In this post we are Insh aAllah taking a totally different approach, the anti sunnah group calls it a total fabrication or whatever, the end result is they dont see it authnticated and thus they dont follow it including prayer and other. Just as we verify to non Muslims the authinticity of Quran. Insh a Allah in this post we will verify the authinticity of hadeeth which was never uttered from the desire of our beloved Prophet, teacher and leader Mohamed salla Allah a`alyhee wa sallam
<b>Just ponder and reflect, ask yourself who taught this illiterate man 1400 such well prepared diet for us to follow and benefit of course.

I found this very interesting article on the diet of our beloved Messenger salla Allah a`alyhe wa sallam
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diet of the Messenger sallah Allah a`alyhee wa sallam is a Divine miracle:
Modern medicine, during the last two decades, began to return to the original trend after a long time of fully depending on chemical pharmaceutical. Due to the failure of pharmaceutical to prove totally capable of treating many illness, Prophet's medicine coupled with his diet, then became a focal of attraction. Strange enough that Western countries pioneered towards studying the medicine and diet taken after the Messenger (Sallah Allah a`alyhee wa sallam) which normally made them look into relevant contents of Quran and Sunnah which is guiding mankind to their best even regarding food.
Scientists discovered in Quran and hadeeth several scientific facts that they categorized under Prophet's miracle. When compared to hadeeth and the use of the Divine diet, scientific findings were amazing.
Diet of the Messenger salla Allah a`alyhee wa sallam and protective medicine:
The Messenger salla Allah A`alyhee wa sallam, after completing prayer and dhikr, used to drink a glass of water in which a spoon of honey is well diluted. It was scientifically proven that water gains characteristics of the diluted substance in other words water particles are ordered according to the honey's particles.
Narrated that the Messenger (PAPBUH) said: " I advice you with honey drink" which proves the major benefit of taking honey diluted in water. Modern medicine discovered that honey drink helps alert the digestive system to function in a better manner by increasing the movement cycle of intestines. Honey then serves as a complete nutritious substance due to what it contains of monosacharides, which are not subject to digest. Other compositions, namely; triphosphate adonizine, which is called the muscles fuel, is then generated. Actually this operation motivated scientists to run a chemical operation on water to gain power calling it water treatment. Water gains characteristics of whatever substance added to it. Strange enough that medicine is more advanced in Europe, which is based on the methodology of Prophet's medicine. Using this trend helps to extend the average age.
Modern medicine continues to search in the secrets of the Messenger's diet and how this diet was not haphazardly determined. But it followed well-established scientific rules which modern science is still searching.
Breakfast of the Messenger (PAPBUH):
After he takes the honey drink, he leans for a while performing the abandoned worship, which is pondering upon obeying Allah. After praying Duha, he eats 7 dates dipped in a glass of milk. In a hadeeth narrated by Abu Na`aeem, he mentioned the number 7 saying:" One who eats in the morning seven dates, shall not be affected on that day with poison or witchcraft".
According to scientific evidences, in case of intoxication, the performance level of a certain enzyme increases. It is well noted that the level of that enzyme decreases to the normal rates when one is on 7 dates every morning for one month. Sobhan Allah. This is of the Divine miracles that Allah gave only to His Messenger (PAPBUH).
Of the 7 date related phenomenon proved by modern science, is the telepathy. Scholars of King Abdul Azeez and Cairo Universities ran researches which revealed the same findings. Workers working in mines and involved in lead related activities and other poisonous substances are safe when they eat 7 dates in the morning. Poison effects completely stops. Actually the Jewish scholar Andrea Will (who embraced Islam later on) published in a research titled (7 dates are enough) proofs about intoxication treatment through date eating, He further advises those who are subject to intoxication by virtue of their profession to take them on a daily basis. This fact is also proved through the hadeeth reported by Termidhi that " Dates are from Jannah and contains treatment from poison).
As for the evidence from Quran we find the Ayah:" And shake the trunk of date-palm towards you, it will let fall fresh ripe-dates upon you" (Quran 19:25). Andrea Will supported this fact in his book (Model Health) citing the hadeeth of the Messenger (PAPBUH) around the major benefits of dates for human health.
Diet of the Messenger (PAPBUH):
After taking the breakfast, he continues his activities until Asr prayer. Then he takes the quantity of a full spoon of olive oil mixed with two drops of vinegar and eat it with a hand size of barely bread.
A number of Quran Ayahs stressed benefits of olive oil as in:" lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east (i.e. neither it gets sun-rays only in the morning) nor of the west (i.e. nor it gets sun-rays only in the afternoon, but it is exposed to the sun all day long), whose oil would almost glow forth" (Quran 24:35) and also:" By the fig, and the olive." (Quran 95:1). Modern science proved that using olive oil treated a number of malignant tumors such as that of the bones. Allah Say:" And a tree (olive) that springs forth from Mount Sinai, that grows (produces) oil, and (it is a) relish for the eaters." (Quran 23:20). However, the word relish in Arabic is written sebgh which best translates as dye. The word sebgh here as best explained in Tafseer by most of the scholars that it dyes the body. Modern medicine supported the fact that olive oil contains unsaturated fat acids. Andrea Well states that according to experiment, olive oil dissolves fat by virtue of Allah's Capability. Imagine fat dissolves fat. Olive oil contains a large amount of Omega 3, which treats fat.
It was also proven that olive oil protects against Alzheimer’s and heart diseases. Andrea managed to prove how olive oil penetrated into malignant cells and treats it. He described the word Sebgh that came in Quran as the chromosomes. He further explained that malignant diseases causes a space to happen inside the one cell while olive oil contracts this space and helps to maintain space between cells too. This where Allah's Capability is well manifested in selecting the proper diet of His Messenger (PAPBUH).
Modern science also revealed that vinegar generated from digesting carbohydrates is called Acitoestate while the middle compound of the fat, carbohydrate and protein, remain vinegar. When one takes vinegar, it compensates the deficiency of any of those substances. Also it was revealed that olive oil mixed with vinegar work together to dissolve high-density fat which coats the veins. For this scientists called this mix (olive oil and vinegar) veins bulldozer since it cleans them.
Vinegar does not only dissolve fat, but also changes the dissolved fat into simple ones that could be included into metabolism for the body to benefit.
After that the Messenger would eat a red carrot which grew in the Arab peninsula. Modern science proved that it contains anti oxides, which depresses causes of cancer. It was also proved that carrot helps to increase the DNA and other genetic factors. Sobhan Allah. For this, many doctors advice eating carrots as a source of Vitamin A and refresh genetic factors in the DNA. Carrot delays white hair to grow.
Prophet's dinner:
After completing Esha prayer and before performing late night prayer, he used to eat his third meal the dinner. It contained sour milk with barely bread. Modern science also proved that sour milk when taken for dinner helps dissolving the remaining waste in the colon, break into simple compounds which can be of great benefit.
Recent studies were made by a number of nutrition experts in addition to those made in Cairo and King Abdel Azeez Universities revealed benefits of sour milk when taken in the evening. It helps break the unwanted sediments so that the body may benefit. Matter of fact this is a proof of the miraculous Prophet's teaching. Taking sour milk for dinner is important and it is an easily digested meal that helps the digestive system works better. Many doctors for this advice their patients to eat sour milk for dinner. It helps relief the colon and prevents stomachache. Through such medical information, findings of the study made by Dr. Abdul Baset Sayed Mohamed and published in his book (Treatment using the Prophet’s diet). In his book Sayed explained that most of the Prophet’s diet was beneficial for two reasons. One the nutritious value given to the body and proved by modern science. The other was preventive measurement against diseases. If it proves anything, it proves the Divine miracle of selecting the diet of His Messenger.
At last we conclude that if we ponder carefully we will find that the Prophet (PAPBUH) was the best role model in all aspects of life either food, drinks or clothes. He was a role model and teacher for mankind. Scholars were challenged with his knowledge. While his eloquence exceeded by far well established authors. When he speaks, he speaks only the truth and never speaks of his own desires.
If we carefully study Prophet’s hadeeth about food we will find that he told us thousands of years ago about what modern science was incapable of finding. A number of researchers in this field composed many books containing secrets of the Prophet’s diet and preventive medicine using the Sunnah such as Prophetic Medicine, Reflections upon the Messenger’s life and other books which analyzed this aspect of our beloved Prophet Mohamed Ibn Abudllah Sallah Allah a`alyhee wa sallam.
Modern science shall continue to explore these Prophetic secrets until the hour.
