Nigella Sativa and Prophetic medicine

Nigella Sativa & natural immunity

Nigella Sativa Seeds

To welcome the New Year of 2022, we would like to create a series of blog posts about Prophetic medicine and how Science is catching up to the benefits of natural remedies!

There has been a lot of dispute about Immunity these days. But it only takes common sense to observe two things:

  • Preventative health measures such as diet, exercise, and taking supplements affect whether you get sick regardless of exposure to illnesses. 
  • In this era of unbelievable scientific and technological advancement, we tend to look down upon natural and holistic health approaches as inferior. It is beyond some people’s comprehension that nature’s way is the best way.

So what is ‘best way’? Well, it’s not about the ‘strongest’ medication. Just as you don’t need a butcher’s knife to cut some fruit, ‘strength’ is not everything. In fact, sometimes, it can be detrimental. It’s about the best health practices for overall health without the risky side effects. As comforting as a cup of herbal tea is, it cannot mend a broken leg. We believe that nature and science do not contradict each other. In fact, they inform one another. 

For example, numerous studies have demonstrated that rigorous exercise can be just as effective if not more so than antidepressants for relieving depression. However, physical activity comes without the unwanted side effects of antidepressants. We tend to arrogantly lose sight of nature’s wisdom. We’d like to invite you to be more open to other points of view. 

Nigella Sativa:

Muslims and Middle Easterners may be familiar with Nigella Sativa or Black Cumin Seed. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said “Use this Black Seed regularly, because it is a cure for every disease, except death.

So what is in Nigella Sativa?

This nutrient-rich seed contains thymoquinone, dithymoquinone, thymohydroquinone, and thymol. It is also rich in protein, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, C, and niacin as well as calcium, potassium, and iron. These are the very same nutrients scientists have found that we most lack and are recommended to prevent disease. (1).

Although the Prophet Muhammad was not a physician, the Quran says,“He does not speak anything of his own desire. It is only a Revelation revealed”. The Prophet made specific statements about the benefits of many medicinal herbs and plants to treat ailments and prevent disease. What is amazing is that none of his statements have been found to contradict modern scientific evidence.
