Treating Common Problems

Firstly, I would like to apologize for being in hiatus.
I will try to make it up on the past few weeks I had left.
I hope everyone is in their best condition right now as there have been four cases reported on ( Rubella ).


Continuing on our topic on Prophet's Medicine, this post will guide you on among the common problem and diseases we need to maturely treat.


Treating Tonsillitis & Administration of Medication Orally.


Sahihah narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) said that;

Cupping and marine costus are among your best remedies; and do not torture your children by pressing their uvula to cure tonsillitis.


Bleeding of nose can caused due to ( tonsillitis ) or headache, at most people that isn't in the state of trauma.

Abu Ubaidah once said that this is a blood-related throat irritation. Roughly, it is an ulcer that appears between the ear and the throat that normally attacked young boys.



Aloes are widely known for their benefits. Among them is to cure tonsillitis, in this case.
Scrub aloes through the nose externally where composed of
bloods related phlegm accumulates in the body/nose. it will tighten up the uvula and pulls it up to the proper anatomical position. Doing this when the person is laying on his back and his shoulders are elevated so that the head lay back. In this position, medication would reach the head and disease is extracted by sneezing.

In those days way back before our great gr
andfather was born, children suffered from tonsillitis had to be treated by pressing the uvula and sometimes affixing an object to the uvula.
This practise is disallowed by Prophet (PBUH) strictly.


Treating Disease of Heart.


Dates (Kurma) especially from Madinah gives great qualities and very effective in treating heart ailments.



Using seven dates is known through relevation.

Prophet had once said that;

Whoever eat dates from the area of Al-Aliah when he gets up in the morning then no poison or magic would harm that day.


Dates; a type of fruit widely known for its nutritional and medicinal value. Physiologically, dates do not produce harmful waste or excretements like any other types of foods. It preserves the bodily waste from being spoiled and from rotting, especially for those who are used to eating dried dates. Now, that's a bonus!

As said before, dates has a spiritual and material significance.
Allah SWT has created seven heavens, seven earths, seven days in a week and made the creation of mankind pass through seven stages.
Plus, Tawaf is made seven circumambulations, and the Sa'i is also seven trips between Safa and Marwah. Besides that, the Jamrat are stoned with seven pebbles each and the Takbir during 'Eid prayer is made seven times.

In addition, Prophet (PBUH) reminded;

Command him to pray upon reaching the age of seven.


These statements coming from The Prophet are certainly true and divinely revealed, deserve to be believed, without any hesitation or denial.


Guidance on Food and Drink contaminated by Flies.

Sahihan narrated that Messenger of Allah SWT said;

If a housefly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the drink), for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease.


This is to confirm your disbelieves to some of you in this matter.
In this case, Allah SWT reminded us to not waste the food or drinks that had been intruded by the flies. There is always a silver lining behind every cloud, isn't it?

This Hadith comes in two areas of interest, Fiqh and medicinal.
In Fiqh part, Hadith states that when a flyfalls in water or fluids, it does not make it impure. The Prophet ordered when the fly falls on hot food, dip it. thus killing the fly. Logically thinking, if the fly's death inside the food will lost it's purity, surely The Prophet would have ask us to throw the food away. On the contrarary, we are asked to salvage the food.

Bees, hornets, spiders and their familes are treated the same way as the houseflies of which they have no blood and do not cause impureness of the food.

A for medicinal value, purpose of dipping the fly is to extract the cure from its wing just as the poison was extracted from the other wing that fell on the food.

Houseflies do carry poisonous materials as evidenced by the effect of their bite, such as rashes and infections. This poison is the fly's weapon to defense itself. The Prophet (PBUH) ordered that we neutralize the poisonous substance produced by the fly with the cure Allah SWT has kept on its other wing.

If the head of houseflies is amputated, the body is used to scrub the tumor that appears in the eyelid, and it will cure it, Allah's willing.
