Healing by Tal'h - Bananas


Healing Through Prophetic Medicine in Islam


Healing by Food

طــلـــح Tal'h (Banana or Acacia)

طَلْحٌ: قال تعالى: وَطَلْحٍ مَّنضْوُدٍ (الواقعة: 29) قال أكثر المفسِّرين: هو المَوْز. و"المنضودُ": هو الذى قد نُضِّدَ بعضُه على بعض، كالمُشْط. وقيل: "الطلحُ": الشجرُ ذو الشَّوْك، نُضِّدَ مكانَ كل شَوْكة ثمرة، فثمرُه قد نُضِّدَ بعضُه إلى بعض، فهو مثل الموز، وهذا القولُ أصح، ويكون مَن ذكر الموزَ من السَّلَف أراد التمثيل لا التخصيصَ.. والله أعلم.

وهو حارٌ رطب، أجودُه النضيج الحلو، ينفع مِن خشونة الصدر والرئة والسُّعال، وقروح الكُلْيتَيْن، والمثانة، ويُدِرُّ البَوْل، ويزيد فى المَنِىِّ، ويُحَرِّكُ الشهوة للجِماع، ويُليِّن البطن، ويُؤكل قبل الطعام، ويَضر المَعِدَة، ويزيد فى الصفراء والبلغم، ودفعُ ضرره بالسكر أو العسل



Allah The Glorified Said:


"And there (in paradise) will be Tal'h (Banana trees) with fruits piled one above another". 
(Waq'eah:29)


The majority of scholars said that Tal'h means bananas, as they grow in clusters / piles one over the other just as the comb’s teeth. It was said that Tal'h is the tree that has thorns and which get replaced by fruits, each in the place of a thorn, just like what occurs on banana trees. This is the best opinion about the meaning of Tal'h. Hence, the Salaf (righteous predecessors) who said that Tal'h means banana trees are just using it as an example to explain the meaning of the word Tal'h, not that it only means banana trees (any tree that grows fruits in clusters can be called Tal'h). Allah Has the best knowledge.


Bananas are hot and wet. The best type of banana is ripe and sweet.


Bananas help against the roughness of the chest and lungs, relieve coughing and help against the ulcers of kidney, urinary bladder and prostate. Bananas produce urine (diuretic), stimulate semen production, soften the stomach and arouse the sexual drive; and they should be eaten before meals. Bananas may harm the stomach slightly and aggravate the bile and phlegm.


Eating Bananas with honey reduces their harmful side effects.
