Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): 9 Healthy Habits That Science Later Proved (OP)
1. Early Riser: Prophet Muhammad slept early and woke up with the Adhan of Fajr each day. Being an early riser has scientifically been correlated with better productivity, as well as better mental health in general. So, waking up early may be hard but with baby steps, even if it’s just waking up 15 minutes earlier to start with, you can begin improving your quality of life.
2. Eating Less: The practice of eating less to prevent sickness and disease was emphasized by Prophet Muhammad , and now backed heavily by science much later. The Islamic concept ‘1/3 for your food, 1/3 for your liquids, and 1/3 for your breath’ matches very closely to the Japanese ‘hara hachi bu’ concept, which means eat until you are only 80% full. Read more about the health benefits of the ‘hara hachi bu’ practice here: http://thedailycrisp.com/is-calorie-...-to-longevity/
3. Eating Slowly: We now know that it takes our body 20 minutes to send signals to our brain that it is full. Slow eating will help you eat less food and improve your digestion, and it is a practice Muhammad did himself and strongly advocated. Read more about slow, mindful eating here: http://thedailycrisp.com/eat-mastering-mindful-eating/
4. Mindful Eating: ‘Eat together and not separately, for the blessing is associated with the company’. The prophet stressed this, and today sharing and enjoying food has been proven to reduce stress, improve family and romantic relationships, and build healthy eating habits within children.
5. Water: ‘Do not drink water in one breath, but drink it in two or three breaths’, is the manner by which Muhammad drank water. Science today proves that when a person drinks too much water in a short period of time they can experience headaches, imbalance in blood electrolyte levels and sometimes dizziness too. Drinking slowly helps you actually absorb the fluid and get the most benefit out of it.
6. Pomegranates: Pomegranates are thought to have been the prophet’s favorite fruit, and modern scientific research has proven pomegranates to be one of the healthiest foods on the planet. They contain manganese, which helps in the formation of bone structures during the metabolic process, and potassium, which aids in maintaining cellular function and keeps a balance in fluid levels. They are also potent in flavonoids and polyphenols, antioxidants which protect our bodies against heart disease.
7. Fasting: Recent evidence is showing that not just the food we eat, but our eating timings and patterns also have a profound impact on our health. Fasting was a regular practice of Muhammad’s life, not just during Ramadan. He would fast until Maghrib every Monday and Thursday, and also on the 13th, 14th and 15th of each month. This is similar to the intermittent fasting practice, which has been proven to balance hormone levels, prevent oxidative stress, and reduce overall inflammation. When you think about it, the less food you put into your body the less it focuses on digestion and the more it can focus on healing itself from certain ailments!
8. Dates: Dates are the perfect foods to break your fast as they stabilize your blood sugar levels, rebalance blood electrolyte levels, and help kick start your digestive system in preparation for food. Prophet Muhammad also recommended dates to be eaten in the lead up to childbirth. Dates are now proven to boost oxytocin production in your body and speed up labor.
9. Staying Active: Fulfilling three of the five pillars of Islam requires that Muslims be of sound health and fitness; prayer in itself is a form of exercise that requires movement of your body’s muscles and joints. Good health is also necessary if you intend to fast or participate in Hajj. Prophet Muhammad strongly encouraged physical exercise and told parents to encourage physical activity in their children too by ‘teaching them swimming, horse riding, and archery’.
Hahahah sister reading your comment at the bold part gave me a good laugh, because it reminded me of those anti-Islam guys. Science has told us that eating pork is bad for your health. There are even more increasing scientific researches concluding that besides being unhealthy it increases the chance of certain fatal diseases. Yet when i read the comment people made about one of those scientific researches..Sub'han'Allah..if Allah makes somebody blind for the truth no matter what you tell them out of arrogance and pride they wont follow it.
You read comments like..i do not care that pork meat is bad for me..it is tasty
I sometimes made a comment referring to Judaism, Islam and certain Christian sects that agree we should not eat pork. The amount of ignorance and hatred you get....SUB'HAN'ALLAH. These kind of moments really strengthens ones imaan because these moments i think about what Allah(swt) has said in the Qur'an if he leds people astray nobody can guide them. These people follow their desires even if it is the means that will be the cause of your death in acceleration. Yet somehow..this is their paradise..but they want to accelerate it by doing things that are bad for their health...o_O!!?? no logic whatsoever.
Jazakallahu khairan for the reminder.
our belief in Allah is blind......so everything in Islam does not need any logic ...we believe in the invisible and trust whatever he has delivered us....by sending our righteous prophet Muhammad (SAW)...
and the almighty Quran .....I have an interesting story but I will share it some other times right now I have to go and recite the Quran ....as it is time to do so....

Well logically speaking it is your choice to either blindly believe in Allah or by logic, rationality and reason believe in Allah.
Belief in it self is rather a conclusion based on something else. I myself born as a Muslim turned in to a atheist and by own research alhamdulillah became Muslim by choice. I can by logic, rationality and reason determine the existence of Allah(swt). Based on this research i believe in things that i cannot see, as there are angels but i have never seen one neither will i be able to see one with my own eyes in this life if it is by the will of Allah(swt).
This is for example the argument of many atheist, what they cannot see they dismiss it as nonsense. When you give them logic, rationality and reason with the outcome of that being the existence of Allah(swt)..that gives them a whole different perspective. Other religions lack the intellectual debate, Islam doesn't.
I am currently of opinion that blind believe in Allah(swt) would come when the time of dajjal would come. He will use logic, rationality and reason with things that you can see. That is the moment that we Muslims close our eyes and blindly believe in Allah(swt). To reach this, is to strengthen ones imaan...blind believe..trying to reach ihsaan level. As if you see Allah but you cannot see Him, but surely He sees you. Full submission.

Anyways, enough of your time wasted. .
Sorry ..I don't know what to say... as a born Muslim I have never let any logic come across my religion....and I believe everyone ...has their own opinion..and has his own way and purpose of life...whether he/she is a Muslim ....Christian or atheist...I don't know more....may Allah guide us all....

When Ad-dajjal comes, you have to believe in Allah "blindly". I.e. Ad-dajjal will show you a river, belie the world, but never Allah and His messenger .
Belie your senses, don't believe them. When Ad-dajjal with two rivers, one with lava, the other with cold water. Your senses will tell you, take the water, but you should go to the fire / lava. It is all an illusion. The cold water, will be scolding water (afaik correct me please) and the Lava will be good water.
lThis is not easy - this requires you to go against the whole world. People will call you "mad" "blind" "heretic" "fanatic" "extremist".
They will believe their senses without realising that they are being fooled.
Allahu alam.
Meaning of Shirk according to The Qur'an
" Worshipping anyone or anything besides Allah " or " distributing anything exclusive to Allah, to anyone or anything else "
Meaning of Tawheed according to The Qur'an Worshipping none but Allah. Affirming whatever is exclusive to Him, Him alone.

Weirdd because yesterday, when I prayed, everytime I went into sujood, my lower back hurt a bit. And when I stood up again from sujood, it hurt again..
1 day later today, it does not hurt lol.

Allhumdulillah...exactly brother...As the prophet says that this world is a prison for the believer because Janna is waiting for them ...and Janna for non believer because there is no Janna for them in there....
So we All may be called mad ....extremists and all those ...
But we spend 0-100 years in this prison and inshallah will win the akhirae.....may Allah bless us with pleasure of seeing him...and entering Jannat ul firdous....

Besides that i have also heard he will have a paradise and hell. His hell is paradise and his paradise is hell. Allah(swt) knows when he will arrive, but the looks of it looking at the world today..it is going faster and faster towards his direction. The amount of corruption is increasing by the day. Just recently i watched a program that try to find out what the origin is of certain products and how they are made. They went to the grocery store and bought certain amount of milk from different brands. Later on they revealed that many brands come from the same factory. They also went to the factory and showed the EXACT same milk being used by different brands. The cheapest to the more expensive brand. EXACT SAME MILK!!
