He is a scientist and PhD so we have no choice but to accept his findings and send him money and put him on a pedestal so Eric can wash his supernatural feet.

This kind of thinking leads to jihad violence. How? If someone believes this, he will want to avoid getting MS, and think that the way to do so is to avoid doing anything that will incur Allah’s punishment. If sin causes MS, then one must avoid sin. If misfortune still comes, one must redouble one’s efforts to please Allah.
The Qur’an teaches that if one’s good deeds outweigh one’s bad deeds on the “scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection,” one will enter Paradise:
“And we set a just balance for the day of resurrection so that no soul is wronged in anything. Even if it is the weight of a grain of mustard seed, we bring it. And we are sufficient as reckoners.” (Qur’an 21:47)
When one’s deeds are weighed in these scales, the weightiest deed of all is waging jihad for the sake of Allah. Muhammad himself explains that the best of all deeds is jihad, and thus it outweighs all others:
“The Prophet said, ‘A single endeavor of fighting in Allah’s Cause is better than the world and whatever is in it.’” (Bukhari 4:52:50)
“A man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, ‘Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad in reward.’ He replied, ‘I do not find such a deed.’” (Bukhari 4:52:44)
So if you’re worried about your sins and anxious to please Allah so as to ward off MS, or simply to avoid hell, an act of jihad could be just the thing.
“’Multiple Sclerosis is a punishment from Allah,’ Turkish researcher claims. 7 such reports by him published in medical journals now retracted,” OpIndia, January 13, 2024:
A Turkish professor has reportedly claimed in one of his research papers that Multiple Sclerosis disease is a “punishment from Allah”. Hüseyin Çaksen in his academic paper said that “many patients attributed the cause of their disease to supernatural causes with the religious context in many cultures in the world.”
An Ankara-based academician Urartu Seker first tweeted about the works of Çaksen, who is a professor at the Necmettin Erbakan University and has published several research papers.
Seker took to X, formerly Twitter, on 5th January, saying that the professor “almost blasphemed science”.
He wrote, “A faculty member of the Faculty of Medicine says that MS disease has supernatural causes; Saying that MS patients are sick because they are punished by God or put to the test is rude, to say the least! It’s terrible that he can print these garbage ideas as an editorial article. How this person, who almost blasphemed science, became a Professor is truly frightening! He also proved that H-index has no meaning on its own because h-index is 34!”
Seker shared a screenshot of an excerpt from the paper published by Hüseyin Çaksen wherein he advises that health professionals should be trained about supernatural causes with religious context.
“In conclusion, we would like to emphasize that many MS patients attributed the cause of their disease to supernatural causes with the religious context in many cultures in the world. They have not shared that belief with health professionals because of fear of their reactions. Second, although it cannot be proven scientifically, we strongly believe that the main cause of the disease in some MS patients is supernatural causes such as fate, Allah’s will, and a gift or a test from Allah have found peace and comfort psychologically, mentally, and spiritually. Therefore, we believe that health professionals should be trained about supernatural causes with religious context and MS patients should be encouraged to discuss their supernatural beliefs with healthcare professionals,“ the except read.
The article titled “The importance of Religion, spirituality, and spiritual care in patients with Multiple Sclerosis” is only one among several such papers published by the Turkish professor.
A website called Retraction Watch reported that seven of Çaksen’s research papers were retracted by journal publishers which included the Journal of Pediatric Neurology, the Journal of Child Science, and the Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy. Feyza Çaksen is a co-author of two…. |
