Why Is My Child Always Sick? The Spiritual Root Causes & Sunnah Solutions
It feels like an endless cycle. One week it’s a fever, the next it’s a tummy bug, then a chest infection. You are constantly calling the GP in London, waiting in A&E in Paris, or picking them up early from school.
You give them the antibiotics. You dress them warmly for the UK weather. You feed them vitamins. Yet, they seem to catch every virus that passes by.
While medical reasons like a developing immune system are valid, Islam teaches us that the physical and spiritual worlds are connected. When a child is constantly sick despite medical care, we must look at the Spiritual Factors.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"The influence of the evil eye is a fact... if anything were to precede the divine decree it would be the evil eye." (Muslim)
At Sunnah Diagnostic, we help parents understand the "Unseen" triggers of illness. Here are the 3 main spiritual reasons your child might be chronically unwell, and how to fix them.
1. The "Magnet" Effect (Al-Ayn/Evil Eye)
Children are naturally beautiful, energetic, and pure. This makes them magnets for the Evil Eye (Al-Ayn). In the age of social media, we share photos of our children looking cute or achieving milestones to hundreds of people across Europe and the world. Not everyone says "Masha'Allah" or "Allahumma Barik."
How it causes sickness: The Evil Eye acts like a spiritual arrow. When it hits a child, it creates a "crack" in their spiritual defense. This weakens their physical immune system, making them susceptible to every germ they encounter.
-
Signs: Sudden high fevers without infection, crying without reason, pale face, or sudden weight loss.
2. The "Spiritual Sponge" (Absorbing Home Energy)
Children are like spiritual sponges. They absorb the energy of the environment they live in. If a home is filled with arguments, lack of prayer, or if the "Evening Protection" (closing windows at Maghrib) is neglected, the house becomes heavy.
-
The Impact: In the UK, where days are short in winter, we spend a lot of time indoors. If the home has negativity or Shayateen present, a sensitive child’s body reacts with physical illness—constant lethargy, nightmares, or stomach aches—as a way of processing that stress.
3. The "Inherited" Affliction
Sometimes, the child is not the target; the parent is. If a mother or father is suffering from intense Hasad (Envy) or Sihr (Magic), the negative energy can "spill over" onto the weakest members of the family—the children.
-
The Sign: The child gets sick specifically when the parent is stressed, or after family gatherings where the parents were the center of attention.
The Sunnah "Immunity" Protocol
You treat the fever with paracetamol, but how do you treat the spiritual breach?
Step 1: The Internal Shield (Black Seed & Honey)
Boost their physical and spiritual immunity simultaneously.
-
Routine: Every morning, give them a teaspoon of Raw Honey mixed with a few drops of Black Seed Oil.
-
Why: The Prophet (saw) called Black Seed a "cure for everything." It strengthens the body’s defenses against both viruses and spiritual harm.
Step 2: The External Shield (Ruqyah Bath)
If they are constantly sick, they need a spiritual detox.
-
Routine: Bathe your child with water mixed with crushed Sidr Leaves or Ruqyah Water.
-
Why: This washes away the traces of the Evil Eye attached to their skin. Many parents report their children sleeping peacefully and recovering faster after a Sidr bath.
Step 3: The Daily Fortress (Adhkar)
You wouldn't send your child out into the European winter without a coat. Do not send them out without Adhkar.
-
Routine: Every morning and evening, place your hand on their head and recite the 3 Quls (Ikhlas, Falaq, Naas). This is their invisible armor.
