will be taken care of fully?
jazakum Allah Khair
As salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
