There are some habits that nourish more than the body.
They steady the heart.
They simplify life.
They quietly reconnect us to the Sunnah.
Nabeez is one of those gifts.
Simple. Intentional. Nourishing.
🌿 What Is Nabeez?
Nabeez is a natural drink that the beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) used to drink in the morning and at night. Narrated Aisha (RA): "The Nabeez used to be prepared for Rasulullah (SAW) in the morning.
When it was night, he would drink it. Then at night the Prophet was made. When morning came, he would drink it." (Sunan Abu Dawud, Kitabush Sharabah, Babu Fi Sifatin Nabeez, Hadith No. 3712).
Nabeez is not only good for health, butIt is also a part of following the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH). It is made by soaking dates/raisins/figs in water. This drink is highly nutritious and hydrating, which hydrates the body and provides energy throughout the day.
🌙 Why Nabeez Matters—Especially Before Ramadan?
Ramadan is coming in a few days. It is especially beneficial during Sahri and Iftar during the month of Ramadan.
As Ramadan progresses, most people find it difficult to eat well at Sahri and Iftar began to rise. Because a common problem of fasting people is stomach acidity or gas problem.
To solve this problem it may be better for you to try 'Nabi', a favorite drink of the Prophet (PBUH). Nabeez is an alkaline tonic, which flushes out toxins from the body, reduces stomach acidity and improves digestion.

Where any is difficultSubstances (fruits, herbs, or others) are soaked in a liquid (water, oil, or others) for a specified period of time (12 hours, 24 hours, or more) so that the active ingredients of the solids are absorbed into the liquid.
In this process, the liquid absorbs the nutrients, aromas and other components of the solid. After soaking, the beneficial components of the solid material are mixed with the liquid, then the solid material is filtered and the liquid material is separatedis taken
🥣 How to Make Nabeez (The Sunnah Way)?

Nabeez can be made with raisins like dates. But never two Do not mix together to make nabiyyah. In the hadith it is forbidden to mix dates and raisins together to make Nabeez. In the Hanafi Madhhab, mixing dates and raisins together to make Nabeez is makruh.

On the authority of Hazrat Abu Qatadah (R.A.): "The Prophet, peace be upon himThe Messenger of Allah forbade the mixing of dates (ripe dates) and half-ripe dates and dates and raisins. And each of these can be soaked separately to make 'Nabeez'."
(Sahih Bukhari, Volume 74, Chapter 11, Hah 5602; Sahih Muslim, Volume 36, Chapter 5, Hah 1988)
Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA): "The Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: 'Whoever drinks Nabeez (water soaked in dates or grapes)If he wishes to do so, let him drink it separately (soaked and made nabiyyah) with raisins or dry dates or raw dates.'
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade us not to mix raw dates with dry dates, or raisins with dates, or raisins with raw dates.” (Sahih Muslim, Hadith No: 1988, Islamic Foundation Edition).
