FOREWORD
Hijama is the sunnah of the Prophet ~ and a most effective
treatment.
• The Prophet ~ himself was treated with Hijama and
encouraged others to do so.
• Imam Bukhari ~ has allocated five chapters to Hijama in
his Sahih (which is the most authentic collection of hadith).
• When the Prophet ~ ascended to the heavens (i.e.mairaj)
the angels told him to tell his ummah to practice Hijama.
• Hijama is an ancient and most beneficial mode of treatment.
It is beneficial in both hot and cold regions. It is a national
mode of treatment in China and is popular throughout the
country.
• Besides arab countries, it is prevalent in countries of south-
east Asia as well.
• Students studying alternative medicine in universities of U.S.A.
and Europe are also taught Hijama. Every doctor, whether
male or female should practice it. However, it should be
learned from an experienced practitioner.
• It has become manifest worldwide to physicians and patients
that the customary forms of treatment in hospitals and clinics
are not satisfactory because of the enormous side effects of
drugs.
• For instance in America alone 15,000 patients die monthly
from the priscriptions of MD doctors.
• If we consider the immortality worldwide it would reach
hundreds of thousands.
• For these reasons humanity is by the Grace of Allah ~
turning towards natural forms of therapy like herbal medicine,
hijama (cupping) & homeopathic medicine.
• These forms of therapy have relatively very few side effects
and are much cheaper.

Foreword
In this booklet we have described:

,
► The objective of the practice of medicine, the rewards
of illness and the virtues of caring for the sick.
► The basic principles of acquiring spiritual and
physical health in the light of Quran and Hadith, in
particular salaat and the means of acquiring peace
and tranquility and closeness to Allah.
► Some advise on diet and exercise in the light of
Quran and Hadith.
► Finally, we want to introduce Hijama, beginning with authentic
Ahadith on the subject. The practical details of the procedure
have also been dealt with. Diseases which can be treated with
Hijama have been mentioned though, in fact, it covers the
whole field of medicine.
In the end, the points where Hijama should be done,
with respect to various diseases have been illustrated
by means of diagrams.
► The method is very simple and easy and can be learned in an
hour.
► Alhamdulillah, Hijama is being practiced on millions of
patients, world over, with at times unbelievably remarkable
results on many untreatable diseases and that even so without
any side effects. Years of practical experience has indeed
confirmed what Rasoolullah ~ said that it is the best of all
forms of treatment.
I humbly request every physician should keep in his study
two books:
1. Prophetic medicine by Imam ibn Qayyam- Darrussalam
publishers.
2. Prophetic medicine by Imam Suyuti- Taha publishers
London.

Abu Hurairah f& narrates that the Prophet ~ said: Allah ~
will say on the Day of judgment, "O son of Adam! I was sick
but you did not visit me." He will reply, "O Allah! How could I
have visited you when you are the Lord of the Worlds. Allah will
say, "Didn' t you know that my slave so and so was ill but you
did not visit him. Didn' you know that if you had visited him you
would have found me with him."
"O son of Adam! I asked you for food but you did not feed me."
He will reply, "O my Lord! How could I have fed you when you
are the Lord of the Worlds." Allah ~ will say, "Didn't you know
that my slave so and so asked you for food but you did not feed
him. Had you fed him you would have found its reward with
me." ·
"O son of Adam! I asked you for water but You did not quench
my thirst." He will reply, "O my Lord! How could I have quenched

Your thirst when you are the Lord of the Worlds." Allah ~ will
say, "My slave so and so asked you for water, however, you did
not give him water to drink. Had you quenched his thirst you
would have found its reward with me."
Scholars say that the one who feeds the hungry person and
quenches the thirst of a thirsty person will find his reward with
Allah *
whereas, the one who visits the sick person will find
Allah *Himself. There can be no greater reward.
A doctor before seeing his patients should first turn to Allah

* and seek His guidance and should recite once
(® ~ \ ~JJT ~t ~~T:~~~ ~ ~bij ~ ~ ~) and
.t~ ~ :: .~ 1.\\;(

This I learnt from Dr Abdul Hai

twice or thrice before examining the patient.
Visiting the sick person or taking care of him is an

act of worship.

Anas Bin Malik 1& narrates that the Prophet ~ said that:
"Whosoever makes wudhu thoroughly before visiting the sick, hoping to find
its reward with Allah ~ - will be distanced seventy years from Hell".
Wudhu has been prescribed in Shariah only before acts

of worship like performing salaat, reciting the Quran or doing
tawaaf. It has not been prescribed for any other act except visiting
or tending a sick person. That is why if a doctor does not feel close
to Allah *. after treating his patients, this worship of his is far
from perfect. There is either some fault in his niyyah, his intention
m
Sinccnty For the Sick
being to make money or he has violated some injunctions of

Shariah such as not lowering his gaze while examining a female
patient or he has not made the intention of seeking nearness of
Allah ~ .Therefore, he should try to find out the cause of this
deprivation. It is essential for a doctor that he comes close to
Allah ~ - through treating the patients and if he does not find
Allah ®-. he bas, in fact, gained nothing.
Sincerity For the Sick
The purpose and wisdom behind disease is that human
beings turn to Allah ~ -Allah ~ - says in the Quran.
(® 0~;. ~;:i ~'11y1Ll10J~ ~;~1 y1Ll1::; rt-a1:i.Dj)

"We shall make them taste of the lesser punishment before the
greater punishment so that they tum to Us."
It is narrated from 'Abdullah bin Abbas #1~ that the lesser
punishment consists of worldly diseases and trails with which
we are afflicted.
A sick person's heart is tender and receptive. If he comes
to a doctor in this state, the first and most important thing that a
doctor should do is to make him turn towards Allah ®-, for
example, ifhe is not offering salaat, he should exhort him to pray,
if he is not devoting time for tableegh he should convince him
to do so and to repent from his sins. If his means of livelihood
are haraam like taking bribes or working in a Bank or an Insurance
company or the like, he should be politely advised to give these
up. These patients invariably live in tension and depression which
destroys their physical health apart from blackening their hearts.
His family life is also without peace and his dua is not accepted.
He should be advised to do istighfaar until he finds a halaal means
of livelihood.

The Reward of Illness and Virtues ofVisitmg. Consoling and Tending a Sick Person
The Reward of Illness and Virtues of Visiting,

Consoling and Tending a Sick Person
Visiting and consoling the sick and tending them is one of the
exalted virtues and is one of the most highly recommended acts
of devotion. The Prophet ~f encouraged it in a number of ways
and it was a practice with the Prophet M~ to visit the sick and
to console them and to alleviate their grief. He ~~ used to do
dhikr of Allah ~ ' recite the Holy Quran and blow upon them,
exhorting others to do so as well.
In urdu the word .,:.,,I( means to visit an ailing relative or
acquaintance and to sit with them for a while and console them.
While in Arabic it has a more extensive application. Whatever
the doctor or the nurse does for the patient comes under
.,:.,,I( Therefore, it is important for a doctor to keep all these virtues
in mind while examining the patient. The following are some of
the Ahadith which have been narrated in this context:

Abdullah bin 'Umar ?it narrates that: "We were sitting with the Prophet~ ,
when a man from among the Ansaar came and greeted the Prophet ~ and
turned to go back. The Prophet M:f asked him: 'O Ansaari brother! How is my
brother Sa'ad bin 'Ubadah?' He said: 'He is well. 'The Prophet ~ asked:
'who from among you

I he Reward of Illness and Virtues ofVi,1t111g. Consoling <1nd T~nd111g a Sick Person
will visit him?' The Prophet ~ stood up saying this and we also stood up
along with him. We were more than ten and we had neither shoes nor headgear
nor shirts. We reached Sa'ad fit treading a stony path. The people of his
community with him stepped away and the Prophet rW' and the companions
"'o; with him went close to him".
This is the portrayal of the lives of the Companions. This was the extreme
simplicity and hardship with which they conveyed Deen to us. In actual fact,
these are also the principles of good health.

Good health is a great blessing from Allah ®.-. It is quoted in a

There are two blessings which many people do not value as they should be
valued and suffer because of it: health and free time."
Some rules regarding the importance of preserving health in
the light of the Quran and Sunnah are mentioned below:
1.True Life Consists in Obeying Allah~ and His messenger:
Allah ®.-says in the Holy Quran:
t:£ J _,,, ) 0 .# 0 ~JI ,-;.
.t
, ,:6 M:::C.\.:l:Sl.c~l~IJ

~ _,'_r"fiJ_, - - ~ ~ I);_, ~ M
(Y t:Jl.,i;~I)
"O you who believe! Respond to the call of Allah ~ and His Messenger ~
when he calls you to that which give life".
Hafiz bin Qayyim~ has explained this verse in
the following words:
This verse touches on several matters, one being that a truly
beneficial life consists in obeying Allah ~ and His Messenger
Mr. Hence, the one who is deprived of this quality is as if not
alive in the true sense of the word, although he enjoys physical
life like that of the lower animals. Yet, he is deprived of the true
life which is the result of Faith and practical submission to the
commands of Allah ®.- and His Messenger . This verse would
then mean that those who submit to the will of Allah ®.- and His
Messenger ~ have attained eternal life and will continue to live
even after they die and those who do not submit to the commands
ofAllah ~ and His Messenger ~are actually dead even if they
m
The Basic Rules of Health m the Light ofQuran and Hadith
appear to be living. Therefore, the more one submits to the will

of Allah ~ and His Prophet MJ-the more perfect is one's life
while a person lacking in obedience and submission will have
aweak sort of existence that is to say that truly healthy life is not
possible without obedience.
2.The only Cure for the Suffering Humanity:
Allah's immutable law for mankind has been stated in the
following verse:
"Verily, the hearts find solace in the remembrance of Allah ~ -"

The man's heart and soul is what keeps him alive and the
heart can only find true peace and comfort in the remembrance
of Allah ~ .There are of course, material means of comfort but
comfort acquired by such means ends as soon as these material
props are removed.
The highest form of dhikr is salaat. Allah ~ Says:
<' t :~) <®cs}~ ~_;.1 ~r ~b>

"And establish prayer for My remembrance."
It is unfortunate that only five percent of today' s Muslims
offer their prayers, and of these, there are very few who offer it
in accordance to the Sunnah. That is why humanity is weighed
down by suffering and anxiety because of which people are
suffering from tension, depression and insomnia. Islam prescribes
a complete and everlasting cure for this which is that one should
live one's life according to the commandments of Allah ~ -
The greatest commandment of Allah is prayer which is the
believer's spiritual ascent to Allah ~ and a pillar of faith.
The first and foremost purpose of man's life is to obey the
commands of Allah ~ , the second being to convey these
commands to the rest of mankind.

3-The Means of Acquiring Contentment of the Heart:

Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim ~ mentions the sources of contentment
of the heart in Zaad-ul-M'aad:
First Source:
The greatest source of peace and contentment of the heart is
tawheed (belief in the unity of Allah ~).
The more the exalted the belief the greater will be the peace and
tranquility generated by it.
<"" :r}> ( <.~3 ~ ]; jc ~ /:·~ .,~)~ iu1 t__r1 ~1)

"Can the one whose heart Allah ~ has opened for Islam so he has entered
into the Noor of his Lord (be like the hardened of heart.)
And Allah ~ says in the Quran:

"He whom Allah ~ wishes to guide, he opens his breast for Islam and he
whom he wished to lead astray he makes his chest narrow and constricted like
the one ascending towards the sky."
Therefore, the greatest source of peace and tranquility of the

heart are tawheed and guidance and the greatest source of its
restlessness and anxiety is shirk and deviation (from the true faith).
The second Source:
One of the sources of peace and tranquility of the heart is the
light which Allah ~ pours on the hearts of his slaves. This is the
light of Imaan which opens up the heart of the slave and fills it
with happiness. In the absence of this light, the heart becomes
narrow and constricted as if it were in some dark dungeon.
Tirmidhi narrates:

"The Prophet ~ said: 'When the light enters the heart, the heart opens and
expands. The Sahaba &i&asked: 'What is the sign of the light having entered
the heart?' He ~ replied: 'Longing for the abode of eternity (i.e. Jannah),
shunning the abode of delusion (i.e. Dunya) and preparing for death before
it descends."
The Third Source:

Knowledge is also a source of attaining contentment of heart.
The deeper the knowledge of a person the more spacious will his
heart be to accommodate the happiness that will fill it. In sharp
contrast to such a person is the ignorant whose restlessness of
the heart creates a sense of confinement as though he was in
pnson.
As knowledge increases, peace and tranquility increase along
with it. This is a blessing which is not granted with any kind of
knowledge, but is specific to the knowledge transmitted from the
Prophet ~ because that is truly beneficial. Those who have been
granted it, are the most tranquil of people, the most gentle and
fore-bearing and the ones with the most exalted character and the
purest of lives.
The Fourth Source:

One of the sources of tranquility of heart is to turn to Allah ~
trusting in Him, delegating every matter to Him, serving Him
with true devotion and deriving pleasure from His worship. There
is nothing which opens up the heart more than this. Those close
to Allah ~ say that if we were to be kept in Paradise in the same
m
The Basic Rules of l lealth 111 the Light ol Quran and l ladlth
state that we have attained in dunya we would have asked for

nothing more. As compared to that the greatest source of grief,
anxiety and constriction of the heart is being influenced by
creation, heedlessness in the remembrance of Allah ~ and
inordinate attachment to the created things. This attachment is a
torment for the soul and a source of anxiety and worry.
In actual fact, there are two kinds of love, there is that love which
gives one a taste of the joy of Paradise in dunya and is a bliss for
the soul, a source of delight for the heart and nourishment and
cure for the spirit.
The other kind of love is that which is a torment for the soul,
and a source of worry, anxiety and constriction of the heart. This
is the love for created beings which becomes a source of violating
Allah's commandments when it supersedes the love of Allah ~ .
The Fifth Source:
Perpetual remembrance of Allah ~ at all times and in every
state is a source of tranquility of the heart. The Dhikr of Allah
~ has a strange effect in bringing about peace and contentment
of the heart. Just as heedlessness in dhikr also has a strange effect
in producing worry and anxiety.
The Sixth Source:
Benefitting others is another source of peace and happiness
whether it is physical benefit or financial benefit because a
benevolent person who gives generously leads a contented and
happy life. Whereas a mean, miserly person leads an anxious life
full of pain and worry.
The Prophet ~ has given the example of a miser and a
generous person in the following words.

The lhs1c Rules of I leaIth 111 the Light of Quran and lladith
"The example of a miser and generous person is like that of two people
wearing armours of iron. Whenever the generous person intends to make some
sadaqah his armour loosens and expands to the extent that he appears to drag
it behind him wiping out the traces of his footsteps as he walks ahead. On the
other hand whenever the miser decides to give something in charity every
link of his armour remains tightly fixed so that the armour does not expand".
This parable demonstrates that charity of a miser which is given

most reluctantly does not remove the constriction of his heart and
is therefore not a source of peace and contentment for him.
The Seventh Source:
Courage also expands the heart and makes it happy, tender and
receptive. Whereas cowardice constricts and narrows the heart
so that a coward becomes incapable of experiencing pleasure and
delight. He is like an animal dead to the sensations of the soul.
Therefore, he is deprived of the joys of the soul. Similarly, the
miser who is heedless of the remembrance of Allah ~ , ignorant
of His names and attributes, deprived of blessings of Deen can
never experience true happiness. On the other hand, a person who
is close to Allah ~ . his heart is filled with the remembrance of
Allah ~ and is illumined by the light of m'arifah. Such a person
experiences spiritual delight in this world which is transformed
for him into the gardens of Paradise in his grave until he reaches
Paradise itself to enjoy eternal bliss and blessings.
Whereas, the person who is heedless of the remembrance of
Allah ~ , attached to other than Allah ~ such a person leads a
wretched life and his grave becomes narrow and confined for
him like a prison cell. Sometimes acts of disobedience of Allah
~ can provide temporary enjoyment and comfort but this ends
as soon as the material source of comfort is removed. In contrast
to this the contentment and tranquility derived from obedience
to Allah ~ is everlasting.
m
l he 13as1c Ruk, of I lcalth rn the Light ofQu1a11 and I ladith
The Eight Source:

One of the basic sources of peace and contentment of the
heart is to cleanse the heart of bad character traits ( such as love
of worldly goods, jealousy, rancour, hatred, suspicion, arrogance
and any disobedience). These are all diseases of the heart which
prevent it from being cleansed and purified. Amongst these bad
character traits are to gaze, speak and mix with people more than
is necessary, eating and drinking too much. When the aforesaid
traits exceed a certain limit, they can become a source of worry
and anxiety and can involve a person in dire trails in this world
and in the Hereafter too.
How unfortunate is the person who is involved in trials and
tribulations because of his own excesses so that the quality of his
life deteriorates day by day. These evil traits will not only ruin
a person's life in this world but also will become a torment for
him in the Hereafter as described in the Quran.
(\ t :_)lhl;~I) ( ® ~ ~ j~I 0G)
"Undoubtfully, the sinners shall be in blazing Fire".
Whereas, a person endowed with good character traits and
blessed with magnanimity of the spirit, enjoys a peaceful and
pleasurable life in this world and will enjoy the Everlasting peace
and happiness in the Abode of Eternity, that is true Success as
described by the Quran.
<,, :_)lb;~\) ( © ~.:~; J} _) \;.~I 0l)
"Verily, they righteous will be in delight" .
None other besides Allah ~ . knows the difference in degrees
of the sinner and the righteous.
The crux of the matter is that the Prophet rfM-possessed in the
most exalted degree, all the noble traits which are the means of
attaining peace and tranquilty of the heart, magnanimity of the
spirit and coolness of the eyes. The more a person follows and
emulates the Prophet rfM- , the more will he be blessed with peace
and tranquility of the heart and happiness.

Salaat is the coolness of the eyes of true lovers of Allah ~ '

m
The Basic Rules of Health in the Light of Quran and Had1th
the heart's delight of devout believers, the touchstone of the states

of the truthful and gauge of the followers of the spiritual path
And this is Allah's Mercy and Guidance for His believing
slaves. Allah ~ guided them to it as a great honour and mercy
by so drawing near to Him, and not because of any need He has
for their worship. Rather, it is a special bounty from Him and a
favour He confers upon them, whereby their hearts and limbs can
devote themselves to the worship of Allah ~ . The heart which
is illuminated with the knowledge ofAllah ~ derives the greatest
benefit from Salaat, namely, drawing close to Allah ~ and
experiencing the incredible sweetness of His Nearness and Love.
It experiences the delight of standing before Him, bowing before
Him, till the glorious climax of salaat, when the slave falls to the
ground in the prostration.
Salaat is Allah's Banquet and a Shower of Blessings from him:
Since Allah ~ tests His slaves with desires and temptations,
outward and inward, His infinite Mercy and Generosity also
increases that a beautiful, rich and colourful banquet be prepared
for His slave, comprising of all kinds of delicacies, in addition
to robes of honour and exquisite gifts. He invites all to this banquet
five times daily and He places in each delicacy of that magnificent
banquet, an individual taste, benefit and dignity which cannot be
found in any other delicacy. So the slave, who has been invited
to this banquet, may fully experience the delight of each delicacy
of that banquet of devotion and Allah ~ may honour him in
every conceivable way. Each state in this deed of worship cleanses
the slave of impurities, confers upon him a distinctive radiance,
for salaat is an illumination and a source of spiritual strength
in the heart and body, moreover this salaat will be the means of
bestowing upon the slave, a special radiance and a reward on the
Day of Judgment.
(Secrets of Salaat-Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim ~ )
Concentration in salaat is the most important thing.
It is mentioned in a hadith of the Prophet: ~

"When you offer your salaat do not let your attention wounder, for verily,
Allah ~ faces his slave directly in salaat as long as the slaves attention is not
diverted."
That is in salaat he does not look here and there.
The Prophet ~ addressed this problem in a hadith in which he
told 'Aisha @\?, to remove the curtain from her chamber which
had figures of birds printed on it. The Prophet said:
"O ' Aisha B ! Remove this from here, whenever I look at it, it
reminds me of dunya."
One can remove this type of physical distraction by praying
on a white sheet and in front of a wall, so that the mind is not
distracted by the colourful designs of the prayer mat and other
material objects in the room.
The other kind of distraction is because of one's inner thoughts
whch is more difficult to deal with. One way of ridding oneself
of this kind of distraction is to concentrate on the words being
recited during salaat and to remind onself constantly that I am
seeing Allah ~ or that Allah ~ is seeing me. This is what has
been enjoined upon us:

The Basic Rules of I lea Ith in the Light of Qui an and Had1th
One of the sahabah whose name is uthman bin Abi Al-Aas (may Allah be
pleased with him) came complaining to the prophet (peace be upon him) and
said: The shaitan comes between me and my salaat, and cause me problems
with my recitation so the Massenger of Allah ~ . (peace be upon him) said:
'that is a sbaitan called khinzab' so if you feel his presence seek refuge in
Allah 3-, and blow a mist to your left three times. He said: I applied this
advise and Allah ~ . rid me off him.
Spit softly meaning there by, blowing a minute amount of
saliva and taking care not to disturb the person next to him.
Mufti Taqi Usmani quotes from Imam Nawawi's explanation
of this hadith that it is desirable to seek the refuge from shaitan
by spitting to the left thrice. (Takmilat Fathul-Mulhim).
Beside this it is important that one should work on cleansing
purifying one's heart of base desires and attachment to other than
Allah ~ and shun bad traits. An essential prerequisite for
concentration in salaat is that one's attention should be focused
exclusively on Allah *.

"He has indeed achieved success who purifies himself and mentions the
name of his Lord and prayers. But you prefer the life of this world although
the Hereafter is far better and everlasting."
A person whose salaat is devoid of.the remembrance ofAllah
* and meeting with Him and who is constantly preoccupied with
his own thoughts during salaat, such a person can never find
peace.
That is why many people who observe the outward form of
prayer are a prey to tension, anxiety and depression and often
suffer from insomnia. If these people had offered prayer as it
ought to be offered (instead of merely observing its outward
form), they would have surely gained inner peace and satisfaction.
Hafiz Ibn Taymiyah ~ says:
m
The 13as1c Ru ks of I lea Ith in the I.1ght of Qui an and Il,1d1th
"If you offer salaat and do not gain peace and contentment of the
heart through it, then you have only to blame yourself. Because
Allah ~ is most Appreciative of his slaves' efforts, if his actions
are sound (inoutward form and spirit) he will inevitably get his
reward from Allah ~ immediately.
Wudhu:
Wudhu is a cost-free and almost effortless way of refreshing
and rejuvenating the body and spirit. If you think about it, there
is no medicine or food which provides the same degree of :freshness
and vitality in such a short time. These are the beneficial effects
of wudhu in dunya, in the Hereafter it will be a forgiveness for
one's sins and will lead to exalting one's station in Paradise. It
is narrated in a hadith that the Prophet ~ asked Bilal ~ at the
time of Fajr prayer:
"Bilal! Tell me about an act of yours, after you accepted Islam
for which you hope to get the most reward, for I heard your
footsteps ahead of me in Jannah last night in a dream." Bilal ~
replied: "The act about which I am most hopeful is that whenever
I have performed wudhu, whether in the day or at night, I have
offered the prayer of tahiyyatul-wudhu as many rak'aat that Allah
~ gave me tawfeeq to offer. (Bukhari)
Allah ~ has no need for our acts of worship with which we
increase in reward and degree of closeness to Him. It is nothing
but a sign of His immeasurable love for the believers.

Istinshaaq ( drawing water into the nose) and Istinsaar

(blowing it out of the nose):
Taking water into the nose (Istinshaaq) with the right hand
and blowing it out of it (Istinsaar), with the left hand are an
effective cure for and preventive against respiratory diseases.
Generally, people fall ill with diseases like cold and influenza.
Especially during winters every year On a national scale large
sums of money are spent along with all the side effects.
Medicine has been trying in vain since thousands of years to
come up with effective cures and prevention against such diseases.
Allah ~ . is the Creator of the human body and He alone is
aware of its working and its complexities. That is why Allah ~ .
m
The Basic Rules of IleaIth in the Light of Quran and Had1th
prescribed cleansing of the nasal air passages and sinuses through

istinshaaq and istinsaar as a prevention against these ailments of
the upper respiratory system and sinuses. However, very few
people perform istinshaaq and istinsaar in the proper manner
prescribed in the Sunnah. It is mentioned in a narration by Bukhari
that the way to do istinshaaq is that to take a handful of water
after doing miswaak and drawing half of it into the mouth and
the other half up into the nose (with some force, water drawn up
into the nose should reach upto the soft bone, that is why it is
important that istinshaaq should be performed with force. If it is
performed in the correct manner, the water will come down to
the throat after passing through the nose.)
It is mentioned in a hadith that except while fasting, istinshaaq
should be performed thoroughly. Allah ~ has lined the respiratory
passages with tiny hairs known as cilia. These are in constant
motion so 1i1at the air passages should remain free of phlegm,
germs, viruses and dust. Doing istinshaaq in the correct manner
is most refreshing and stimulating:
If istinshaaq is done five times a day in the correct manner
there will be no need to clean the nose by poking one's finger
into it. Leaming istinshaaq may take a few days but its benefit
will last through the life, Insha Allah, because it will serve as a
prevention against the respiratory diseases. Proper istinshaaq
provides oxygen to the brain and other organs, thereby helping
to rejuvenate the body.
Since most Muslims today are unaware of these facts, they
are therefore , deprived o f the benefit s of wudhu.
The Fardh Acts of Salaat and the number of Recitations
ofTasbeeh:
The ProphetrfAf,enjoined upon the Ummah to pray exactly as
he prayed:
"Pray as you see me pray"
m
I he Has1c Rules or I lea Ith 111 1hc I 1ght or Quran and I ladith
Only the Companions ?& of the Prophet ~ were the ones
who actually saw in minute detail how the Prophet ~ performed
salaat. Therefore, we should seek recourse to the authentic ahadith
narrated from them relating to the method of offering salaat.
Sahih Bukhari narrates.
(Y- ~G e~ ISµ ,;;~j ~ ~\ t_}~ c)f :Jij !,~\ J;-

•!,l_,..:JI (Y- ~} ~~\ ~j t})I
(A.\ :~_; <(,S}-"•-,JI ~ )
"Baraa ~ narrates that the ruku 'of the Prophet Mir, his sajdahs, his qaumah
(i.e. rising from the ruku' and standing erect) and his jalsah (i.e. sitting between
the two sajdahs) were all approximately of the same time duration".
Imam Abu Dawood ~ has mentioned in his Sunan

in a chapter bearing the heading: 'Number of recitations
of ruku and sajdah' that Anas narrated after having offering his
prayer behind 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz ~ that: "After the death
of the Prophet , I have not prayed behind anyone whose prayer
is more similar to the prayer of the Prophet , then this young man
(i.e."Umar bin ' Abdul 'Aziz ~ "The narrator says that we
estimated the number of recitations of tasbeeh in ruku'
and sajdah and found them to be ten. In another sahih hadith it
has been mentioned that this should be an odd number so we can
make 11 tasbeehs.
Apart from the tasbeeh of ruku and sajdah, a lot of duas have
been transmitted from the Prophet ~ -
The sajdah is the position in which one is closest to Allah ~ -
Quran:
"And prostrate yourself and draw near."

The Prophet ~ said that the slave is closest to his Lord in
the sajdah of salaat, that is ~hy he ~ exhorted the Ummah to
especially make dua in the state of sajdah saying:
"Dua made in the state of sajdah is more likely to be accepted".
m
rhc Ba,1c Rules of Health 111 thr Light ofQur,111 and lladilh
Dua is accepted in one of two ways; the supplicant

is either granted what he prays for, or is given the
reward for his dua.
Qaumah and jalsah are important acts of salaat. The Companions
rt165' of the Prophet~ narrate that the Prophet ~ used to prolong
the "quoma" i.e the standing up after ruku. at times to
the extent that we would think that he ~ had forgotten the sajdah.
Similarly, he~ would sometimes prolong the jalsah to the extent
that we would think that he had forgotten the second sajdah. It
is also narrated in hadith that when one rises from ruku to the
qaumah position, the back should be absolutely straight. Similarly,
during the jalsah between the two sajdahs one should sit absolutely
erect. (This can help cure backaches provided one makes 11
recitations of tasbeeh both in qaumah and jalsah).
There are many duas for the qaumah and jalsa narrated in
hadith. If it is not possible to memorize these, then one can recite
tl1JJ 11 times in qaumah This is narrated by Abu Dawood ~ .
Similarly, one can recite~l._~lyjduring jalsah if one does not
remember other sunnah duas. For instance, one can repeat 11
times in qaumah and 11 times in jalsah so that the time period of
qaumah and jalsah comes close to the time period of ruku and
sajdah as mentioned in the hadith of Bukhari. It is noteworthy to
mention that most people in our country including imams of
masjids are negligent in performing qaumah and jalsah properly,
thus depriving themselves of many of the physical and ' piritual
benefits of salaat. A number of other duas have been mentioned
in hadith books which can be used.
Salaat has innumerable spiritual and medical benefits. When
performed according to the sunnah, and with complete
concentration, it becomes a means of spiritual purification and
closeness to Allah ~ It is mentioned in a hadith that there are
360 joints in the human body. Uptill 1995 experts had discovered
340 joints. In 1995 they discovered that there are 10 joints in
each ear between the three small bones in each Thus making a
m
The B.is1c Rules of Health 111 the Light of Quran and I lad Ith
total of 360 joints. in the human body Nothing that the Prophet
~ said about any matter related to this world or the Hereafter
can ever be incorrect, even if the truth about it is discovered
thousand of years later.
The Prophet ,W.r exhorted the ummah to offer the two
rak' aat of the Doha prayer as an expression of gratitude to
Allah ~ for the 360 joints of the body. Thus these two rakaats
becomes a means of exercising these joints as well as gaining
immense reward in the Hereafter. Allah ~ in His infinite mercy
has made salaat obligatory on His slaves for its spiritual and
physiological benefits which are beyond human comprehension.
m
The Basic Rules oflkalth 111 the Light ofQuran and lladllh
Given below are the benefits of salaat enumerated by

Imam Ibn ul Qayyim ~ :
1. Salaat increases provision.
2. Protects health.
3. Alleviates all kinds of suffering.
4. Protects against diseases.
5. Strengthens the heart.
6. Makes the face radiant.
7. Soothes the spirit.
8. Does away with laziness.
9. Makes the limbs active.
10. Provides physical strength.
11. Expands the chest. (Meaning thereby gives a person a
better understanding and capacity to deal with his
problems.)
12. Nourishes the soul.
13. Enlightens the heart.
14. Preserves blessings.
15. Wards off the wrath of Allah ~
16. Brings barakah.
17. Dispels Shaitan.
18. Brings the slave close to Allah ~, Most Merciful.
Salaat plays a vital role in strengthening the body and spirit.
This becomes very apparent in times of serious illness and trials
when we compare the attitude of the person who prays regularly
in congregation as compared to the person who is negligent of
his salaat.
El
The Basic Rules of I lea Ith Ill the Light of' Quran and Had1th
The person regular with his prayer will inevitably emerge successful
from yvery trial. Salaat is very effective in dispelling worries and
anxiety especially when performed in the prescribed manner and
spirit. Thus, it can be said that salaat is the only thing which
provides protection against all worldly ills and afflictions as well
as the torment in the Hereafter. It is also the most effective means
of acquiring all kinds of benefits of this world and the Hereafter.
The secret behind this is that salaat is what connects the slave
to his Lord. The closer he is to Allah ~ , the more will he benefit
from the bounties and blessings of Dunya and Akhirah and be
protected from all kind of evil and corruption. There will be
outpouring of Grace from Allah ~ and he will enjoy health, well
being, prosperity, contentment and happiness.
4. The Tahajjud Prayer is one of the Secrets of Good Health:
The tahajjud prayer is an effective means of improving the
health. The person who offers tahajjud prayer feels inner bliss
and radiance which remains with him all day long. No medicine
or tonic can ever produce this sensation. The tahajjud prayer heals
and cures physical illnesses as is illustrated by the following

Salman Al-Farsi ~ narrates that the Prophet~ said: "Be steadfast in offering
tahajjud prayer for it was a practice of the pious before you. It is a means of
bringing you close to your Lord, a forgiveness for past sins, protection against
future acts of disobedience and a cure for the physical diseases".
5. Dua:
Bukhari narrates from Abu Hurairah 1& that the Prophet~ said:
"Allah has not created any disease for which He has not sent
down a cure"..
Dua is a most effective medicine against all kinds of diseases
and afflictions. It wards off disease and distress and removes
illness after a person is afflicted by it. Thus, it is a weapon of the
believer as is mentioned clearly in a hadith narrated by 'Ali 1&
that the Prophet ~ said:
"Dua is the weapon of the believer, a pillar of the Faith, and
radiance of the heavens and the earth".
(Mustadrak Hakim)
There are Three Conditions of Dua visa-vis Trials and Troubles.
1. If dua is more powerful than the affliction, it will successfully
ward it off.
2. If dua is weak as compared to affliction, the affliction will
overpower the dua. As a result, the slave suffers due to the
affliction but because of the barakah of dua, though weak, his
suffering is decreased.
m
The Basic Rules of I lcalth 111 the Light of Quran and Hadilh
3. Dua and affliction are of equal strength and stop each other
so occasionally it is accepted and at times not accepted.
'Umar ?& narrates that the Prophet ~ said: "Dua wards off
every trouble and is of great benefit in every difficult situation,
so O slaves of Allah! Adhere firmly to dua. (Hakim-Tirmidhi)
Thauban~ narrates that the Prophet~ said that:
"Dua is the only thing that can change destiny, piety is the
only thing that can increase one's life span and a man may be
deprived of his provisions because of sins committed by him".

6 . The Holy Quran:

Recitation of the Holy Quran is not only an exalted act of
worship, it is also a preventive against and cure for spiritual and
physical diseases.

"O people! There has come to you an exhortation from your Lord and a healing
for what is in the breasts"
The Quran is the cure for all the diseases of the heart and
body. But not everyone can derive healing from it nor is every
one capable of doing so (because this is a Majestic Word and
there are preconditions for deriving benefit from it). However,
if someone is ill and uses the Quran for healing with complete
faith and certitude, believes firmly in it, observes the adaab due
to it, no disease can withstand its power.
What disease can withstand the Power of the Speech of the
Creator of the heavens and the earth! If it were to descend on a
mountain it would be smashed to pieces.
The Quran is a preventive and cure for every physical and
spiritual disease but only he benefits fully from it whom Allah
~ has endowed with an understanding of this book.
7- Remembrance of Allah ~:
Dhikr of Allah ~ is an important means of improving physical
and spiritual health. We mention here a hadith which illustrates
the importance of dhikr.
Abu Musa 1& narrated that the Prophet ~said:
-~ ju :Ju ~ ~y ~r (:j-
~J1_, ~_) j"~ ~J1 ~)) :~ &i-1' ~
(it .y :~j '':SJ\.,:..)\~),((,: ~-j1_, ~\ ~ ~~.1~ '1

"The example ofhe who remembers his Lord and he who does not remember
his Lord is that of the living and the dead." Health depends on life. There can
be no health when there is no life. Therefore, dhikr of Allah ~ protects spiritual
and physical health.

"Fight them! Allah ~ will punish them at your hands and He will lay them

He will remove the rage from their hearts."
Tableegh has many features in common with jihad in the way
of Allah ~ . Like jihad, it is a means of improving health and
dispelling grief and anxiety. Innumerable people have been
restored to spiritual and physical health through tableegh.
9. Dress:
Pure cotton provides comfort and strength to the body and Allah
loves white clothes.
Imam ·shafi ~ has been quoted as saying that four things
strengthen the body: Meat, (but not the farm chicken) perfume,
(oudh amber musk original not chemical) frequent bathing (apart
from ritual purification bath) and wearing cotton clothes. Try it
yourself and you will find it to be true.

Hadith No. (5)
Hadhrat Jahdata Al Jashmi 1& said I saw Rasool Allah ~ pointing
his hands towards the belly of a man and saying if this was
somewhere else it would have been better for you. (Meaning
thereby that obesity and a fat belly are not desirable things.)
Related in Al Mustadrak of Hakim on the condition ofsahiheen.
Hadith No. (6)
Nafe ~ says that Ibn Umar 1& never used to take his meals
unless a poor man was called to eat with him. One day I brought
a poor man to eat with him, the man ate too much, whereupon
lbn Umar ?& said, 0 Nafe ?& ! Don't let this man enter my
house, for I heard the prophet ( ~ ) saying, A believer eats in
one intestine (is satisfied with a little food), and a kafir (unbeliever)
eats in seven intestines (eats much food). Related by Bukhari and
Muslim. Imam Shafi ~ said that I did not fill my stomach up
in the past 16 years except once when I deliberately vomited it
out. This is because eating to a full stomach makes the body
heavy, hardens the heart, decreases intelligence, brings on sleep
and makes the person weak in the worship of Allah ~ - Related

Hadith No. (7)
Urwa f(/, relates that Aisha t#'J,, said to Urwa: 0 son of my sister
we would see three moons one after another in two months and
no fire was burnt in any of the houses of Rasool Allah~ . Urwa

and Water except that there were some neighbours of Rasool
Allah ~ who had some milk giving animals and they would gift
m
Treatment with a Sunnah diet g" es a remarkable and permanent
some milk from their houses and Rasool Allah ~ used to give
the milk to us for drinking. (Saheeh Bukhari.) From this Hadith
I have derived one principle that there should be no food cooked
on fire. Because Rasool Allah ~ used this diet for only two
months, out of caution I only use this diet on patients for 40 days.
That is for 40 days the patient will not eat any bread, or rice, or
meat and nothing from the bakery like biscuits and cakes. No
bottled juices and no soft drinks.
What will the diet be?
All types of uncooked vegetables, like salad, carrots, tomatoes,
reddish and cucumber.
They can eat all fruits without restriction. Apples are in fact
very good as they have few calories and are filling for the stomach
and also lower cholesterol.
They can drink half a glass of milk mixed with half a glass
of water morning and in the evening.
Two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, should be taken
once daily along with salad.
Every day walk for one hour briskly in the morning. If they
have problems of the knee joint they should cycle for one hour
or use an exercise cycle.
If they feel weak they should mix one table spoon honey in
a glass of water and drink it.
If the patient feels giddy or very weak he can mix 2 tablespoons
of Ghee (Butter oil) with Milk and drink it.
If some one would like to drink juices then he should drink
it fresh within half an hour.
If you want to make a milk shake this should also be drunk
within half an hour.
With this diet I have treated all types of patients. Patients with
Heart Disease, Hypertension, patients with depression and all
types of Psychiatric diseases, all types of skins diseases and
allergies. Cancer patients have also benefited.
m
T1catmc111 ,, nh a Sunnah d1c1 gives a , cmark.lblc and pct 111.incnt
For these patients within 3 days I stop all medications.

Those diabetic patients who are on insulin their requirement drops
considerably. Obviously these diabetics should preferably be
controlled by a qualified doctor.
If this diet is used conscientiously as described then I have
not seen any patient who did not benefit.
These patients should not eat with the family but eat alone,
because if one is eating in the company of other people, one then
he/she will not be able to control his/ her hand.
After six weeks this diet should be stopped and the diet
mentioned below should be started.
The average sahaba 1& used to eat twice a day and Rasool
Allah ~ only once.
Their lunch was around 10 to 11 am then they would sleep
(qeloolah) then wake up for Zuhr. Their dinner was after Isha
when Rasool Allah used to distribute guests to eat with them.
Normally I advise patients to eat dinner after maghrib as one
should preferably sleep 2 and half hours after dinner.
Imam Ibn Qayyim 1 says that after dinner one should walk at
least 100 steps.
Because Rasool Allah ~ said 1/3 for food, hence one should
eat one chapati made at home or 2 slices of brown bread. The
best grain to use is barley because it is beneficial for cholesterol,
obesity, and diabetes.
Be used in any form whatsoever chapatis, pasta or biscuits.
Only local forms of wheat should be used (desi gandam) At
present it is difficult to get as farmers grow it only for their
personal usage.
This is because the Per acre yield is 1/3 of the yield ofAmerican
wheat which is unfortunately harmfull for health.
If barley dose not suit him then he should use wheat.
However the wheat available in our countries is American
wheat which is genetically modified and is one of the main causes
of coronary heart disease hence this should never be used in any
form whatsoever.
II
Treatment with a Sunnah <l1ct gives a remarkable and permanent
If barley does not suit you then use wheat. In either case tell
the grinders to only grind once and to keep his gauge thick so
that all the fiber is preserved. Ordinarily the grinders grind twice
which destroys all the fibre.
Aisha t#& says that Rasool Allah~ did not even see a sieve.
After grinding she used to blow on the flour and the big fibres
used to be thrown out but all of the rest of the fibres were left
behind.
Two meals of meat can be taken per week. No cow meat and
no farm chicken. Fish or goat or camel meat or (desi) chicken
should be eaten. Besides this all types of lentils and vegetables.
Olive oil gets bad by cooking.
It should be poured on cooked food. Obese patients should keep
alternating the two diets for six weeks each until the desired
weight is achieved. With very obese patients this may take a few
months.

"Talbeena strengthens the heart of the sick person and does away with his
depression".
Talbeena is a thin mixture of barley flour and water. Harawi
narrates that the word talbeena is derived from 'laban' i.e. Milk
because it resembles milk in whiteness and in its thin flowing
consistency. Talbeena is extremely beneficial for the sick person
provided it is prepared properly and has the consistency of milk.
Talbeena has the same properties as the barley water, in fact, the
Arabs have it in the place of barley water. The difference between
barley water and talbeena is that barley water is made from whole
barley grain while talbeena is made from barley flour. Talbeena
is more beneficial than barley water because the effectiveness
of barley grains is enhanced after grinding. The effect of medicine
and diet have a lot to do with habit. It is a practice of some nations
m
..
Treatment" 1th a Sunnah diet g" cs a rcmark<1bk and pcnnancnt
to cook barley flour rather than barley grain in water. This is far
more nutritious and makes the complexion glow.
The recipe oftalbeena as made by the people of Yemen: 'Mix
a tablespoon of barley flour in a litre of water, add three tablespoons
of sugar to it and bring it to boil. Honey can be used as a sweetener
instead of sugar but it should be added after taking it off the fire.
Let it cook for about five minutes on a low flame after boiling.
When it cools down add a cup of milk to it. Those who are not
able to digest barley flour can use wheat flour. Talbeena should
be taken as per requirement. Healthy people can also use it and
it is equally beneficial for them. It is a pity that we use expensive
products like "Ensure" as food for the sick, although, the prophet
~ recipe is far more beneficial and far less expensive.

Bukhari and Muslim narrate that the Prophet rW-said: "The superiority of
'Aisha ~ over women is like the superiority of thareed over all foods".
The components of thareed are meat and roti. Roti is the most
superior nutrient and meat is the king of all gravies. When they
are both mixed together, the resulting dish is no doubt replete
with nutrition. The Prophet ~ was fond of mutton. Mutton is
the most beneficial meat for everyone and it is certainly better
for the sick. It has 2.6 gm% fat, 63mg% cholesterol and omega
3 oil 147mg%. Therefore, as a doctor. I advise that people 'with
heart problems should have either mutton or fish (but not farm
fish). However, they should not have it more than twice a week.
14. Exercise:
The Prophet ~ is an example for us in all the matters related to
health. He, during the last year of his life undertook the journey
to Tabook, which was thousand kilometers from Madinah. This
journey was undertaken in intense heat, partly on foot and partly
on camel back. The temperature at that time goes up to 50 °C and
no animal except a Camel can survive. The Prophet &iroverpowered
the strongest wrestlers of his time. To acquire health of this quality,
exercise is a must. No man or woman, can dispense with it. The
Prophet ~ used many ways of wisdom to maintain good health.
(refer to Ibn-Al-Qayyim ~ )- Below are ahadith which emphasize
the importance of health:

'Ali bin Rukana ~./, narrates on the authority of his father, Rukana ?& that:
'Once the Prophet ~ had a wrestling match with Rukana fd,' in which the
Prophet ~ overpowered Rukana.'
Rukana ~ was the most powerful wrestler of his time. We

would advise that every person, man or woman should walk at
least one hour a day. The best time for this is morning. Apart
from this, forty minutes should be devoted to exercise such as
yoga, which can be practised by men and women of all ages. It
is very beneficial and a cure for many diseases. Yoga is especially
useful for ulema as in it there is training of the breathing, this is
very useful in recitation of the Qura' n and also in giving lectures
and sermons.
15. Fasting:
Optional fast is also extremely beneficial for the health like the
obligatory fast. Given below is an excerpt from Hafz Ibn-Al
Qayyirn's ~ book 'Prophetic Medicine':
"Fasting is a protection against spiritual and physical diseases.
Its benefits are numerous. For example, it has proved to be most
effective in protecting general health, expelling waste matters
from the body and increasing immunity especially if it is kept
according to the schedule prescribed by the sunnah and the person
fasting is not suffering from a health problem. This is because
fasting gives the internal organs a chance to rest and recuperate.
It also rests and revitalizes the heart. Fasting provides immediate
benefit to such persons.
Fasting is a physical and spiritual cure apart from being an
act of worship. When the person fasting observes the rules of the
fast, his body and heart benefit with immediate effect and all the
poisons festering in their body that are hazardous for the health,
El
Treatment \\ 1th a Sunnah diet gives a remarkable and permanent
start dissipating. Of course, the extent of the benefit depends on

the nature and quality of the fast.
Furthermore, fasting enables the body to protect itself against
everything it should be protected from. In fact, the very nature
of the fast is such that it aids in fulfilling its purpose, which is
to detach the heart from worldly preoccupations and make it turn
to Allah ~ with sincere devotion. The purpose of fast is not
merely abstaining from food and drink, rather it is an act of
worship about which Allah ~ has said in a hadith Qudsi:
"Fasting is exclusively for Me and I shall give the reward for it."
The fast then serves as shield against all the worldly diseases
as well as those of the Hereafter Allah ~ says in the Quran:
-: Jr "-'led \.3 i' \:..all !-1~ -: Jr ~~tc\.,

" Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those

Thus, fasting has a dual purpose, one is to protect against
spiritual and physical diseases for which it is the most effective
regimen, the other is to attach the heart to Allah ~ and devote
the energies of the soul to the love and obedience of Allah ~ .
Given below are a few ahadith which mention particular
days on which fasting is recommended:

Mondays and Thursdays.
16. Sleep:
Sleep in moderation is also essential for good health. Nowadays,
people in general are careless about regulating their sleep schedule.
There are those who sleep too much and those who sleep too
little. Furthermore, people no longer follow the natural pattern
of sleep. Let us take a look at the Prophet's ~ sleep habit.
Hafiz Ibn-Al Qayyim ~ writes:
"The Prophet ~ would sleep in the first part of the night and
remained awake in the later part. Sometimes he ~ would sleep
late when he ~ needed to attend to some need of the Muslim
community. The Prophet's ~ eyes would sleep but his heart
never slept, nor would he ever have to be woken up. He would
wake up himself. While travelling if the caravan camped in the
early hours of the night, he would lie down on his right side as
was his habit. However, if the caravan camped a few hours before
dawn, then the Prophet ~ would prop up his right elbow on the
m
Tn:atmcnt 11 Ilh a Su1111<1h diet gt 1 .:, a n:111a1 kablc and p.:1 ma11c11t
ground and rest on it and sleep, so as to remain alert".

Thus, the Prophet's ~ habit and pattern was to sleep early
and wake up in the middle of the night.
According to doctors, the normal quota of sleep should not exceed
8 hours in the entire day, this amounts to a third of the day. Some
pious people say one should not sleep more than six hours.
17. Avoiding Sins:
Giving up sins and sinful habits is also essential for preserving
health. 'Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak ~ who is the teacher of Imam
Bukhari ~ and one of the great narrators of hadith says:
s!l _~<1
"I saw sins deadening the heart. And persisting in sins brings disgrace (to
the sinner). Giving up sins brings life to the heart. It is far better for your
'Nafs' that you disobey it" .
18. Sadaqah (Charity)

It is narrated in a hadith:
FW,~ \_,j\:;n :~ ~\ j_J.:.,_) J\; :J~ ~ ~\ ;~c :J-
(ioA._ :~.J , ~ c5_r.5jl .:,:-.)1) . ((~.). ~½
'Abdullah narrates that the Prophet ~ said:

"Treat your sick with sadaqah".
According to hadith, sadaqah wards off disasters and disease.
Therefore, sadaqah is the best possible remedy for disasters and
disease. Sheikh 'Abdul Qadir jilani ~ says that charity should
be given early in the morning implying thereby that this will be
a protection for the disasters of the day.

A Summary Of The 13as,c Rules Of I lcalth
A Summary Of The Basic Rules Of Health

1. Offering the five times prayer in congregation. This is the
most important and effective way of preserving physical and
spiritual health. On the one hand it is a spiritual exercise in
which he is advised to worship Allah ~ as If he is seeing
Allah ~ or Allah ~ is seeing him and on the other hand it
1s a physical exercise which involves the whole body.
2. Regularity in offering the tahajjud prayer and reciting the
masnoon duas. The duas transmitted from the Prophet~ are
an invaluable gift to the Muslim Ummah. If they are recited
with their meaning in mind, they can be a means of gaining
closeness to Allah ~ and a great source of happiness.
3. Being particular about sadaqah, for the Prophet~ said:
Treat your sick with sadaqah.'
4. Avoiding overeating.
o~, ; .,. o ,-" o >;
<'"' :0~~1) (~? 'lj ~rG ~j)

"Eat and drink but avoid excess."
This half of a Quranic verse which summarizes the whole of
medicine. According to hadith: "A few small morsels are
enough for the son ofAdam to keep his back straight. If eating
is a must, then a third is for food, a third for water and a third
for breath". One should only eat when hungry, and not eat
one's full but leave a little hunger. Meat should not be consumed
more than twice a week. Vegetables and fruits should suffice
one. People with joint problems and sciatica should avoid
meat, yogurt, banana and rice. The Companions ~ of the
Prophet ~ habitually ate two meals a day, one between 10
and 11 in the morning and the other at night. Rasoolullah
~ ate only once a day.
5. Walking continuously for an hour is also very beneficial for
the health. The ideal time for this is early morning. If this is
not possible, then any other time. Apart from this other
exercises learnt from an expert are also extremely beneficial

Cupping Belief & Bene ills
Cupping Belief & Benefits

It should be noted that the patients complete belief on the
truthfullness of Rasool Allah() Hadith that this is the best form ·
of treatment has a very beneficial effect on the healing he gets.
It is the experience of many practioners that those patients who
have a strong belief, benefit the most.
Basic Rules of Cupping

Generally hijama is done on the site of the disease e.g. If
someone has digestive problems, hijama is done on the stomach.
Similarly, if someone has a kidney problem hijama is done on
the part of the abdomen where the kidneys are located. For liver
patients, hijama is done on the right side of the chest where the
liver is. If someone suffers from headache, the Prophet would
recommend that hijama be done on the head. In many diseases
an additional cup is applied between the shoulders. This is a
sunnah site, known as J(
in Arabic.
m
H1jama Ill the light or Had1th
How Frequent Should Hijama Be Done?

If the patient is not cured by one hijama then hijama may be
repeated from three to seven times with a gap of at least two
weeks to one month between consecutive cuppings. This should
be decided according to the doctor's advice.
(OVA\ :r-i) ,..,._.kl1 <c$Jl,;.,,.!1 •~J)

"Some people with little knowledge may say: What has bijama to do with
black magic? What is the connection between the affliction and the cure?
If such a person were to be told that Socrates and Ibo Seena or some other
renowned Philosopher or Physician has recommended hijama as a cure for
black magic, he would have believed it, (IBN Al-Qayyim ~ goes on to say)
which bijama has been prescribed as a cure for black magic by a person about
whose knowledge and superiority there is no doubt.

Rasool Allah ~ to be cupped, he ~ ordered Abu Taibah ~ to cup her.
The narrator says that he thinks that Abu Taibah ~ washer foster (breastfeeding)
brother or a young boy who had not attained puberty.
In case this is not possible and for this disease only Hijama
is appropriate then in these circumstances the opinion of a
competent Mufti should be taken.
However no Man is permitted to do Hijama by himself on non
mahram Women. Similarly no woman should do Hijama on non
mahramMen.

Materials Needed For Hijama

1. Disposable gloves (to be used only once).
2. Tissue paper. (sterlize gauze).
3. Disposable blade (to be used only once).
4. Cups (used for hijama / glass cups).
m
I he method fo1 drnng H1ja111a
The method for doing Hijama

1. Put on the gloves and clean the area of the skin where hijama
has to be done. Remove the hair on this area with a safety
razor. If there is any hair, the cup will not stick. Put a small
piece of burning tissue paper in the cup and press the cup
firmly on the hijama site. The burning tissue will consume
the oxygen in the cup, thereby creating a vacuum, and the
external pressure will make the cup stick to the body. Because
of the negative internal pressure, the skin inside the glass will
swell up in the shape of a ball and blood will accumulate in
this spot.
2. Let the cup stick for five minutes.
3. On the swollen area of the skin, put light cuts with a blade at
small distances, making sure that the cuts do not cut any blood
vessel.
4. Be extremely careful to avoid touching the cutting edge of
the blade while removing its cover.
5. Once again, put a burning tissue in the cup and stick it on the
hijama site. Because of the pressure created by the vacuum,
blood will gush out of the cuts and accumulate in the cup. Let
the cup remain until the blood starts coagulating, then remove.
6. It is better to do hijama during the days prescribed by the
Sunnah i.e. 17, 19 and 21 of the lunar month.
However, if the need arises it can be done on other days.
7. It is better to perform hijama early in the morning. It must be
done on an empty stomach. It should be noted that stomach
becomes empty four hours after eating solids and one hour
after drinking liquid.
8. After completing Hijama, dispose off the gloves, blade and
glass with caution. Preferably these should be buried in the
ground as per instructions given by the Prophet ~ .
9. The Prophet ~ took a bath after Hijama, hence, this is
recommended. One should avoid eating anything till one hour
after Hijama.
m
P1ccautionary Measures for I ltJama
10. Because the Prophet ~ exhorted the ummah to treat their

sick with sadaqah, therefore those having hijama done should
be advised to give sadaqah after hijama and to offer two
rak' aat nafl, begging Allah ~ to grant them shifa through
hijama and thanking Him for the tawfeeq to act on Sunnah.
Warning:
1. Extreme caution must be exercised in carefully disposing off
the cups used for hijama, to ensure that the cups used for one
person are not used by anyone else, as this can be a means of
transmitting Hepatitis B, C and AIDS viruses.
2. Many kinds of instruments are available for cupping these
days. They can be certainly used. However, one should never
use cups either of glass or plastic on another person. Also
some people use balloons inside the plastic cups. This is very
dangerous as viruses can penetrate the balloons, particularly,
Hepatitis C and Aids viruses. These viruses can penetrate
surgical gloves what to talk of balloons.
3. No amount of boiling can disinfect these cups from Hepatitis
B, C and Aids viruses.
Precautionary Measures for Hij ama

1. Very weak and debilitated persons should not have Hijama
done.
2. Elderly and weak people should be assessed by the physician
before hijama.
3. Dehydrated children should not have Hijama done.
4. People with chronic liver disease should not have Hijama
done except by the permission of the doctor.
5. Women should not have Hijama done after abortion.
6. Hijama should not be done immediately after a bath.
7. Hijama should not be done immediately after vomiting.
8. Patients on dialysis should consult a doctor before Hijama is
done.
m
Precautionary \1casurcs for H1jama
9. Patients with valve transplant should not have Hijama except

under the supervision of a doctor.
10. After Hijama avoid eating for one hour.
11. In case of swollen knees, the cup should not be applied directly
on the swelling, rather a little away from it.
12. If the veins of the foot are swollen, the cup should be applied
well away from the swollen veins with extreme care.
13. Persons suffering from hemophilia and blood disorders in
which blood does not clot, should not have Hijama done.
14. Caution must be taken in cupping patients, with low blood
pressure.
15. Anemic patients should not be subjected to a second Hijama
without making sure of their physical fitness and endurance.
In case the patient faints, he should be given a sweet drink
and hijama instruments should be removed from his body
immediately.
16. If someone is being cupped for the first time, he should be
mentally prepared by making him watch someone being
cupped and by telling him about the benefits of Hijama.
17. Pregnant women should not be cupped during the first trimester
of pregnancy.
18. Before cupping the patient should be asked about the following
diseases: diabetes, heart diseases, liver diseases, cancer,
ligament rupture and swelling in the knees.
19. Women should be cupped by women or a mahram male
relative.
20. Blood donors should wait two to three days before having
hijama done.
21. Patients with psychiatric illness should also be preferably
cupped by doctors.
22. Hijama should not be done on anyone in a state of fright or
panic until they calm down.
23. If anyone has a pace maker, Hijama should not be done on
his heart except by consultation of a doctor.
m
1'1 ecau! 1ona1y Measures for I ilprna .
24. Persons on blood thinners (aspirin, clopidogrel) should not

have Hijama done until they temporarily discontinue these
drugs for a day or two. However, patients on warfarin should
never have Hijama done until their doctor allows them after
checking their A.P. T. T. Time.
25. Diabetic patients should have their sugar tested just before
Hijama. It should be approximately between 100 to 140 mg.%
And cuts should be very light.
Note:
1. Dry cupping is that in which cuts are not applied, but our
experience is that this is not so beneficial, especially since
the Prophet~ said:
"Healing is in the cutting edge of the blade."
2. We advise that Xylocaine cream 5% should be rubbed on the
hijama site, before applying the cuts. The pain sensation of
the patient will be lessened. This is especially important for
children and elderly patients.
To maintain good health it is essential to exercise and eat a
sunnah diet the details of which has been mentioned previously
in the book.
The practitioner should decide how many points he will use
For instance in constipation 31 points have been given.
However a sensible practitioner will probably use only 3 to
7 points.
Correct diagnosis is the basis of Treatment however the sunnat
points which Rasool Allah ~ used are the only points which
are certainly beneficial, because they come from the knowledge
bestowed to Rasool Allah~ from Allah ~ . All other points
are the result of human experience. Wisdom is the lost
property of the beleiver and he will use it from the wherever
he gets it.
In these days so many investigations have come in like
Laboratry blood tests CT scans MRl, ECG, EEG, stress thallium
Ill
l'rcc.1ut1011,11, i\ka,utc, tor Hq,1m,1
scans coronary angiography, biopsy reports which are necessary

for a correct diagnosis. Hence only a qualified physician who
is able to interpret these tests should practice Hijama.

Getting Hijama done is the sunnah of
Rasoolallah ~f.
He himself got Hijama done and advised others
to get it done, as this was adYised to him by
the angels when he was on 1airaj (Ascension
to the heavens). Its authenticity and importance
can be accessed from the fact that Imam
Bukhari has allotted 5 chapters to Hij ama in
his Sahib. In this brief book. we have dealt
with some gen eral principles of attaining
physical and spiritual health in the Sunnah
way. After this, we have given an account
ofHijama, and illustrated this with diagrams
on the sites to be used in various diseases .
