Olive oil in the perspective of medical quran is not just food, but natural health therapy is full of blessings. There are 6 verses in the Qur'an, find the benefits of olives for the heart, brain, skin, to the protection of cancer in this article. The Secret of Healthy Prophet!

The efficacy of olive oil for health

Quran Cordoba - In the world of modern health that continues to develop, olive oil remains standing as one of the best natural gifts ever known to humans. In fact, long before research and scientific journals raised his name, the Qur'an had already called olives as a tree full of blessings.

This is what makes olives an important part of the study of medical quran -the concept of treatment and health inspired by the holy verses of the Qur'an.

Allah SWT said in Surah An-Nur verse 35,

يُّوْقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُّبٰرَكَةٍ زَ over وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌۗ

"... which is turned on with oil from a blessed tree, namely olive trees that grow not in the east (only) and not in the west (only), whose oil is almost illuminated, even though it is not touched by fire."

 

The mention of olives is also contained in the letter An-Nahl verse 11

يُنْۢبِتُ لَكُمْ بِهِ الزَّرْعَ وَالزَّيْتُوْنَ وَالنَّخِيْلَ وَاitor ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَّتَفَكَّرُوْنَ

"With (rainwater), he grows for you to plant, olives, dates, wine and all kinds of fruits. Really, in that way there really is a sign (the greatness of God) for those who think."

These verses are not just metaphors of faith, but also show how olives are a symbol of balance, blessings, and light-both spiritually and healthy health.

 

Sunnah Rasulullah SAW: Eat and apply olive oil

The Prophet Muhammad SAW advised his people to use olive oil, both by eating or applied. In a hadith, the Messenger of Allah said:

كُلُوا الزَّيْتَ وَادَّهِنُوا بِهِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ شَجَsp

"Eat olive oil and apply it, because in fact it comes from a blessed tree." (HR Tirmidzi)

This suggestion is now proven to have a strong scientific foundation. In the context of the medical quran , the hadith is not just a guide for worship, but a healthy life guide from the sky. Olives contain various active compounds that are able to maintain and restore the health of the human body as a whole.

Other verses of the Koran explain the benefits of olives in Surah Al-An'am verse 99 and 141;

وَّالزَّيْتُوْنَ وَالرُّمَّانَ مُشْتَبِهky وَيَنْعِهٖ ۗاِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكُمْ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّؤْمِنُوْنَ

“…And (we also release) olives and pomegranates are similar and not similar. Pay attention to the fruit at the time of fruit, and cook. Really, in this way there are signs (God's power) for those who believe.”

 

۞ وَهُوَ الَّذِيْٓ اَنْشَاَ جَنّٰتٍ مَّعْرُوْشٰتٍ وَّغَيْرَ مَعْرُوْشٰتٍ وَّالنَّخْلَ وَالزَّرْعَ مُخْتَلِ اُكُلُهٗ وَالزَّيْتُوْنَ وَالرُّمَّانَ مُتَشَابِهky وَاٰتُوْا حَقَّهٗ يَوْمَ حَصَادِهٖۖ وَلَا تُسpet

"And he is the one who makes plants that are creeping and non-vines, date palm trees, plants that are diverse , olives and similar pomegranates (shape and color) and are not similar (taste). Eat the fruit if it bears fruit and gives their rights (zakat) at the time of picking the results, but do not overdo it.

Olive oil content: not just fat

Olive oil is not only a spice kitchen, but a medicine that is packed by nature. The composition consists of:

  • Monounsaturated fat fatty acids: healthy fats that can reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL).
  • Polyphenol: Antioxidant and anti -inflammatory compounds that fight inflammation and cancer.
  • Vitamins E and K: cell protectors from damage, accelerate skin regeneration, and maintain elasticity of blood vessels.
  • Squalene and oleuropein: Anti-aging agents who support the health of the skin, brain, and liver.

In the concept of medical quran , the combination of these compounds makes olive oil not only healthy, but also calm the soul.

Concrete proof of the blessing of olives

Various modern studies strengthen the position of olive oil as "superfood" as well as "superhealer." Here are some studies that strengthen their features:

  • Harvard Study: Consumption of 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil every day can reduce the risk of premature death by 19%.
  • Spanish study: Mediterranean diet that relies on olive oil reduces the risk of heart disease by 30%.
  • Journal of European Cancer: Olive polyphenols are proven to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, especially breast and large intestinal cancer.

Not only that, olive oil also supports brain health, improves memory, and stabilizes mood. For those of you who focus on Islamic and holistic lifestyles, olive oil is part of the endeavor to protect the body as a mandate from God.

Olive: Mini Pharmacy from Nature

The phrase that "olive oil can replace pharmacies" is not a figment. Olive oil serves as:

  • Anti-cholesterol: Reducing the risk of blockage of blood vessels.
  • Heart protector: stabilize blood pressure and heart rhythm.
  • Natural skin care: soothes irritation, accelerate wound healing, and moisturizes the skin.
  • Supporting the digestive system: facilitate metabolism, prevent constipation, and protect the intestine.
  • Cognitive enhancement: protect the brain from aging and Alzheimer's.

In medical quran , olive oil works thoroughly: not only cure one part, but maintains the harmony of the entire body system.

Best consumption time & safe guide

To get the maximum benefit from olive oil, follow the following guidelines:

  • Best consumption time: Morning on an empty stomach, for maximum detoxification and absorption.
  • Safe dose: 1-2 tablespoons per day.
  • Direct consumption is better: Avoid heating olive oil so that the compound is not damaged.
  • Choose Extra Virgin Olive Oil: This is the highest and the purest quality.

Olive oil does not cause obesity during consumption naturally. In fact, replacing ordinary cooking oil with olives can help reduce abdominal fat.

Spirituality and olive light

Olives not only are physically healthy, but also bring light in life. In surah at-tin, Allah said:

وَالتِّيْنِ وَالزَّيْتُوْنِۙ

"For the sake of (fruit) tin and (fruit) olive ..." (QS. At-Tin: 1)

This verse is a symbol that olives are foods that contain high spiritual values, carrying light ( nur ) and calm for those who practice it.

Olive oil is a reminder that God has provided medicine from nature. In medical Quran , health is not only a matter of medical and physical, but it involves the integrity of the soul and spirituality that is in harmony with nature.

CLOSING: Divine gift in each olive drop

Olive oil is not just a kitchen or cosmetics. He is a legacy of Nubuwah, deposited from the sky, and a symbol of life blessing. In the inspiration of medical quran , olive oil is an extension of God's grace for humans to be healthy, productive, and grateful.

Let's make olive oil as part of the Quranic lifestyle. Not only following the trend, but to welcome the light that God has promised. Hopefully every drop of olive we consume brings blessings to our body, heart, and life.

"O Allah, the bright of our lives with Your light, as you bless your olive tree with your light and grace."
