The one who suffers from Migraines and severe headaches is in fact very fortunate.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) suffered very much from severe headaches and migraines. Sometimes, for days on end he would suffer extreme pain and would even deliver the khutbah (sermon) with his head covered in oily bandages.

Once, describing the People of the Fire (Jahannam). Rasulullah (peace be upon him) said: They are those who do not suffer from pain in their heads.

Just then a bedouin entered and he asked him: O Bedouin! Did you ever experience this type of headache?

He replied: What is a headache?

Rasulullah (peace be upon him) said: It is the throbbing of veins in the head of a person.

The man replied: I have never experienced this.

When the bedouin turned to go away, Rasulullah (peace be upon him) said: Whoever wishes to look at a person from the People of the Fire should look at this Man. (Ahmad)





there are numerous ahadiths that indicate the blessing of enduring hardships, one of which is headaches, any type of sickness or illness.

Whenever a Muslim experiences any hardship like sickness (etc.), Allah wipes away his sins just as a tree sheds its leaves during autumn. (Bukhaari and Muslim)

The Prophet (peace be upon him) has taught us that a person is tested according to the level of Deen present in his life. If he is firm on his Deen then the test is correspondingly severe, and if he is weak on his Deen then the hardship is made easy upon him. (Tirmidhi | Ibn Maajah)

Aa’isha (Radiyalaahu anha) said: I have never seen anybody suffering from sickness as much as Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him). (Sahih Bukhari)

When the sins of a person become so much that his good deeds are unable to wipe them out, then Allah lets grief overcome him in order to forgive his sins. (Ahmad)

When Allah wishes good for a person, then he becomes afflicted with sickness (or hardship). (Bukhaari)

(Sometimes) a very high rank (in Allah’s sight) is decreed for a Mu’min which he could never have attained by virtue of his deeds, so Allah lets him experience some hardship, whether it be physical, material (financial, etc.) or concerning his children. Then, He makes him patient and lets him attain the position decreed for him. (Ahmad | Abu Dawood)

On the Day of Qiyaamah, when people will be rewarded in compensation for their suffering and difficulties in the world, then those people who had always lived a life of ease and comfort will (regretfully) wish that their skins were cut with scissors in the world. (Tirmidhi)

When a Mu’min experiences any fatigue, disease, sorrow, grief, hurt or distress, even to the extent that if a thorn has to prick him, Allah wipes away some of his sins for that.’ (Sahih Bukhaari)
