Black Seed and more
I am so sorry I have not posted! I have just been so lazy. I started this blog so I would be forced to read and learn more about the Medicine of our Prophet (sallahu alayhi wa sallam). I am wondering is there anyone out there interested in helping me with this blog? Can you share and/or write articles on any health related issue (spiritual, mental, and physical)?
Anyway, one regimen I heard so much about, and studied was that of the Black Seed. In the morning, I take it combined with a spoon full of honey and a little warm water (to make it easier to swallow). But – well – I am slacking once again! SubhanAllah! In shaa Allah, reading more articles will convince me of it’s great importance!
“There is within the black seed a cure for every disease except death“, From the statements of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam), Sahih al-Bukhari.

And another easy recipe to help encourage the use of this healthy blessing!
Ingredients
* 3 tbsp of oat flakes
* 1 tspn of honey
* 2 tbsp of flax seeds ground in a coffee grinder
* Half a tspn of black seed oil (nigella sativa)
* 250 ml water
Preparation
In a pan, place the oat flakes and water and steadily bring to a boil. Meanwhile grind the flax seeds in a coffee grinder. You should always grind flax seeds at the point of using them in the recipe, since once they are ground, they start to lose their goodness after 10-15 minutes.
Add the ground flax seeds into the pan, mix thoroughly, and then bring to a boil again. After this leave the porridge to stand off the heat for 8-10 minutes.
Add the black seed oil and the honey to the porridge when serving. If you want, you can add some blueberries and strawberries at the end.
It is so simple to make and extremely good for you.
Enjoy!

I’d be happy to help! I do not know much about Islamic medicine but I have done some research for my work on Islam & eating disorders and I have a little experience with health and wellness stuff outside of Islam, too. I don’t know how much help I would be. But insha’Allah
I never heard of islamic medecine. Could you explain what type of medecine that is. thanks.
question: is black seeds originated from Asia or North Africa (egypt)?
The medicine referred to here is the natural remedies of the Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) and what he was known to do to cure ailments and keep the body strong. In Islam we also use typical medicine, but there are many benefits, as we all know from herbal remedies. To read more specifically check out this book kalamullah.com/Books/medicine.pdf
About black seeds, from wha I read it originated in Italy and Turkey and was then brought to Asia
this is by far the most accurate info I found on black seed, also called black cumin, Nigella sativa seed, and kalonji. Hope the following info will be useful to those who like to learn more on that. The prophet (peace be upon him) was right about introducing natural remedies into one’s diet. We are all back to the roots, right? Salam.
History of Black Seed
The Black Seed is believed to have originated in the Mediterranean. Its growth has spread over the years throughout northern Africa, eastern Asia, and southern Europe. In the past few decades, Black Seed found its way into Eastern Europe and North America. The plant is cultivated worldwide for its medicinal and culinary uses. The Black Seed is sensitive to climate and soil condition so its production thrives primarily throughout the Middle East and the Mediteranean Basin which includes India, Bangladesh, Egypt, Sudan, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan.
In biblical times, Black Seed was often used to spice breads and cakes, and throughout Europe over the centuries baked goods were spiced with Black Seed in combination with cumin or coriander.
Black Seed has a long history as a diversely beneficial herb. For over three thousand years, people have utilized the Black Seed to cure numerous ailments and to maintain and improve general health. The earliest usage of Black Seed is traced back to the Assyrians in ancient Egypt. The Assyrians called Black Seed tin tir and took it orally to cure stomach problems. They also used it externally for the treatment of eyes, nose, mouth, and inflammations of the skin such as rashes, bites, and sores.
In Egyptian society, the people used the oil externally to nourish the skin. It was also used extensively as a digestive aid. The oil was a treasured part of daily Egyptian life.
The Persian physician, Ibn Sina, commonly known in the West of Avicenna, gave ample credit to the healing properties of Black Seed. Ibn Sina produced ‘The Book of Healing, which is considered a hallmark in the history of human medicine and the largest volume ever produced by a single person. Ibn Sina praised Black Seed for its preventative and restorative qualities. In his writings he stated that Black Seed stimulates the body’s energy and helps recovery from fatigue or dispirtedness. Ibn Sani also recommended the Black Seed as a remedy for fever, headache, toothache, and common colds; as a soothing agent for skin disorders, wounds and external irritations; and as an anti-fungal and vermicide against parasites and worms.
In the East the Black Seed spread into India where it was used medically to treat digestive ailments and gastrointestinal dysfunction. It was also considred a metabolic enhancer. Ayurveda, a common medical practice in India which means the science of life, prevention and longevity utilizes Black Seed for its ability to heal nervous disorders, anorexia, and gynecological problems. It is also used to heighten mood, stimulate metabolism, and provide the harmonizing benefits of an overall body tonic. Ayurvedic medicine is an approach to wellness based on creating and maintaining an overall balance of energies and biological systems within the organism.
