Talbina: an Islamic recipe to get rid of sadness, grief and depression

 


Aishaa (may Allah be pleased with her) used to recommend talbina for the sick and for which suffered too by a dead person. "She (may Allaah be pleased with her) said:" I heard that the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa Salaam) said: "the talbina gives rest to the patient's heart and makes it active and helps relieve your pain and sorrow." [Sahih al - Bukhari (5325)]. 

Aishaa (may Allah be pleased with her) said that whenever one of their dying relatives, women is met and is dispersed (returned to their homes), except for relatives and close friends. She (may Allah be pleased with her) was with them in order to prepare a pot of talbina. After the Tharid (a dish prepared with meat and bread) is prepared and the talbina poured over it. "Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) would say (to women)," eat it, because I have heard that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa Salaam) said: "the talbina relieves the patient's heart and dispenses it some of their sadness." [Sahih al - Bukhari (5058)].


 Hisham's father (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to recommend the talbina and although she was used to say that you would not like (for the patient), was beneficial." " [Sahih al - Bukhari (5326)].


 The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa Salaam) said: "I encourage you to use what you don't like, but beneficial (Talbina) for the soul of Muhammad one whose hand is, cleanses the stomach of one of you as you clean the dirt in the face with water." [Hakim (7455) Mustadrak, Sahih Dhahabi as mentioned in ' Talkhees ", extracted from Maktaba Shaamilah, see also Mustadrak (8245), whose chain is in the condition of Bukhari as Dhahabi mentioned"].


 Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: "If someone from the family of the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa Salaam) is sick, the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa Salaam) said: ' the (talbina) relieves the heart of pain and clean the diseased heart as well as what cleans the dirt from your face with water." [Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maja (3445), Hasan hadeeth].


 Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa Salaam) said: "you should eat profitability even if it is unpleasant to eat (Talbina), i.e. the stock." If any member of the family of the Messenger of Allah was ill, the pot would continue in the fire until one of two things, either the person recovered or died "." [Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maja (3446) Hasan hadeeth]. 

For those who don't know who Aisha was she was the wife of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.

Grey hair: its meaning, causes and treatment according to Islam sources

Grey hair: what does it mean, what are the causes and remedies and is it age related Perhaps it's not the most enlightening or uplifting subject but I thought it an interesting subject to talk about. I don't have grey hair but hope to share what I know about why it occurs, if it can be prevented and reversed and what it means. Since some stereotypes are that grey hair only sprouts after forty. Yet we see people in their thirties or even younger with grey hair at times.  At other times some people don't go grey until their sixties or not at all. Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him did not go grey until he was over sixty and this is probably how it should be if we looked after ourselves. It will be interesting to discuss why he may not have had many grey hairs at his passing at 63 years old. Grey hair is said to be one of the first signs of aging, and is often said to coincide with muscle weakening, general weakening of eye sight, hearing and physical strength.   It can some...

Freedom of Speech, human rights and Islam: its reality and limitations

  Freedom of speech and its limits: comparing human rights law and Islamic law We are often told that modern society has, “freedom of speech.” Freedom of speech is a human right under article 19 of the human rights act and international law as formulated by the UN.   Some countries have freedom of speech as part of constitutional law. Freedom of speech, free speech and freedom of expression are often used interchangeably. The term covers activities that involve seeking, imparting knowledge or finding out knowledge regardless of the method used.

Stress: Islamic advice to deal with it

Stress has been defined as feelings of tension due to psychological, emotional or physical factors. Most people, particularly in the modern world experience some degree of stress. We feel stressed from our jobs, from dealing with difficult people and customers and having to meet deadlines, at school or university. Anything that makes us feel tension can be a source of stress. We can feel stressed in our relationships at times. Maybe we don't feel understood or we have unmet needs. Distress is a negative type of stress, and describes the state of someone experiencing tension. We tend to feel stressed when we feel we are not in control of a situation. The less control we feel the more stressed we feel. New events, even positive, such as moving house, getting married, having a child or starting or leaving a job can all make us feel stressed. Unemployment, lack of provisions and being in unsuitable jobs or relationships can all make us feel stressed. When we feel unde...
