Image
  The combination of watermelon and dates is mentioned in several ahadith. Let’s explore them and the benefits of this powerful combo. Our Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was not fond of food and drinks. He always ate food without any objection. The food combinations He was advised to make were delicious, nutritious, and beneficial for health. One of the most famous combinations our Prophet ate and encouraged was watermelon with dates. Aaisha (R.A) said,  “ Allah’s Messenger (P.B.U.H) used to eat melon with fresh dates,  and then said,  ‘We remove the heat of this one (dates) with the coldness of this one (watermelon), and the coldness of this one (watermelon) with the heat of this one (dates) ” Sunan Abi Dawud 3836.

Does Hijama/Wet Cupping Break Wudu(Ablution)?

Image
  This is a common question, I usually come across whether the Hijama breaks Wudu. freepik.com According to the Islamic point of view, there are two schools of thought whether cupping breaks wudu or we can perform salaah after cupping without performing ablution. What Breaks Wudu Wudu is an Islamic ritual performed by Muslims before prayer. It involves purifying body parts with water and, in some cases, tayammum—Wudu emphasis on spiritual and physical cleanliness. Muslims can’t pray without wudu.

Mandatory Gap Of Hijama Between One Session To Another

Image
  A recommended gap of Hijama between one session to another is 4 to 12 weeks. As a Hijama Practitioner, I often encountered the question of how much gap is mandatory between two Hijama sessions. The answer will vary for each individual because it depends on their age, health issues, and overall body system. A recommended gap is 4 to 12 weeks. 4 Weeks Gap The 4-week gap is recommended for individuals between 20 and 50. It is also recommended for patients who have skin issues, migraines, hormonal imbalances, infertility issues, digestive issues, liver problems, and thyroid gland problems. A 4-week gap is suggested for a few months until patients feel a difference in their health. Sometimes patients want to come for another Hijama session after 2 or 3 weeks, but I disapprove of that. The scientific reason behind the 4-week gap is that when we do Hijama, our work is done but the cleaning inside the body just started. The toxic blood comes out and the body begins to make new blood cells. S

Blood thinners can be lifesaving medicines that prevent blood from composing bigger clots. These medicines can not dissolve huge clots that are already formed but they stop the blood from making more bigger clots. Blood should be thin enough to flow smoothly through the veins and arteries. Blood thinners should be consumed as directed, taking less medicine won’t be as effective as required and too much can lead to heavy bleeding in case of injury. Two Categories Of Blood Thinner Medicine There are two categories of blood thinners:  anticoagulants  that slow the formatting of clots from getting bigger and  antiplatelets  that keep the proteins from sticking in the blood and aid the blood from clotting. Why Doctors Recommend Blood Thinners The doctors prescribe these medicines to those people who have: Risk of heart attack or stroke Irregular heartbeats Deep vein t
