Abstract

Like all other great Prophets (as) of God (Allah) statements of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) are divinely inspired and true. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) never spoke a single lie in his lifetime of 63 years. Concerning his statements and utterances Allah (God) says in the Qur'an: “He does not speak anything on his own. It is but a Revelation, which is sent down to him.” (Qur’an, An-Najm 53:3-4). Therefore, although the Prophet’s arrival was not as a physician or pharmacist, he was inspired by God to make nearly 1000 statements on healing for the benefit of humankind because man needs to remain well free from sickness to fulfill his brief mission on earth. Companion Abu Hurayrah (ra) narrates that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “Hold on (use this black seed regularly)! Because it is a remedy (cure) for every disease except death.” (Sahih Al Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Ibn Mâjah and Aḥmad). This amazing statement generated tremendous interest on the plant seed among the world’s scientific community. The scientists’ concern was, how an unlettered man of the desert without having any pen and paper, could make such a wonderful statement on medical science? The Prophet (pbuh) did not have to carry out any laboratory research to make this statement. Moreover, the Prophet (pbuh) made the statement at a time when scientific concept about the use of plants for the treatment of human illness was not formed until many centuries later. The statement finally led the global scientific community to carry out extensive phytochemical and biological investigations on Nigella sativa seed and its oil. However, the researchers after having carried out hundreds of scientific researches around the globe finally came to the conclusion that this tiny plant seed can effectively cure 129 different types of ailments including 17 types of cancer, AIDS, hypertension and diabetes. This large number of diseases curable by Nigella sativa demonstrates the authenticity of the Prophet’s statement. In this paper the learned readers will be informed about the recent findings of modern scientific researches about how Prophetic chemo isolated from Nigella sativa seeds can effectively cure various forms of cancers, particularly breast cancer without causing any side effects.
