The Miracles of Prophetic Medicine: Habbatus Sauda/Black Cumin Seeds/Nigella Sativa

A companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), Abu Hurairah, had narrated that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had stated that : "There is healing in black cumin for all diseases except death." (Sahih Bukhari).

The earliest written reference to black cumin (also called “blackseed”) is found in the book of Isaiah in the Old Testament (28:25-27).

Black cumin seeds (Nigella sativa) have long been used as a powerful remedy against major illnesses in nearly every major medical tradition; from Ayurveda to Chinese herbalism to ancient Egyptian and Greek medicine.
