Dr. Ali Shehata was diagnosed with the H1N1 virus this past week. Its in early stages Alhamdulillah and curable. He is kept under isolation currently.

Ali Shehata, M.D., renders aid to victims of a Pakistan earthquake.

Dr. Shehata is specialist writer for MuslimMatters.org. He was Born in Maryland to parents from Alexandria, Egypt, Dr. Ali Shehata received his medical degree from Midwestern University in Arizona in 2000. “Dr. Ali” as he is known to his students and teachers has received most of his Islamic education traditionally by sitting with scholars such as: Muhammad Syed Adly, Waleed Basyouni, Waleed Idrees, Thana'ullah al-Madani, AbdulRazzaq al'Abbaad and Ja'far Sheikh Idrees amongst others. He has certifications (ijaazah) in books of Aqeedah, Seerah and Hadith by the grace and mercy of Allah. Dr. Ali has also authored a number of books including: The Definitive Word on the Marriage of the Prophet Muhammad to Aisha, The Trade which Shall Never Fail: A Collection of 55 Ahadith on Actions with Immense Rewards, A Transcendental Marriage: How to Create a Special Marriage that's Way Beyond Ordinary and the soon to be released – Islam: A 21st Century Guide to the Most Misunderstood Faith in the World.

Please make dua for his quick and speedy recovery as well as all those who are diagnosed with this virus.

Ameen.

About MuslimMatters

Muslimmatters.org began in 2007 as a collaboration between various Bloggers and Shuyukh in order to bring attention to issues faced by Muslims, especially in the West. We have focused on issues of Religion, Society, Ethics, Sex Education, Politics, Civil Rights, Family, as well as the random issues that pop up from now and then, all with some ranting and humor mixed in.

We challenge ourselves and our readers to engage in discourses that touch our lives as citizens of the West, while maintaining our individual Islamic identities: Ultimately to cooperate, but not to compromise.

wow…subhan Allah
my friend’s 2 siblings got it, and my co-worker’s cousins did too
all fine though

Du’as for him. If he’s patient, his sins will be removed…so, this maybe this is a good thing!

assalamualaikum,

Allaahumma rabbannaas adhibil ba’as , ashfi anta ashshafee. laa shifaa illa shifaauk, shifaaul la yughadir saqama. ameen.

may Allaah cure and purify him and remove his suffering as He alone cures and none else and make this cause of removing of his sins. ameen.

wassalam,

ps. i understand that its not your intention insh Allaah but its a very negative way of condolence by saying to a patient that so and so also got it or comparing the disease with others and some may add to lead it to someone’s death. yes, its from Allaah and its curable. please use nothing but kind words and duas and mean it. i did not read any other comments/update except this

Farhan

err, you’re right. I re-read my comments and see how it could be interpreted as such. That was not my intention at all. I hope only the best from Allah for him and his family.

My sincere apologies.

dude, the h1n1 virus isnt that scary.

Its making huge news because of how quickly its being spread. (wash your hands everyone!!!)

However some1 gets it (as long as theyre immunocompetent, and not really young ,or really old, or pregnant) – its not that big a deal – and is just like the regular flu. I had it earlier this summer, and its very common throughout the US – at least in some parts of the US. Yes -it sucks; persistent fever, chills, feeling really fatigued, etc. but Inshallah Dr. Shehata will be fine after getting some bedrest for a week or so. Or even sooner if he diagnosed himself earlier and is taking tamiflu.

He is kept under isolation currently.

I hope you mean – hes staying isolated at home. There is no need to be hospitalized for the h1n1 virus unless you are immunocompromized (AIDS, etc.).

I’m a little nervous about the flu stuff going around but Insha’Allah if we take good care of ourselves, eat healthier, sleep, avoid exposing ourselves to other infections while our immune system is under attack (so avoiding the hospitals or doctors offices), etc… then insha’Allah it will pass just like any other flu.

May Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala bestow His Mercy on us. Ameen

Ameen to all the duaas.

Regardless of the theories for this virus, bottom line is that he and other Muslims we know are sick. May Allah purify them.

The latest in the media in Toronto is that deaths due to H1N1 come due to secondary bacterial infections. If patient has underlying bacterial infections or if flu lasts more than 3-4 days, make sure to start antibiotics.

Ameen to all the duas.

I think the brother’s post is a little late though. From what I understand, Dr. Ali has almost completely recovered by now, walhamdulillah.

As-salamaulikum,

the H1N1 or Swine Flu virus did put our country in disarray for quite sometime, it is good to know that at least it did not cause so many deaths.

One of my sisters got infected with H1N1 or more commonly known as Swine Flu. Fortunately, she did not have very high fever and she was able to recover fast .

during the height of the H1N1 or Swine Flu epidemic, i was very afraid to get infected with this disease and i wore face mask whenever i got into heavily populated areas.

At least a hundred persons in our city have been infected with the H1N1 virus. I was very scared to get infected with this disease during the pandemic*-*
