1. HoneyAllah stated:وَأَوْحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ أَنِ اتَّخِذِي مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا وَمِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ ﴿٦٨﴾ ثُمَّ كُلِي مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ فَاسْلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًا ۚ يَخْرُجُ مِن بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُهُ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ لِّلنَّاسِ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ﴿٦٩﴾"And your Lord inspired the bee, saying: 'Take your habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect. Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy for you.' There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying colours wherein is healing for the people. Verily, in this is indeed a sign for people who think." [Surah An-Nahl: 68-69]The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "If there is any good in your remedies, then it is in the cup of the cupper, in the gulp of honey and branding with fire (cauterisation) that suits the ailment, but I do not like to be branded with fire." And the Messenger (ﷺ) Would enjoy drinking honey mixed with cold water. [Bukhāri no. 5683, Muslim no. 2205]2. Black SeedThe Prophet (ﷺ) said: "In the Black Seed there is the cure for every sickness except death." [Bukhāri no. 5688, Muslim no. 2215] The seed or the oil can be used, consumed or applied on the skin.3. Seven Madinah Dates In The MorningThe Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever eats everyday seven 'Ajwa dates in the morning, will not be harmed on that day by poison or magic." [Bukhāri nos. 5445, 5769] Imām Ibn Bāz (ra) held the view that this narration applies to all of the dates of Madinah due to the saying of the Messenger (ﷺ) He who eats seven dates of the land situated between these two lava plains (Madinah) in the morning, no poison will harm him until the evening." [Muslim no. 2047. See Majmū' Fatāwā Ibn Bāz 3/288]4. Hijamah (Blood Cupping)The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The best of that which you cure with is the Hijāmah.” [Abu Dāwūd no. 3857, sahih] The Messenger of Allah lalats used to have himself cupped at the front of his head and between his shoulders. [Abu Dawud no. 3859, sahih] And he (ﷺ) said: "Whoever has himself cupped on the 17th, 19th and 21st of the month, it will be a remedy for every disease." [Abu Dāwūd no. 3861, sahih]He (ﷺ) also said: “Cupping on an empty stomach is better, and in it there is healing and blessing, and it increases one's intellect and memory. So, have yourselves cupped for the blessing of Allāh, on Thursdays. And avoid cupping on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Have yourselves cupped on Mondays and Tuesdays for Tuesday is the day on which Allāh relieved Ayyūb (Staale) from his affliction, and He afflicted him with a trial on a Wednesday-and leprosy only appears on Wednesdays, or on the night before Wednesday." [Ibn Mājah no. 3487. See As-Sahihah no. 766]We ask Allah to grant us success to worship Him, and obey Him as He deserves-we ask Him to forgive us and show us His mercy, and to cure us for He is the Healer, And enter us in to the eternal Gardens of Paradise and protect us from His punishment.To finish, I say: all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all creation; may Allah extol the mention of our noble Prophet Muhammad in the highest company of Angels and grant him peace and security-and to his family, his Companions and all those who follow him correctly until the establishment of the Hour.
