Allah Stories Proofs Health Sharia

Prophetic Medicine

Prophetic Medicine (Ṭibb an-Nabawī)

Prophetic Medicine refers to the medical practices and health guidance found in the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace

be upon him). This divinely inspired approach to health encompasses both physical and spiritual well-being.

Key Principles

1. Prevention is Better than Cure

The Prophet (ﷺ) emphasized:

> "There is no disease that Allah has created, except that He also has created its cure." *(Bukhari)*

2. Moderation in Eating

> "A human being fills no worse vessel than his stomach. It is sufficient for a human being to eat a few mouthfuls to

> keep his spine straight. But if he must (fill it), then one third of food, one third for drink and one third for air."

*(Tirmidhi)*

3. Natural Remedies

The Prophet (ﷺ) recommended various natural remedies:

**Honey**: "Honey is a healing for every disease" *(Bukhari)*

**Black Seed (Habbatus Sauda)**: "In black seed there is healing for every disease except death" *(Bukhari)*

**Dates**: Recommended for breaking fast and general nutrition
