Section: The following things should be kept ready
142
Water(about 3-5 liters per person) - preferably ZamZam water, because of the hadith: "A food that satisfies and a cure from sickness" and "The water of Zam Zam is for whatever it is drunk for." If Zam-Zam is not available, rainwater should be gathered, for Allah said, "And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest" (Qaf 9), and because the Prophet used to uncover part of his garment when it rained, and he would say, "It has just come from its Lord. [ Abu Dawood] If rain water is not available, then regular water is fine, but effort should be made to obtain rain water where Zam Zam is not available. (Please do not delay the program excessively waiting for Zam Zam or rain water - you can always add it later inshaAllah.)Olive oilOne bottle per person should be enough. This should be organic extra virgin olive oil - greenish in color, not yellow as vegetable oil. Recommended is organic extra virgin olive oil from Palestine when you can get it because it comes from a country that is blessed. This is because Allah describes it as "lit from a blessed tree - the olive" [An-Nur 35], and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Eat olive oil and oil yourselves with it, for it is from a blessed tree. [Tirmidhi]HoneyWhich should be organic and of good quality. Allah legalaw said, "From their bodies comes a drink, many in color" (An-Nahl 69] and the Prophet said, "There is a cure in three things, a drunk of honey ..." [Bukhari] The Sheikh stressed that many people make the mistake to eat the honey and not to drink it, but the hadith makes it clear that one should drink the honey diluted in water.Black Seeds (Nigella sativa)Again this should be organic. The Prophet said, "It is a cure for every disease." [Bukhari and Muslim]Sidr (Ziziphus) leavesIs not listed by Shaykh Muqbil in this program. However, we strongly recommend it, since we have already often witnessed its effects. Seven leaves are crushed and put into the water to be recited on.
