Medicine of the Prophet
Long Review 1
Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is a book over brimming with knowledge. I say knowledge and not information because there is a difference between these two. Most of the books on medicine today merely give you information and very few actually tell you how to use this information. The correct method of utilizing information in a beneficial way is knowledge. This book gives you exactly that.
It states everything that our beloved Prophet Muhammad has mentioned as a cure for a disease. The book then explains how one can apply this cure on oneself to gain the maximum benefit out of it. All its claims are supported with authentic references from Quran and Sunnah. Based on the work of Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Jauziyah, this book first lists all kinds of diseases and then gives the cure of everything per the teachings of Quran and Sunnah. It further explains how one can use the natural medicines to gain the maximum benefit out of it and interestingly this isn’t the end of this book.
After dealing with the physical illnesses and their cures, the book moves even further to the spiritual illnesses and diseases that are caused by the Jinn, magic and evil eye. This was the part where the book really caught my attention. It spoke about ruqya and how it can cure spiritual illnesses. The book further explains how one can properly do ruqya and use it to cure people troubled with jinn possession and black magic. Really nice book to read. Full of knowledge. Would definitely recommend to all Muslims.
