ISLAM ~ Still Best Medicine

Muslim Medicine
& Islamic Science

Proven True

- AGAIN!

(compare the following article about "Horticultural Therapy" to the 'Paradise' in Quran) Modern Science & Medicine Prove: Islam: Still The Best Medicine! - Yusuf Estes An article written in the U.S.A - in June of 2023 called "Tranquility grows well in a garden." It said: "Americans are awakening their "inner transcendentalist with healing havens" -- gardens designed to bring peace to the owner. They call their "sanctuaries" by a new name - "tranquility gardens." The picture in the article shows a woman named Molly Matthews as a "horticultural therapist" and she is designing these "tranquil gardens" for people in California (where else?). Anyway, take a look at some of the terms used in the article... ".. sanctuaries, also known as "tranquility gardens" and... "Gardens have always been a safe haven and a place to renew" and... ".. bring pleasure, and in times of uncertainty and stress.." also... "people are being more mindful of their surroundings.. looking outside and thinking, 'What can I do to make this my palace .. my oasis?'" And the so-called horticultural therapist says... "You need to be away from the cement, which is numbing to people." She goes on to include many things straight from the Quran in her theme of peaceful gardens, including,"jewelry"; "shells from beaches, layered on panels.. She even suggests... "man-made ponds"...

Her instructions for a "tranquility garden" include:

"Select a SACRED area... in green space, add COMFORTABLE SEATING"; "colorful and fragrant flowers"; "Embellish with calming elements - water and wind are sensory... soothing"; "Top choices... birdbaths, wind chimes and small water fountains."

Quote: "It's important to feel like you're in an EDEN, a sanctuary." -- Molly Matthews, horticultural therapist.

Now - Here is my question:

Why is it when Ms. Matthews says it, it makes USA Today news?
But when Allah Almighty says it, they make fun and ridicule or call it a book of terrorism?

Can you believe it?
Doctors and scientists - turning to the teachings of Islam for answers to complicated questions on the origin of life, human development and even space travel - but then call it by some other name and claim they have "discovered" something new?

Think about these proofs from the sunnah (way of Muhammad as examples for all humans) for instance:

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, taught us over 1,400 years ago:
* Wash hands before and after you eat.

* After the toilet, always wash your hands, wrists, arms, face, etc.
 
* Always eat with your right hand (the right hand for eating, drinking, and shaking hands - the left hand for dirty things).

* Don't eat until you are hungry.

* Never fill your stomach.

* Stomach has 3 parts:  1 for food, 1 for drink, 1 to leave room for air.

* And always sit down while eating or drinking.

This was 1,400 years ago. Today we are so modern. Right? Well, think about this:

1) Public television aired a program dealing with the epidemic level of the spread of hepatitis B, sometime back. They proved it was due to food handlers in restaurants, not washing their hands after using the toilet.

2) Other programs proved office workers spread diseases the same way - on computer keyboards, telephones, things touched and shared in the office areas. This study showed germs from human waste was even in the aire systems they were breathing. All due to not washing themselves after going to the toilet.

3) In a study done by the United States Navy during the time of the Clinton administration, they wanted to determine the effects of cleaning and washing after using the toilet. On one ship every single person (around 200 or so, if I remember correctly) were commanded to wash before and after going to the toilet and before eating, etc. The findings? Very clearly, the evidence showed that these men had a definite decline in sickness, headaches, colds, diseases and no mention of any hepatitis at all.

4) There is a series on TV about how they only now are discovering the only way to insure longevity (long life) is not related so much to what you eat, but rather: how much you eat. They are calling for smaller portions; not to eat until you are hungry; not to fill your stomach; even telling people to begin by cutting the amount they eat -- in HALF.

5) Many people, even Muslims today, are saying things against the sunnah of Muhammad, peace be upon him. Some say it is not valid today. Others claim they don't see any value in it or that it is something not important and some are even making fun of his way and his teachings as though this is something old fashioned and outdated. (Aouthubillah).

Yet, when the same thing is coming from a non-Muslim doctor in Washington, DC... I'll let you decide about this one:

One night while driving home very late, I was so tired, at a red light I laid my head on the steering wheel. When the light turned green, my little daughter started tapping my shoulder and said, "Daddy, you have to drive. "I'm tired." She turned on the radio very loud in an effort to keep me awake..

First thing I heard was, "Never stand up when you eat or drink." --- "Never, ever stand up when you eat or drink; always sit down while eating and drinking."

The woke me up for sure - "Who could be talking like this?" This was sounding like Muslim preachers telling us to copy the prophet, peace be upon him.

You have to sit when you eat or drink - take care of your eating habits, don't fill your stomach, always wash your hands. 

Then I heard him say, "If you knew the damage that you are doing to your body by standing while you eat, you would never do it."

He named the various parts of the body effected by standing instead of sitting while you eat,

"Your esophagus, the stomach, kidneys, liver, etc."

He was a doctor and he said,

"Most of the operations would not be necessary if people would only SIT DOWN WHEN THEY EAT OR DRINK."

Interesting, isn't it?

Now, after reading this, it I sit while eating and take little portions and don't eat till I'm full -- am I doing for just health, or am I doing for Allah and His messenger, peace be upon him?"

I received an email trying to make fun of what Allah mentioned in the Quran about "gardens underneath which rivers flow" in the Paradise.

They said,  "It didn't make any sense for people to need gardens in Heaven nor did they need rivers, nor fragrances, nor couches to sit on, nor any of the things referred to in conjunction with such teachings."

They were making furn of Quran and claimed it proves Islam is wrong. (Aouthubillah)

When we visited the university of Curacao near South America, 135 people accepted the truth of Islam and stood up for shahadah (it's on video at www.WatchIslam.com) And while we were in Flint, Michigan, (2 shahadahs); Merrillville, Indiana (1 shahadah); Chicago, Illinois for two separate nights (2 more shahadahs).

Then in North Carolina, many more stood up for shahadah when we did an open house there. Hundreds and hundreds of Muslims are coming out for the events, but the problem is that they are only bringing one or two non-Muslims to attend this things. I pray that Allah will guide us all to do our jobs, before it is too late. Ameen.

Keep up your dawah efforts there and make sure that you hold fast to the rope of Allah (don't let the shayton separate your community).

Proof: TV - Modern Doctors, Therapists - Sunnah & Quran - ISLAM is the Absolute Truth.

Well? Did you make the connection between what "Modern Day Experts" are saying about getting their "Jennah" on earth and what Quran is teaching the Muslims about the tranquility in Paradise?
