Healing by Izkher - A kind of Lemon


Healing Through Prophetic Medicine in Islam


Healing by Herbs

إذْخِرٌ / Izkher / A kind of Lemon Grass




إذْخِرٌ: ثبت فى "الصحيح"، عنه صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال فى مكةَ: "لا يُختَلَى خَلاَها"، قال له العباس رضى الله عنه: إلا الإذْخِرَ يا رسولَ اللهِ؛ فإنه لِقَيْنِهم ولبيوتِهِم، فقال: "إلا الإذْخِرَ"


والإذْخِرُ حارٌ فى الثانية، يابسٌ فى الأُولى، لطيف مفتح للسُّددِ، وأفواه العروقُ، يُدرُّ البَوْل والطَّمْث، ويُفَتِّتُ الحصى، ويُحلِّل الأورام الصلبة فى المَعِدَة والكَبِد والكُلْيَتين شرباً وضِماداً، وأصلُه يُقوِّى عمودَ الأسنان والمَعِدَة، ويسكن الغَثَيان، ويَعْقِلُ البطن.



In the Sahih Hadith, it is narrated that Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam said in Makkah about its plants: "Do not cut its plants." Abass Radi Allaho Anh said, “Except for Izkher, O Messenger of Allah for their (the people of Makkah) servants use it and it is used for their house, so our beloved Prophet said: “Except Izkher".


Izkher is hot in the second degree and dry in the first degree. It is a light substance that opens clogs and the veins orifices. It increases urine and menstruation-flow, dissolves the stones and the hard tumors in the stomach, liver and kidneys, either as a drink or as a bandage. The stems of Izkher will strengthen the column of the teeth and the stomach, calm nausea and constipate the stomach.


Izkher is a wild grass that grows in deserts; it is totally managed by Allah & remains un-touched by human's cultivation & irrigation. It is translated as lemon grass in English, but Izkher's fragrant smell & bitter taste is much stronger than the ordinary lemon grass.

You can find dried Izkher with Bedouins; they sell it at Masjid-e-Quba'a & Jabal Uhud.

Healing by Sugarcane


Healing Through Prophetic Medicine in Islam

قَصَبُ السُّكَّرِ  Sugarcane Qasab As-Sukkar 

قَصَبُ السُّكَّرِ: السكر حادث لم يتكلم فيه متقدِّمو الأطباء، ولا كانوا يعرفونه، ولا يَصِفونه فى الأشربة، وإنما يعرفون العسل، ويُدخلونه فى الأدوية. وقصبُ السكر حارٌ رطب ينفع من السُّعال، ويجلو الرطوبةَ والمثانة، وقصبةَ الرِّئة، وهو أشدُّ تلييناً من السكر، وفيه معونةٌ على القىء، ويُدِرُّ البَوْل، ويزيد فى الباه. قال عفان بن مسلم الصفَّار: مَنْ مَصَّ قصبَ السكر بعد طعامه، لم يزل يومَه أجمعَ فى سرور.. انتهى.وهو ينفع من خشونة الصدر والحلق إذا شُوِىَ، ويُولِّد رياحاً دفعُها بأن يُقشَّرَ ويُغسل بماء حار.والسكر حارٌ رطب على الأصح، وقيل: بارد. وأجودُه: الأبيض الشفاف الطَّبَرْزَد، وعَتيقُه ألطفُ من جديده، وإذا طُبِخَ ونُزِعَتْرغوتُه، سكَّن العطشَ والسُّعال، وهو يضر المَعِدَة التى تتولَّد فيها الصفراءُ لاستحالته إليها، ودفعُ ضرره بماء اللَّيمون أو لنارَنْجِ، أو الرُّمان اللفَّان.

وبعضُ الناس يُفضِّلُه على العسل لقِلَّة حرارته ولينه، وهذا تحامل منه على العسل، فإنَّ منافع العسل أضعافُ منافع السكر، قد جعله الله شِفاءً ودواءً، وإداماً وحلاوةً، وأين نفعُ السكر مِن منافع العسل: مِن تقويةِ المَعِدَة، وتليين الطبع، وإحدادِ البصر، وجِلاءِ ظُلمته، ودفعِ الخوانيق بالغرغرةِ به، وإبرائِهِ من الفالج واللَّقْوة، ومِن جميع العلل الباردة التى تَحدُث فى جميع البدن من الرطوبات، فيجذِبُها من قعر البدن، ومن جميع البدن، وحفظِ صحته وتسمينه وتسخينه، والزيادةِ فى الباه، والتحليلِ والجِلاءِ، وفتح أفواهِ العروق، وتنقيةِ المِعَى، وإحدارِ الدُّود، ومنعِ التخم وغيره من العفن، والأُدم النافع، وموافقةِ مَن غلب عليه البلغمُ والمشايخ وأهلِ الأمزجة الباردة.. وبالجملة: فلا شىء أنفعُ منه للبدن، وفى العلاج وعجز الأدوية، وحفظِ قواها، وتقويةِ المَعِدة إلى أضعاف هذه المنافع، فأين للسُّكَّرِ مثلُ هذه المنافع والخصائص أو قريبٌ منها ؟



The word "SUKKAR" (sugar) is mentioned in a Hadith as under :



جاء في جامع  الترمذي من حديث ابي هريره رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه  وسلم  :  يخرج في آخر الزمان  قوم يختلون الدنيا بالدين ويلبسون للناس مسوك الضأن من اللين  السنتهم احلى من  السكر وقلوبهم قلوب الذئاب  . يقول الله عز وجل  : أبى يغترون ؟ أم علىّ يجترءون ؟ فبى حلفتُ لأبعثن على أولئك منهم فتنة تدع الحليم منهم حيران



Narrated by Tirmizi that Abu Hurayrah Radi Allaho Anh reported that Prophet Muhamamd Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam said: "In the last decades of this world, there will be some people who will intermingle their Religion with worldly desires, & when they will come out of the houses, will wear the soft leather of sheep, their tongues will be sweeter than SUGAR, & their hearts will be like a wolf's heart, Allah Says for them " Are they deceiving Me or they are trying to overpower Me? I Swear that I Shall send such disasters & calamities upon them; that will even surprise their soft-hearted".





Sugar is a relatively new substance that the people of old did not mention or even have knowledge that it existed. This is why they did not describe its role in various types of drinks or cures. Honey, on the other hand, was extensively used as a drink and as a medicine.



Sugarcane is hot and wet, helps relieve coughing and dissipates the excess moistures in the body, prostate and chest it is a laxative, induces vomit, is diuretic and stimulates semen production.



Affan bin Muslim As-Saffaar said, "Those who suck on sugarcane after eating their meal will find comfort for the rest of the day". When sugarcane is broiled, it relieves the roughness in the throat and chest. Yet, it causes the accumulation of gasses that would be pacified when sugarcane is peeled and washed in hot water.



Sugar is hot and wet. When sugar is boiled and skimmed, it quenches the thirst and relieves coughing. Sugarcane is not good for the stomach that suffers from bile. The side effects of sugarcane could be pacified by mixing it with lemon water (juice), Naranji (bitter orange) and peeled pomegranate.



Some people prefer sugarcane to honey because it is not as hot as honey and because it is milder on the stomach. This is not fair for honey, which is much more profitable than sugarcane. In addition, Allah Has Made honey both a cure and a type of sweet. So how can anyone compare the benefits of honey and the benefits of sugarcane? 

Honey strengthens the stomach, soothes the natural process, strengthens the eyesight and heals diphtheria when gargled, facial paralysis and Hemiplegia (paralysis affecting only one side of the body). Honey extracts and pulls excess moisture from the body, preserves the health, increases semen production, cleanses and decomposes the contents of the stomach. In addition, honey cleanses the intestines, fights worms and prevents septic repletion (over eating). Further, honey is a good type of food and favorable for those who suffer from phlegm and for old people. In short, no substance is more beneficial for the body as a food, as a remedy and as an ingredient and a preserver of medications, which In addition strengthens the stomach, than honey. There are many more benefits for honey. So how can anyone compare it to sugarcane, which does not have even a fraction of the benefits contained in honey?

Healing by Sha'hm - Fat

شـــحـم Sha’hm (Fat)






شَحْمٌ: ثبت فى "المسند" عن أنس"أنَّ يهودياً أضاف رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقدَّم له خُبزَ شَعِيرِ، وإهالَةً سَنِخَةً"، و"الإهالة": الشَّحْم المذاب، والألْية. و"السَّنِخَةُ": المتغيرة. وثبت فى "الصحيح": عن عبد الله بن مُغَفَّل، قال:"دُلِّى جِرَابٌ من شَحْمٍ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ، فالتزمتُه وقلتُ: واللهِ لا أُعطى أحداً منه شيئاً، فالتفتُّ، فإذا رسولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَضْحَكُ، ولم يقل شيئاً".

أجود الشحمِ ما كان مِن حيوان مكتمل، وهو حارٌ رطب، وهو أقلُّ رطوبةً من السمن، ولهذا لو أُذيب الشحمُ والسمن كان الشَحمُ أسرعَ جموداً. وهو ينفع من خشونة الحلق، ويُرخى ويعفن، ويُدفع ضرره باللَّيْمون المملُوح، والزنجبيل، وشحمُ المَعز أقبضُ الشحوم، وشحم التُّيوس أشدُّ تحليلاً، وينفع مِن قروح الأمعاء، وشحمُ العَنز أقوى فى ذلك، ويُحتقَن به للسَّحَج والزَّحِير.



In Al-Musnad, it is narrated that Anas Radi Allaho Anh said that a Jewish man asked Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam to be his guest and that he offered him some barley bread and melted FAT.


In the Sahih, it is narrated that Abdullah bin Mughaffal Radi Allaho Anh said, On the Day of Khyber, a bag full of FAT was lowered and I took possession of it and said, "By Allah! I will not share it with anyone else". When I turned around, I found that Messenger of Allah (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) was laughing and did not comment".


The best type of FAT is that taken from a grown animal. FAT is hot and wet but less wetter than Ghee. This is why when both FAT and Ghee are melted, FAT hardens faster.


FAT helps against throat roughness, it represses and causes rotting. To neutralize the harmful effects of FAT, one should use lemon, salt and ginger. In addition, goat's FAT constipates more than any other type of fats, while Billy goat's FAT is more decomposing and helps against stomach ulcers and is used as an injection to relieve Excoriation (the rubbing away of skin from injury or disease), and (spasms of the bladder or anus).


We have found that fat from camel's hump is the most delicious, it is more tastier than butter & melts in the mouth so quickly.
