Miracle Foods from Allah: Where Are They?

The Qur’an Surat Al-A’raf 7: 160 says, “Eat of the good foods We have provided for you.”

The question may arise: If Allah has provided us with so many good foods, why are so many people starving and many more suffering from malnutrition?

The answer may lie in our ignorance of the abundance that has been sent to us by Allah.

Allah has blessed us with many “miracle foods”. They provide us with incredible amounts of concentrated nutrition and healing. Many of these foods can grow in any environment.

The modern market, however, is marketing many of them as “super foods,”. And in the process, it charges many times their actual costs. This creates the illusion that healthy eating is expensive. On the other hand, there are agencies that try to provide these foods to world’s poverty stricken areas.

The Qur’an hints at some of these secrets when it says, “It is he who has made the sea subject… that ye may seek (thus) of the bounty of Allah” ( Surat Yunus 10:14). And “From within their bodies, a drink of varying colors comes. Wherein is healing for me: Verily this is a sign for those who give thought” (Surat An-Nahl 16:69).

In fact, most super foods grow in nature and require minimal planting or harvesting. Some of the most readily available are bee pollen, spirulina (algae), kelp, royal jelly, honey, wheat grass, flax seeds, and alfalfa and other sprouts.

Among herbs that work as sustenance foods is marshmallow root. The Chinese, Assyrians, Egyptians, and Greeks have used it in times of famine.

These “miracle foods” are readily available sources of food for famine-hit countries. They can provide a nutritional boost to people who fast or suffer have malnutrition and chronic illnesses.

Many, such as bee pollen and algae, are used across species lines so we aren’t inventing the idea of super foods – we are simply rediscovering them.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...

Taqwa – Living the Main Purpose of Ramadan

Taqwa is a major purpose for the month of Ramadan. The people of taqwa are those who do the things that they are commanded and avoid the things which Allah has made prohibitive. And evidently, to reach a state of taqwa requires vigilance, it requires patience and sincerity. The verse is pertaining to fasting I found in a single set of verses in chapter 2 starting at verse 183: O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. ( 2:183 ) A Collective Act of Worship Allah is telling us that fasting has been made obligatory and then Allah tells us that just as it was prescribed for those before us. We often get asked this question in Ramadan, “how’s the fast going for us?” And if we gave ourselves a moment to think about it, we see that Allah Most High has made the fast inside the month of Ramadan easy for us because we know that there is a collective spirit to fasting; we know that we’re not alone in this ...
