Scientific research has revealed various benefits to vinegar, and these continue to be discovered. For instance, it has been shown that vinegar, because of its purifying nature, aids in the treatment of diarrhoea. Also, drinking a small amount of vinegar on a consistent basis assists in digestion, as it replenishes the digestive system and kills any parasites in the intestines. Vinegar is also considered a very good antibiotic, and has been proven to effectively treat infected gums and tooth cavities.





The Messenger of God, Muhammad (peace be upon him) was indeed correct in saying: “The best of condiments or condiment is vinegar.” This is merely one indication that what the Prophet (pbuh) told us was beneficial was indeed proven by science to be so, and anything he discouraged us from was scientifically shown to result in some kind of harm.

Dates contain the most significant group of vitamins, minerals and simple sugars …




1. The best food to break fast with

Dates contain the most significant group of vitamins, minerals and simple sugars that can be easily absorbed. It also limit the feeling of hunger and improve the feeling of satiety.

This is what the nutritionists advice us to do nowadays and prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) ordered Muslims to have dates as the first food to break his fast with as it is a blessed food.




2. Dates for managing overweight

Studies had proved that regular eating of dates on daily basis helps the brain to regulate hormones excretion and make the person feels satisfied and accordingly decreases the amount of food he eats.

Therefore, the date is used to manage overweight and prevent excessive weight gain. The scientists considered dates as one of the best foods to treat obesity.




3. Dates as a remedy to many diseases

Scientists had confirmed that date is an ideal remedy for more than hundred diseases, among these diseases is the intestinal disorders, dates help the intestine to function effectively

The richness of date in vitamins, minerals and electrolytes helps the brain in its functions and fills the shortage of these minerals and vitamins in the body which leads to the psychological stability, this means that eating pieces of dates regularly every day will positively affect the emotional or psychological situation making it more stable. Here we say all praises to Allah who has granted us this miracle food as he stated in the Holy Quran: And We have placed therein gardens of the date-palm and grapes, and We have caused springs of water to gush forth therein, (34) That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks? (35) (yaseen).

It has been proved by the nutritionists that effective fasting is based on …..




1. Water & Dates

It has been proved by the nutritionists that effective fasting is based on water and simple sugars of natural sources like the ones available in dates which are considered the best natural sugars.

Studies had given proof that the person who ultimately nourishes himself on dates and water for 20 to 30 days will make his body getting rid of the most of the accumulating toxins and the body will restore his vitality much better than before. The Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) confirmed this rule and stated that whoever wants to break his fast do start with dates as it is blessed, if he doesn't have any, have water as it is purification.





2. Dates for Dieting

The variable and large content of nutrients in dates make it a suitable food to resist hunger.

knowing that the main causative factor of obesity is the continuous sensation of hunger and the large appetite which results in consumption of large amounts of fats and sugars in food, will lead us to the conclusion that the remedy is by eating pieces of dates when feeling hungry as it increases the feeling of satiety , provides the body with needed sugars, regulates the intestinal movement and most importantly it will lower the consumption of food.

Using the date as a remedy for obesity, as confirmed by the scientists, is not new in Islam as the prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) 1400 years ago, informed that when the date is present at home, the people of the home will never experience hunger.

In summary, we can say that eating pieces of dates daily will result in eliminating extra weight by reducing hunger sensation.




3. Dates and Delivery

Scientists says that the womb, which is a relatively large muscle, is in urgent need for natural sugar as a fuel during labor and delivery.

Date is a laxative food, so it is necessary for the pregnant woman to eat dates before delivery in order to help colon and intestine in the elimination process and to activate the womb muscle and regulate its movement which aids in easing delivery.

This is considered one of the miracles which Allah has stated in Quran in his speech to Maryam: " And shake the trunk of the palm-tree toward thee, thou wilt cause ripe dates to fall upon thee. (25: Maryam"

Olive, walnut, fish...New benefits for sight and other things


The following is a new study for the many medical benefits of olive, Nuts and fish.
Let us read……




Omega 3 and our eyes

In a new study, researchers reported that regularly eating fish, nuts, olive oil and other foods containing omega-three fatty acids is associated with a lower risk for the eye disease age-related macular degeneration.

According to the study the American scientists say that by 2020, as many as 3 million Americans are expected to have late-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is the leading cause of severe vision loss among individuals older than 65 in the developed world. Established risk factors include age, genetic markers and smoking.




In one report, Jennifer S.L. Tan, M.B.B.S., B.E., of Westmead Hospital, University of Sydney, Australia, and colleagues studied 2,454 participants in the Blue Mountains Eye Study, which began in 1992 to 1994. At that time, participants completed a food frequency questionnaire that was analyzed to determine their intake of various fatty acids.

After adjusting for age, *** and smoking, eating one serving of fish per week was associated with a 31 percent lower risk of developing early AMD. The association was stronger among individuals with a lower intake of linoleic acid, an unsaturated omega-6 fatty acid found primarily in vegetable oils. Eating one to two servings of nuts per week was associated with a 35 percent lower risk of early AMD.




"In conclusion, our findings support the hypothesis that increased intake of omega-three polyunsaturated fatty acids and regular consumption of fish and/or nuts in the diet may protect against the development of early AMD,” Jennifer said. These fatty acids may protect the eyes by preventing the buildup of plaque in the arteries or reducing inflammation, blood vessel formation and oxygen-related cell damage in the retina.

In another study Elaine W.T Chong, M.D., Ph.D., M.Epi., of the Centre for Eye Research Australia, and colleagues analyzed data from 6,734 individuals age 58 to 69. Between 1990 and 1994, participants' nutrient intakes were assessed from a food frequency questionnaire, and they were tracked for the development of AMD between 2003 and 2006. During the follow-up period, 2,872 cases of early AMD and 88 cases of late AMD developed.




Individuals who consumed higher levels of trans-unsaturated fats-found in baked goods and processed foods-were more likely to have late AMD, whereas those who consumed the most omega-three fatty acids were less likely to have early AMD. "Olive oil intake (100 milliliters or more per week vs. less than 1 milliliter per week) was associated with decreased prevalence of late AMD," Elaine said. "No significant associations with AMD were observed for intakes of fish, total fat, butter or margarine." Elaine added.

Many other benefits of Walnut Oil

Diet rich in walnuts and walnut oil may prepare the body to deal better with stress, according to a team of Penn State researchers who looked at how these foods, which contain polyunsaturated fats, influence blood pressure at rest and under stress.

Previous studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids can reduce low density lipoproteins (LDL) -- bad cholesterol.

"People who show an exaggerated biological response to stress are at higher risk of heart disease," said Sheila G. West, associate professor of bio behavioral health. "We wanted to find out if omega 3-fatty acids from plant sources would blunt cardiovascular responses to stress."

In the previous study the researchers studied 22 healthy adults with elevated LDL cholesterol. All meals and snacks were provided during three diet periods of six weeks each. The researchers found that including walnuts and walnut oil in the diet lowered both resting blood pressure and blood pressure responses to stress in the laboratory.

"This is the first study to show that walnuts and walnut oil reduce blood pressure during stress," said west. "This is important because we can't avoid all of the stressors in our daily lives. This study shows that a dietary change could help our body’s better respond to stress."

Fish oil and pregnancy

Among the most recent researches, scientists believe in the importance of omega-3 fatty acids in both the development of a healthy baby and in the health of the mother.

Omega-3s have been found to be essential for both neurological and early visual development of the baby. However, the standard western diet is severely deficient in these critical nutrients.




This omega-3 dietary deficiency is compounded by the fact that pregnant women become depleted in omega-3s, since the fetus uses omega-3s for its nervous system development. Omega-3s are also used after birth to make breast milk. With each subsequent pregnancy, mothers are further depleted. Research has confirmed that adding EPA and DHA to the diet of pregnant women has a positive effect on visual and cognitive development of the child. Studies have also shown that higher consumption of omega-3s may reduce the risk of allergies in infants.

Physicians believe that Omega-3 deficiency increases the mother's risk for depression. This may explain why postpartum mood disorders may become worse and begin earlier with subsequent pregnancies.

Omega 3 and breast cancer

Scientists say that omega 3 may help in breast cancer. According to recent studies, omega-3 fatty acids are a good source of lignans -- compounds that may have a weak estrogen effect. When a weak estrogen-like substance takes the place of our body’s natural strong estrogen in a breast cell’s estrogen receptor, then the weak substance can act as a relative anti-estrogen.




By acting in this way, lignans might help work against breast cancer that depends on estrogen for its growth.

Sources of omega3

Nutrition experts tell us that we can find the omega3 in the following foods:

Fish (Tuna -Salmon -Catfish-Red snapper-Shark-King mackerel), Nuts and Olive oil . Also, it can be taken in form of pills as a substitute of eating food containing omega3.

Olive, fish and fruits are in Qur’an

Allah Almighty told Muslims 1400 years ago about the many benefits in some plants and fish meat as He Almighty says: (And He it is Who has subjected the sea (to you), that you eat thereof fresh tender meat (i.e. fish)){Sûrat An-Nahl – The Bees -verse14}.

Also in another verse Allah Almighty refers to the benefits in oil by saying: (And a tree (olive) that springs forth from Mount Sinai, that grows oil, and (it is a) relish for the eaters.){Sûrat Al-Mu’minûn -The Believers-verse20}

In another verse Allah Almighty reminds us with all good plants that He Almighty created for us that contains many benefits as He Almighty says: (Then We brought forth for you therewith gardens of date-palms and grapes, wherein much fruit is for you, and whereof you eat.) {Sûrat Al-Mu’minûn -The Believers-verse19}.

Male is not like female: a new scientific vision


Men and women are not alike according to recent scientific studies.
Let us read the following article….….





Recent scientists are saying that all old theories and researches were wrong about the belief that woman’s brain is the same as man’s brain.

All recent studies prove that they are not the same and researchers had reached this conclusion by using Magnetic resonance imaging technology.





One of those scientists is Lawrence Summers, the president of Harvard University who suggested that innate differences in the build of the male and female brain might be one factor underlying the relative scarcity of women in science. His remarks reignited a debate that has been smoldering for a century, ever since some scientists sizing up the brains of both sexes began using their main finding--that female brains tend to be smaller--to bolster the view that women are intellectually inferior to men.

Men and Women Differ In Brain Use during Same Tasks

New research from the University of Alberta shows that men and women utilize different parts of their brains while they perform the same tasks. The results of the research are reported in the journal Neuroimaging.

The study involved volunteers who performed memory tasks, verbal tasks, visual spatial tasks and simple motor tasks while their brain activity was monitored with functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) technology.







"The results jumped out at us," said Emily Bell, a U of A PhD student in psychiatry and lead author of the paper "Sometimes males and females would perform the same tasks and show different brain activation, and sometimes they would perform different tasks and show the same brain activation."

"It is widely recognized that there are differences between males and females, but finding that different regions of the brain are activated in men and women in response to the same task has large potential implications for a variety of different clinical situations," said Dr. Peter Silverstone, a psychiatrist at the U of A and an author of the study.




Silverstone cited the psychiatric condition of major depression as an example of the psychological differences between men and women, because twice as many women as men have this condition. He added that there are many other psychiatric conditions in which the male and female ratio is not equal or in which males and females show different symptoms and different profiles for the same conditions.

"The larger implications of this work, as well as other work pointing in the same direction, is that we may increasingly find out that there are differences in the 'hard wiring' of male and female brains." Said Silverstone

Even at rest, men's and women's brains behave differently

Also, Larry Cahill, an associate professor of neurobiology and behavior, and Lisa Kilpatrick, a former postdoctoral fellow have found that the amygdala, an almond-shaped structure found on both sides of the brain, behaves very differently in males and females while the subjects are at rest.

In men, the right amygdala is more active and shows more connections with other regions of the brain, even when there is no outside stimulus. Conversely, in women, the left amygdala is more connected with other regions of the brain. In addition, the regions of the brain with which the amygdala communicates while a subject is at rest are different in men and women.




Hence those scientists believe that the finding could be a key to determining why gender-related differences exist in certain psychiatric disorders and how to treat a variety of illnesses.

“These findings are intriguing because they provide the first hint of what could be a fundamental difference in how the brain is wired in men and women,” said Cahill

“If, even in a resting state, the brain shows such differences between the sexes, it could have far-reaching implications for our study of certain psychiatric and medical disorders.” He added.

In the said study, researchers used Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans to analyze the brains of 72 healthy, right-handed adults (36 men and 36 women). The subjects were instructed to relax with their eyes closed while being scanned. When the scans were later studied, researchers found that not only was there a difference between the men and women as to which hemisphere's amygdala was more active, but also that the regions of the brain that the amygdala “talked” with were also quite different. In men, the right-hemisphere amygdala showed more connectivity with brain regions such as the visual cortex and the striatum. In contrast, the left amygdala in women was more connected to regions such as the insular cortex and the hypothalamus.





Scientists believe that the finding led to an unexpected discovery: Many brain areas communicating with the amygdala in men are engaged with and responding to the external environment. For example, the visual cortex is responsible for vision, while the striatum coordinates motor actions. Conversely, many regions connected to the left-hemisphere amygdala in women ******* aspects of the environment within the body. Both the insular cortex and the hypothalamus, for example, receive strong input from the sensors inside the body.

“Throughout evolution, women have had to deal with a number of internal stressors, such as childbirth, that men haven’t had to experience” Cahill said. “What is fascinating about this is the brain seems to have evolved to be in tune with those different stressors.” He added.

Before moving to the next point we have to comment on the talks of DR Cahill in the previous phrase, Allah Almighty told us 1400 years ago about what DR/ Cahill and the rest of scientists say on the tongue of prophet Moses as He Almighty says [Musa (Moses)] said: "Our Lord is He Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright."){Sûrat Tâ-Hâ-verse50}.

This means that Allah Almighty the creator of all creatures gave the suitable capabilities for each creature to perform the assigned task in an appropriate way. Glory to Allah!!!!!!!!

The main ten differences between brain of men and women

Experts have identified ten differences between the brain of men and brain of women as the following:

1. Human relationships.

As women tend to communicate more effectively than men, focusing on how to create a solution that works for the group, talking through issues, and utilizes non-verbal cues such as tone, emotion, and empathy whereas men tend to be more task-oriented, less talkative, and more isolated.

2. Left brain vs. both hemispheres.

As Men tend to process better in the left hemisphere of the brain while women tend to process equally well between the two hemispheres. This difference explains why men are generally stronger with left-brain activities and approach problem-solving from a task-oriented perspective while women typically solve problems more creatively and are more aware of feelings while communicating.

3. Mathematical abilities.

An area of the brain called the inferior-parietal lobule (IPL) is typically significantly larger in men, especially on the left side, than in women. This section of the brain is thought to ******* mental mathematical ability, and probably explains why men frequently perform higher in mathematical tasks than do women.

4. Reaction to stress.

Men tend to have a "fight or flight" response to stress situations while women seem to approach these situations with a "tend and befriend" strategy.

5. ********

Two sections of the brain responsible for ******** were found to be larger in women than in men, indicating one reason that women typically excel in ********-based subjects and in ********-associated thinking. Men process ******** in their dominant hemisphere, whereas women process ******** in both hemispheres.

6. Emotions

Women typically have a larger deep limbic system than men, which allows them to be more in touch with their feelings and better able to express them, which promotes bonding with others. Because of this ability to connect, more women serve as caregivers for children.

7. Brain size

Typically, men’s brains are 11-12% bigger than women’s brains. This size difference has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence, but is explained by the difference in physical size between men and women. Men need more neurons to ******* their greater muscle mass and larger body size, thus generally have a larger brain.




8. Pain

Men and women perceive pain differently. In studies, women require more morphine than men to reach the same level of pain reduction. Women are also more likely to vocalize their pain and to seek treatment for their pain than are men. The area of the brain that is activated during pain is the amygdala, and researchers have discovered that in men, the right amygdala is activated and in women, the left amygdala is activated.

The right amygdala has more connections with areas of the brain that ******* external functions while the right amygdala has more connections with internal functions. This difference probably explains why women perceive pain more intensely than do men.

9. Spatial ability

Men typically have stronger spatial abilities, or being able to mentally represent a shape and its dynamics, whereas women typically struggle in this area. Medical experts have discovered that women have a thicker parietal region of the brain, which hinders the ability to mentally rotate objects–an aspect of spatial ability. Research has shown this ability in babies as young as 5 months old, negating any ideas that these abilities were strengthened by environmental influences.

10. Susceptibility to disorders

Because of the way men and women use the two hemispheres of the brain differently; there are some disorders that men and women are susceptible to in different ways. Men are more apt to have dyslexia or other ******** problems. If women have dyslexia, they are more likely to compensate for it.

Man and woman are not alike in Qur’an and Sunnah

Glory to Allah Almighty as He told us about these differences from 1400 years but in a concise statement as He Almighty says: (And the male is not like the female){Sûrat Al-Imrân - The Family of Imran- verse 36}.

Here, we have to confirm that these differences are not distinguishing man over woman as both of them have a task and he or she must perform the task according to the given abilities.

We have to remember the holy verse as Allah Almighty says about that: (Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has made one of them to excel the other) {Sûrat An-Nisâ’- The Women –verse34}.

But, He Almighty gave women a magnificent advantage over men as He Almighty enjoined man to be dutiful and kind to his parents especially the mother. He Almighty says: (And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents. His mother bears him with hardship and she brings him forth with hardship, and the bearing of him){ Sûrat Al-Ahqâf - The Curved Sand-hills -verse15}.

Also the prophet advice men to care about women by saying: “Allah Almighty Recommends to you to take care of your mothers, and then to take care of your fathers and then the closest to you” [narrated by AL- Bukhari].also in another Hadith one day a man asked the prophet” who is the best one to be a closer friend to me? The prophet answered your mother, and the man asked who else? The prophet said your mother and then the man said who else? The prophet said your mother and the man said who else? The prophet said your father” {narrated by Abi- Horraira}.

Secrets of Self (1)




Every 40 seconds someone commits suicide somewhere in this world! Every year 700 thousand people die…..


-1 Science Prolongs Life

A recent study by American researchers (according to the German magazine Focus) states that the average human life has to do with the duration of education, which he spent in his life. The holders of higher education enjoy longer lives than those who spent a short time in learning. It is known that there is a strong relationship between the high standard of living and the increase in the average age. This is due to the ability of the rich to enjoy quality products to maintain their health better. It also provides them with daily comfortable life. Here we remember how Islam has paid attention to acquiring science, the Prophet peace be upon him considered that to be a duty on every Muslim man and woman. The first word revealed in the Quran is (read)!! Al Mighty says, “……Allah will rise up, to (suitable) ranks (and degrees), those of you who believe and who have been granted (mystic) Knowledge. And Allah is well- acquainted with all ye do” [Al-Mujadala (She That Disputeth, The Pleading Woman), 11]




2 -Suicide

Every 40 seconds someone commits suicide somewhere in this world! Every year 700 thousand people die due to different suicides. Scientists confirm in latest scientific research on prevention of suicide that persons with suicidal tendencies must be informed of the seriousness of their work and its consequences and to bring to their attention that suicide is a work that ends with painful and tragic consequences. This method is very effective in preventing them from committing suicide. It is strange that this is what the Quran did exactly! Al Mighty says, “Nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily Allah hath been to you Most Merciful! 30. If any do that in rancour and injustice,- soon shall We cast them into the Fire: And easy it is for Allah.” [An-Nisa' (Women)- 29-30] It was found that suicide rate among Muslims is almost close to zero; this shows the greatness of Islam in his teachings that prohibit suicide, which contributed strongly to reduce this ratio, whereas the highest rate of suicide is among atheists!! Praise be to Allah for the blessing of Islam


.

3- Hope

Psychologists found that positive thinking is the most important and more effective in the treatment of diseases than medical treatment! Secular doctors failed to give hope or happiness to a person who oversaw the death, but the teachings of the Quran gives us this happiness whatever the circumstances are. Consider with me to the most beloved peace be upon him on his deathbed, what did he do? Was he sad? Was he desperate? Was he worried, depressed or afraid? Never! His daughter Fatima, may Allah be pleased about said: “O’ Calamity” and he said: “No calamity on your father after today”!! Look at this optimism, the prophet at the moment of death was happy, joyful, to meet his Lord, what about us who believe, do you act upon this merciful Prophet?



4- True Happiness

The positive teachings that man received and exercised have a significant impact on happiness and longevity more than the impact of medication and medical care! Therefore, the Quran is full of positive teachings and this reminds me of the story of the prophet Jacob after he lost his sons Joseph and his brother, he did not despair of the mercy of Allah. Look at how he addressed his sons: "O my sons! go ye and enquire about Joseph and his brother, and never give up hope of Allah.s Soothing Mercy: truly no one despairs of Allah.s Soothing Mercy, except those who have no faith." [Yusuf (Joseph), 87] It is a sign full of mercy and full of optimism, not despair. Look at how the Quran considered that despair as disbelieving in Allah Almighty!! Why? To give us a strong message that despair of the mercy of Allah is forbidden in Islam and this was practiced by the early Muslims who were given force to spread Islam in the world


!

-5Satisfaction addresses diseases

Psychologists recently realized the importance of self-satisfaction and life satisfaction and the importance of this in the treatment of many mental disorders. In a study published on the magazine "Happiness Studies", it turns out that there is a close relationship between satisfaction and happiness. Dealing with reality with the consent of the same conviction makes a person happier, while the man who complains and is not satisfied with what he was given, we find him living more miserable and his immune system is weak. This explains why thinking about diseases, fear and sadness and negative thinking, all this increases the risk of chronic diseases! The Prophet peace be upon him is the most optimistic of mercy of Allah, and who encouraged us to embrace optimism and satisfaction, and he says: "Pleased with Allah as Lord and Islam as a religion and the Quran as a guide” Whoever utters it, will be Allah duty to please on the Day of Resurrection!

Every 40 seconds someone commits suicide somewhere in this world! Every year 700 thousand people die…..




6- Benefits of Optimism


In a new scientific research, scientists revealed that optimism increases the body's resistance to diseases and gives human happiness in his life. This is a great prophetical behavior, because Our Lady Aisha( may Allah be pleased about) when asked about the ethics of the Prophet, she said, "His character was the Qur'an", he has applied the Quran fully and therefore he gained true happiness. We must imitate him to have the Quran as our ethics. And where medicine is unable to give consent for the reality we find the Qur'an gives us this consent, the Almighty says: "…. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you." [Al-Baqara (The Cow), 216] The Prophet peace be upon him like good omen, who taught our prophet this behavior advocated by Western scientists today!?







7- Optimism prolongs life


A team of scientists found evidence to substantiate that optimism has beauties of one's life. A team of American psychologists found that persons with peace in mind and optimistic about their progress in age, live longer than their peers who are so concerned. Now, consider this verse, Allah Al Mighty says: "So lose not heart, nor fall into despair: For ye must gain mastery if ye are true in Faith." [Al 'Imran (The Family Of 'Imran), 139] It is a verse that urges the believer to positive behavior, not through weakness and sorrow. Scientists say that a human sense of weakness weakens the immune system, as well as the sense of permanent sadness causes various mental disorders. However, we do not have to say other than Subhanallah



!


-8 Disadvantages of Sorrow


Recent studies confirm that grief affects human health and weakens one’s immune system! Therefore, the Qur'an tells us that a believer should not feel sad because sadness is a negative behavior, even if we think about the word (sad) in the Qur'an we always find it preceded by the word (do not), and this indicates that the believer should not feel sad. Consider with me these prophetic words that came in the most difficult conditions experienced by the Prophet peace be upon him is in the cave: "….. he said to his companion, "Have no fear, for Allah is with us" [At-Tawba (Repentance, Dispensation), 40] Look at how the prophet taught Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him not to feel sad ... I swear…. that these words can only come from a genuine prophet who knows he was sent by the Creator of the universe be glorified and exalted



.


-9Asking Forgiveness


Noah has been ordering his people to say prayers for forgiveness, he was saying to them and repeating: "Saying, 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft-Forgiving; 11. "'He will send rain to you in abundance; 12. "'Give you increase in wealth and sons; and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers (of flowing water)". [Nuh (Noah), 10-12] This indicates that who asks Allah forgiveness, Allah will give him many things, including: that Allah will forgive his sins. HE will give him rain to grow crops, fruits and plants. HE will bless him with wealth and children and this is the result of asking forgiveness. Shouldn't we ask forgiveness and say, as the prophet Mohammed peace be upon him taught us: «I ask forgiveness from Allah Almighty"






10- Stability in the marriage


Researchers in the field of psychology confirm on the importance of a man to have a wife, and say that a girl near him will always reduce stress significantly and reduce anxiety and frustration. In a recent study they found that men when they travel, especially frequent travel for work, trade, or study, the risk of heart disease to be infected is very low when the man is accompanied by his wife! They also found that married men are better able to focus and create, while married women are more capable of giving. And the truth of Allah when he says, "And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect. " [Ar-Rum (The Romans, The Byzantines), 21

11- A good word is charity


The researchers said that the speech which is full of tenderness, passion and compassion has a stunning effect on others, especially between spouses, and reduces to a large extent the problems between them. There are scientific studies that confirm that good speech gives human higher immune system. Therefore, the greatest prophet, peace be upon him, told us that the good word is charity! Will we think about every word before we say it?! Al Mighty says, " Seest thou not how Allah sets forth a parable? - A goodly word like a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the heavens,- of its Lord. So Allah sets forth parables for men, in order that they may receive admonition." [Ibrahim (Abraham), 24]
-12 Coeducation


Newspaper Daily Mail wrote an article about the need to separate children from each other in primary education because information is differently being treated for boys and girls. They found also that the child's focus to be greater when a child is placed with children of the same ***, i.e. male children in a row and female children in another row, and so they do better scientifically. Dr. Leonard Sax wrote a book on this subject, trying to prove that co-education is useless. And it reduces competitiveness and opportunities for creativity, and that it is necessary to separate the sexes from the first phase of pre-school, at the five years of age. Because the speed of learning differs between the sexes, and speed of maturation of each differs as well. Here, we remember the teachings of our religion, which recommended the need to segregate the sexes from each other in education and in sleep, the prophet said, " And separate them in their beds" And Al Mighty says, "And no wise is the male Like the female.

13- Treatment with Joy


Some researchers emphasize that positive emotions may directly affect health by altering the chemical balance in the body. Perhaps the reason in this link is the optimistic trend that helps in promoting human health through the likelihood of the success of these people in life. We remember the sayings of Al Mighty: "Say: "In the bounty of Allah. And in His Mercy,- in that let them rejoice": that is better than the (wealth) they hoard." [Yunus (Jonah), 58] This verse tells us that the believer rejoices mercy of Allah; this joy is a kind of positive behavior as a kind of optimism, which gives the believer happiness, longevity and increases the body's immunity against disease. Should we be happy with compassion and grace of Allah?







14- Anger


When man over-reacts, changes in his body occur and the important of them is the secretion of Adrenaline Hormone which affects heart rate, oxygen consumption disorder and hypertension. These symptoms are exacerbated when the man is standing because his body muscles are tight and this increases secretion of adrenaline. If the angry person sat or slept, the proportion of this hormone falls. If the man remembers meeting Allah and seeking refuge with Him from the evil of Satan and he realizes that this anger is the work of the devil his psychological status will return to stability. Anger is an emotional stress resulting from the failure to accept an idea or to insist on a certain idea, regardless of whether it is right or wrong. This is successful medical treatment the Prophet (peace be upon him) talked about: If any of you becomes angry and he is standing, let him sit down, so that his anger will go away. If iit does not go away, let him lie down.” [Reported in the 'Musnad' of Ahma(







-15 Risks of Anger


A man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: Advice me, the Prophet said: “Do not get angry” and he said repeatedly “Do not get angry” [Reported in Bukhari]. There is new scientific research to prove true the words of the Prophet, his warning, and the grave dangers that result from anger and psychological emotions. When one is angry, his heart pumps large amounts of blood which lead to hypertension, besides, repetition of these emotions over time may lead to cancer and heart attacks. Hence, it shows to us the importance of the advice of the Prophet (peace be upon him): “Do not get angry” Some recent research shows that the repetition of anger constantly shortens human life because of mental and physical illnesses. Will we imitate the Prophet of Mercy and address this phenomenon?

Treatment by grapes

Researchers proved that grape seeds have effective properties in fighting cancerous cells in skin, breast, intestine, lung, stomach and prostate. Also they found that seeds, leaves and juice of grapes plus grapes itself all have numerous health benefits. Some of these benefits are: to prevent teeth decay, eliminates bacteria in the mouth, activate human’s memory and also the liver. Allah Almighty says about grapes: “And a sign for them is the dead land. We give it life, and we bring forth from it grains, so that they eat thereof* and we have made therein gardens of date-palms and grapes, and we have caused springs of water to gush forth therein *So that they may eat of the fruit thereof - and their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks?" (Sûrat Yâ-Sîn -verse33-35).

The Ideal period for breast feeding



Scientific researches still insists on the great importance of breast feeding, What did Allah Almighty tell us about that in the holy Qur’an?.........




Scientists proved that the baby must fed by his mother's breast for two whole years, and that is the ideal period. Dr Margaret Chan the WHO Director-General say that exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a child's life, ranks among the most effective interventions for improving child survival and health.





Researchers say that Mothers need support not only to begin breastfeeding within one hour of birth, but also to sustain exclusive breastfeeding for six months, and continue breastfeeding for two years or beyond, as well as giving other nutritious foods.

Allah Almighty told us this medical advice 1400 years ago by saying: (The mothers shall give suck to their children for two whole years, (that is) for those (parents) who desire to complete the term of suckling,)(Sûrat Al-Baqarah-verse233).We must notice that He Almighty didn’t only say two years but He said a two whole years.

The question is who told our prophet this recent scientific fact which is published by the most advanced medical and health association in the twenty one century?.
