BENEFITS OF QUST AL HINDI WITH HONEY( INDIAN COSTUS ROOT)
There are essentially two types of Qust, Indian (Qust al Hindi) and Marine/Sea (Qust al Bahri). Both come in the form of a dried root and Qust has a praised high status in the aHadith which is on par with Hijama cupping.
Imam Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah (rahimullah) said that both types of Qust provide considerable medicinal benefits. Qust is one of the remedies to always have at home which I must recommend to all my brothers and sisters who are serious about using Tibb an Nabawi to treat themselves and their loved ones.
Qust is hot and dry in the third degree and helps to dry out excess phlegm, help to remedy colds and influenza and nasal congestion. Imam Ibn Al Qayyim said that drinking an infusion of Qust helps strengthen the liver and helps to remedy weakness of digestion, slackness of the stomach, and if used as an ointment, it helps backache or rheumatic pain in the lumbar region.
Sea/Marine Qust is a little paler in colour and also milder in taste and more suitable for administering to children.
Imam Ibn Al Qayyim said that Qust is also very beneficial for illnesses relating to breathing and the chest – pleurisy (a type of painful infection of the lining of the lungs), asthma, heaviness in the chest (breathing difficulties) and it helps to reduce thirst. It also helps remove freckles, fade scars and helps to control skin discolouration on the face and the chest which results from pregnancy or malnutrition.
Galen noted that Qust can also help kill ringworm (intestinal parasites) and if applied as an ointment can remove dry scales which are shed by the skin, including dandruff.
In the Sunan, the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu alayhi wassallam) praises the excellence of Qust as a general remedy and he is also reported mentioning it as a remedy for inflammation/infection of the throat as well as in another Hadith mentioning it with Hijama. Qust contains helicene and benzoic acid, both of which are substances that kill germs, hence the benefit in the treatment of infections and inflammations.
Reference to Hadith regarding the general excellence of Qust, and partnering it with Hijama in the same sentence.
Anas (radhi Allahu anhu) narrated that he was asked about the wages of the one who cups others. He said, “Allah’s Messenger (sallAllahu alayhi wassallam) was cupped by `Abd Taiba, to whom he gave two Sa of food and interceded for him with his masters who consequently reduced what they used to charge him daily. Then the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wassallam) said, “The best medicines you may treat yourselves with are cupping and sea incense.’ He added, “You should not torture your children by treating tonsillitis by pressing the tonsils or the palate with the finger, but use incense.”

7 HEALTHY ISLAMIC & SUNNAH FOODS YOU SHOULD ADD IN YOUR DIET
Islam is not just a religion but also a way of life for many Muslims. The most glaring component of any Muslim’s diet is halal food, which means food that is permissible to consume according to Sharia Law. But did you know that there are also recommended foods which hold great benefits?
Muslims are encouraged to live a healthy life in order to remain physically and mentally fit. This sunnah food was actually mentioned in the Quran and even consumed by the Prophet SAW in his daily life. If you’re looking to improve your diet, try this sunnah food that boasts both nutritional and spiritual value.
Dates
This sunnah food might not come as a surprise to you. Commonly eaten by Muslims especially during Ramadan, dates are actually a great source of vitamins and minerals. Dates are so nutritious that even the Prophet SAW used to plant date trees himself.
Dates are low in fat and are a great source of dietary fibre, vitamin A, potassium, calcium and many more. They are also free from cholesterol! Muslims are encouraged to consume dates in odd numbers, a common practice by the Prophet SAW and his companions.
“He who eats seven ‘Ajwa dates every morning will not be affected by poison or magic on the day he eats them.” [Bukhari]
”Honey is a remedy for every illness and the Quran is a remedy for all illness of the mind, therefore I recommend to you both remedies, the Quran and honey.“ [Bukhari]
Honey
Many consider honey the ultimate food since it has seemingly countless internal and external benefits. As a great source of energy, this sunnah food helps strengthen the stomach, aids in digestion, eliminates phlegm and even reduces muscle fatigue. Honey is also used to treat wounds, minor burns and is known to be good for your skin.
Figs
Figs are undeniably a fruit from paradise. This sunnah food can be eaten both fresh and dried. Figs boast many health benefits and are a good source of vitamins and minerals such as iron. Being a good source of fibre, figs also help alleviate constipation and helps you feel full. Figs are a good cure for stomach disorders and piles.
“It is also mentioned in the Noble Quran Allah Almighty says: “I swear by the fig and the olive.” [Surah At-Tin]
Talbina
Talbina is a soothing broth made from ground barley that has many healing properties. It is mentioned by Ibn al-Qayyim in his great work on “The Prophetic Medicine” and there are many Ahadith on the merits of talbina for the sick and grieving person. Ibn al-Qayyim described talbina as a thin soup with the consistency of yoghurt (laban), from where it’s name is derived.
He said that it was a broth made from barley flour together with the husks, and it is similar to barley water but the difference is that barley water is cooked with whole barley but talbina is cooked with ground barley. Therefore it is more beneficial because it can be digested easier and the nutrients are penetrated into the system quicker.
He also said that “it has relaxation for the heart of the sick person”, it is nutritious and filling, and it warms and soothes the stomach, helping to lessens sorrows and to regain health. It can also be effective in maintaining bowel regularity.
Medicinal Benefits of Barley
Barley is the core ingredient of talbina and for all the good reasons as well. Barley is a member of the grass family Poaceae and an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble fiber. The reason why it is so beneficial in contrast to other grains such as wheat is because it contains abundance of beta-glucans. Beta-glucans are comprised of β-D-glucose polysaccharide group which are highly effective in reinforcing the body’s immune system.
Watermelon
Watermelon is typically a delicious and cooling treat especially for those living in warmer climates. Yet, many Muslims don’t realise that watermelon is actually a sunnah food with a host of benefits.
It helps relieve pain and muscle soreness, boost immunity, prevent acid reflux and kidney stones. Watermelon is also known to improve your eye health and protect your skin. According to his companions, the Prophet SAW would consume watermelon with ripe dates.
“The hotness of this substance (dates) neutralises the coolness of that (watermelon).”
[Abu Dawood and At-Tirmidhi]
Milk
Found in almost every household, milk is a definite staple in every person’s refrigerator. Milk is undoubtedly a great source of nutrients such as calcium, protein, potassium and many more. Its high nutrition value aids in making your bones and teeth healthy while repairing muscles and maintaining healthy red blood cells. Got Milk?
“There is instruction for you in cattle. From the contents of their bellies, between that which is to be eliminated (from the animal’s body) and (its) blood, We give you pure milk to drink, easy for drinkers to swallow.” [Surat an‐Nahl: 66]
There is no great way of improving your daily diet than by consuming this blessed sunnah food. The best part is that they are easily found in any supermarket. Perhaps, some have already found a way onto your shelves. Nothing like a healthy body to supplement your spiritual health.
