Throughout human history, pain and disease have been associated with human life. Therapists have sought to achieve health, cure diseases and reduce patient’s pain. Different civilizations, based on their own epistemology, philosophy approach and Knowledge, performed various therapeutic meth- ods including: classical and non-medical treatments. Classical medicine does not have a healing version for some of the human health threats. Complementary medicine such as: prayer and faith therapy are the options when classical treatments fail or become unbearable due to adverse effects.

Prayer is one of the effective factors in improving and restoring health. To the extent that the medication is effective in improving the physical condition, prayer also affects the healing of physical and mental illness. Prayer means a request from God. Sometimes praying is “friendly speaking with God”, and sometimes it’s a formidable one. In this case, even if it is not fulfilled, the prayer will benefit from it. Faith in the Almighty’s mercy, wisdom, power, gives meaning to life events and sacred suffering from the disease. Prayer provides emotional compatibility with the pain by converting the emotions derived from fear and misery to sense of security, trust, hope, optimism. Although Prayer strengthens the patient’s relationship with God and belief in God’s power and wisdom. During prayer patient feels God’s protection, calm and secure. The fear, anxiety and sorrow caused by the prognosis of the disease is destroyed by the trust of God’s mercy and kindness.
