The Basis of Tib e Nabwi: The Holistic Approach towards Health
Tib e Nabwi is an all-round method emphasizing the equilibration of the human body, mind, and soul rather than another method of treating an ailing human body. According to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), one should always use natural remedies and keep his lifestyle healthy and moving towards wellness. The readers will understand through Ibn Qayyum’s work how these remedies are supportive of the principles of Islam, and in what ways they can be followed today in the best possible manner.
Paramount to Tib e Nabwi is the reliance on substances of natural occurrence to cure diseases through honey, olive oil, black seed, and dates. These are well-known substances Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was familiar with and whose medicinal values he had acknowledged. The principle mandates a return to nature because the remedies that can solve the problem are simple but potent.
Nutrition in Tib e Nabwi: Foods are Medicines
In Tib e Nabwi, Ibn Qayyum has discussed a very vital role nutrition plays for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. He asserted under Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H how wholesome foods would enter the body for strengthening immunity and making the body fit and healthy. Dates, milk, honey, and olive oil, for example, have also been identified to show good healthful effects.
For instance, dates are a powerful food at Tib e Nabwi. It is laden with many vitamins, minerals, as well as fibers that would give good energy supply and enrichment. He advised Prophet Muhammad to treat the illness by using dates for remedying, which, therefore, is the remedial digestive health and strength of the body.
Olive oil is another favourite that is met in the teachings of Tib e Nabwi. There is a traditional use of this oil for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory features. The Prophet (PBUH) used to apply this oil on his body as well as would consume it. According to Ibn Qayyum, benefits of the use of olive oil include improving circulation; reducing inflammation and promoting healthy skin.
Significance of Personal Hygiene in Tib e Nabwi
Hygiene stands out amongst the main principles of Tib e Nabwi. Indeed, argues the Prophet Muhammad, purity is not only spiritually required but also bodily. Wudu, or ablution before prayer, is an example where the soul gets purified and so does the body.
Ibn Qayyum has discussed how the Prophet’s practices of cleanliness, including brushing his teeth with miswak, maintaining oral hygiene, and purification with water contribute to health. These are simple practices but effective measures for a clean lifestyle, free from diseases.
Some common practices practiced in Tib e Nabwi include routine hand washing, utilization of natural products like miswak or toothbrushes, and even the use of perfumes and oils for the sweet scent. All of these and many more have been for hundreds of years, yet still ensure a healthy life.

Tib e Nabwi is not only a physical exercise but also involves spiritual healing. Ibn Qayyum explains that no physical treatment could guarantee health, but it is also the spiritual treatments that follow the teaching of Islam and are as effective for diseases of health. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught people how to move to the state with most inner peace and through less stress to inner peace.
According to Tib e Nabwi
Salah or prayer is considered one of the strongest weapons that heals mental and spiritual diseases. Performing Nazila (regular prayers) gives a sense of peacefulness from within as well as connects the human being with Allah. This strengthens the mind with positivity, hence healing it by reducing anxiety and stress. While advising people on various topics, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also stated that people should find refuge in duas to avoid any kind of harm or illness.
Because the Quran is regarded as medicine for the soul as well as for the body, Ibn Qayyum places great emphasis on the recitation of specific verses within the Quran in order to repel harm, cure the sick, and ward off all types of evil. Thus, the verse “And We sent down in the Quran such things that have healing and mercy for the believers” (Quran 17:82) is memorized according to the healing brought about by the Quran.
Healing Power of Honey and Black Seeds in Tib e Nabwi From the sea of natural remedies available to the people, honey and black seed can be rated as particularly essential. Two products that have been quite glorified in the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) referred to this duo as potent remedies for numerous diseases.
According to the Quran
Honey is identified as a medicine: “There comes forth from their bellies a fluid of varying colors wherein is healing for men indeed. Some of them also believe in other similar devilish things, and their consciences approve. While others do tend to restrain, some who are wrong and not very ascetic; such people will be required. They will be trotting around here and there till a time far away”. Honey is antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal. Honey was used for ages, applied to wounds and digestive issues, and cured the respiratory system. Ibn Qayyum has described honey as a medicine to treat problems such as sore throats, coughs, and digestive problems.
Black seed-Nigella sativa is commonly referred to as “Habbatus Sauda”. It has multiple mentions in the hadith for its medicinal purpose. The Prophet Muhammad stated, “Use this black seed since in it, there is healing for every illness except poisoning.” It was discovered that black seed contains anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial agents. It is applied in the treatment of diverse maladies among humans: asthma, allergy, and many skin diseases.
