“Sunnah focuses on prevention, while modern society often waits for the cure.”
— Salih Algazi
I was surprised and asked: Sir, will you tell me a little more? How the people of this city are healthy without hospital? The gentleman paused. Then he sat the three of us close.
He said: Listen children, the companion of our Prophet Harith Bin Kaladah said -
المعدةُ بيتُ الدَّاءِ والحميةُ رأسُ الدَّواءِ

"The stomach is the home of all diseases, and moderation is the root of all cures."
The people of this city have adopted that education as the motto of life. Nabil asked: But sir, don't they ever get sick?
The gentleman smiled softly and said: Illness is a test from Allah. But people here value prevention before cure. Let's take a tour of you.
We started walking with Mr. A huge market was seen first. There are rows of black cumin seeds, honey, olive oil, dates, ajwa dates, sina makki leaves and various herbs.
The gentleman said: Look children, our beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said -
الحَبَّةُ السَّوْدَاءُ شِفَاءٌ من كلِّ دَاءٍ إلَّا السَّامَ
"Black cumin cures all diseases except death."

A mixture of black cumin and honey is consumed every morning in every house in this city. Ibrahim said in surprise: Subhanallah!
Then we came to an open desert. There are some skilled doctors performing hijama (horning). The gentleman said: Our Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, said—
إنَّ أفضلَ ما تداويتُم به الحجامةُ و القُسطُ البحريُّ ، فلا تُعذِّبوا صبيانَكم بالغَمزِ
"Hijama is the best of all the treatments you use."

People here do Hijama regularly, as a result the blood is pure and the body is healthy. I asked: Sir, are there any special rules regarding eating and drinking? Mr. eyes bright and said: This is the main point! The people of this city strictly adhere to three Sunnahs—
First, they divide the stomach into three parts — one for food, one for water, and one for breathing. The Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, taught this.
ما ملأ ابنُ آدمَ وعاءً شرًّا من بطنِه حسْبُ ابنِ آدمَ أُكلاتٌ يُقمْنَ صلبَه فإن كان لا محالةَ فثُلثٌ لطعامِه وثلثٌ لشرابِه وثلثٌ لنفسِه

Second, they fast regularly. Not only during Ramadan, but also on Mondays and Thursdays, Iyyam al-Biya (13th, 14th, 15th of the month). Fasting removes toxins from the body, increases immunity.
Thirdly, they eat seven Ajwa dates for breakfast. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said:
مَن تَصَبَّحَ كُلَّ يَومٍ سَبعَ تَمَراتٍ عَجوةً، لم يَضُرَّه في ذلك اليَومِ سُمٌّ ولا سِحرٌ.
"One who eats seven Ajwa dates every morning, no poison or magic can harm him."

Nabil said: Sir, what about cleanliness? The gentleman laughed and said: Boy, this is half of our deen! Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said:
الطُّهورُ شطْرُ الإيمانِ ،
"Cleanliness is half of faith."

The people of this city perform ablution five times a day — which keeps the hands, mouth, nose, and ears clean. They do miswak regularly, which protects against oral diseases. They wash their hands before and after eating, say Bismillah, eat with the right hand, sit on the ground and eat.
The three of us looked at each other's faces. What a wonderful way of life! Where there is no need for hospitalization, because the disease is prevented before it occurs.
I said: Sir, we are one I have come from an age where there is a hospital in every street, a patient in every room, yet people cannot find healing. The gentleman said seriously: Son, this is what happens when people turn away from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah. No matter how advanced medical science is, there is no substitute for Sunnah.
Sunnah is prevention, and modernity only pursues remedy. The three of us are silent on the way back. Everyone has only one promise — us Going back in time, I will implement the Nabawi treatment method of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in my life.
Honey, black cumin, olive oil, hijama, fasting, moderate diet, cleanliness — make these a part of life. Ibrahim said: Today I understand why this age is called the golden age. Not only in worship, but in every aspect of life, Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has left a perfect example for us.
Nabil said: Indeed,Allah Ta'ala says - "Surely there is a good model for you in the Messenger of Allah." (Surah Ahzaab: 21)
I said to myself: O Allah, grant us Tawfiq so that we may retain every Sunnah of Your Messenger in our lives. amen
Maybe the true “golden age” was not only advanced in knowledge…
but advanced in living with balance, purpose, and harmony.
May Allah grant us the ability to revive the beautiful Sunnahs of Rasulullah ﷺ in every aspect of our lives. Ameen.
🌙 If this reminder touched your heart, share it with someone you love.
Because spreading knowledge is sadaqah. So spread this knowledge of “Attibbun Nabawi” to at least one person everyday.]
