*ESSENTIAL OILS*

*The beloved prophet Muhammad Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam said:”_ Whoever has a hair, then he should take good care of it(Abu Dawood):_*

سنن أبى داود – ()

عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ 

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ شَعْرٌ فَلْيُكْرِمْهُ

*To clean the hair, to oil it and to comb it is the sunnah of Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam. In fact the beloved prophet Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam used to oil his hair so much that he had a cloth specially worn to stop the oil to spill on his cloths(Shamail Tirmizi).*

الشمائل المحمدية – الترمذي – ()

حدثنا يوسف بن عيسى قال : حدثنا وكيع قال : حدثنا الربيع بن صبيح ، عن يزيد بن أبان هو الرقاشي ، عن أنس بن مالك قال : « كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يكثر دهن رأسه وتسريح لحيته ، ويكثر القناع حتى كأن ثوبه ثوب زيات  

صحيح مسلم – ()

– و حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ سُئِلَ عَنْ شَيْبِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ كَانَ إِذَا دَهَنَ رَأْسَهُ لَمْ يُرَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ وَإِذَا لَمْ يَدْهُنْ رُئِيَ مِنْهُ

*In fact, Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam advised us to use oil on our skin.*

سنن الترمذي –

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُلُوا الزَّيْتَ وَادَّهِنُوا بِهِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ

*Rasouloullah Swalallahou `Alaihi Wasallam said: ‘’_Drink from (olive) oil and apply it on your skin. Because it is from the blessed tree_.’’(Tirmizi)*

*Drinking olive oil improve blood circulation, cardiovascular system and give a healthy boost to the digestive system. Try a spoon of olive oil before fajr daily.*

*The olive is the best oil described by the Qur-aan:*

يُوقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ زَيْتُونَةٍ لَا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍ [النور : 35]

‘’…*_from the blessed olive tree_*…’’(Surah 24:35)

*In fact, some ahadiths talk of the benefit of miswaak made from olive branches.*

المعجم الأوسط – الطبراني –

عن معاذ بن جبل قال : سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول : « نعم السواك الزيتون من شجرة مباركة ، يطيب الفم ، ويذهب بالحفر هو سواكي ، وسواك الأنبياء قبلي 

*In brief, feed your body skin with oils. The best is olive oil. And it is a good lubricator for intimacy.*

*And during summer, you may use coconut oil on the skin and on the scalp.*

*I was happy to learn that a Mowlana here in Mauritius has started to prepare soaps with natural essential oils. Alhamdulillah, I started using it and I found it very beneficial. Know that many skin bruises, dryness, psoriasis and other skin disorders are partly due to use of general soaps*.

*Do use oils on your head, skin and also choose to use essential oil soaps. If anyone need the contact of the said Mowlana, please do privately WhatsApp message me.*

*Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam came with the best of deen, the best way of living and the best ingredients for a healthy long life.*
