INDIGESTION OR STOMACH PROBLEMS

Medical Knowledge given bv Prophet Mohammad(SAW)

I seek refuge in Allah from shaytan, the accursed.

I begin with the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

O my Lord open my chest and make my work easy for me and open the knot of my tongue, so that they (the people) will understand my speech

I would like to start my column with the gratitude of Allah who is the Creator, the sustainer and the real Healer. He created entire world and he knows each and every thing, which is above the sky, between the sky and earth and beneath the earth. He knows what is under the bottom of seas and what is inside the mountain. We look to the plants that stand by their roots. The beauty of plants comes by its stems, leaves, flowers. These are not useless; Allah gave healing effect on them. It is up to us how much knowledge we have about Natural things and how much we understand Allah's power. Herbal and Nutritional products have a very important role on our health. They nourish the body, so that the body can heal itself. Allah created plants, animals and minerals for benefit of human being and Allah also gave healing effect through them. He gave healing effect in Honey. Allah says in Holly Qur'an in Surah An Nahl Chapter 16 Verses 68 & 69 more or less meaning is that: And thy Lord taught the Bee to build its cells in hills, on trees, and in men's habitations. Then to eat of all the produce (of the earth), and find with skill the spacious paths of its Lord: there issues from within their bodies a drink of (varying colors, wherein is healing for men: verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought. At the time of Prophet Mohammad (SAW) there was no modern Medical Technology, but people of those days were healthy, because they were living their lives in a natural way, obeying the orders of Allah and following the life styles of Prophet Mohammad (SAW). If we maintain our daily life according to Allah's Health Rule, we will be healthy. Living our lives in a simple way will protect us from many diseases. Eat those things which Allah allows to eat, avoid those things which Allah prohibits.

Manners of eating and sleeping: Before and after eating food, first we should wash our hands, sit for eating in such a manner as Prophet Mohammad (SAW) mentioned, and start eating by saying:

I begin with the name of Allah and with the barakah (blessings) of Allah.

Eat in such a way as Prophet Mohammad (SAW) said. Eat by using fingers instead of spoon and fork. Because by the order of Allah, fingers secrete enzymes during eating, which helps in digestion. During eating make 3 parts of stomach: One for food, second for water and 3rd empty. After finishing eating praise Allah by saying:

All praise is for Allah, the one who fed us, who gave us drink, and made us among the Muslims.

If we follow these rules of eating, we will never be getting any Indigestion or stomach problems.
