Thibbun nabawi
is a method of medicine that is exemplified by Rasulullah SAW. This method involves simple medicine for many
diseases. For many years people believe that drug is the only savior for
human’s health. They prefer to consume drugs rather than to use natural sources
in order to heal their sickness. However, it is proven that drugs, especially
chemical medicine, destroy our body health (Gray: 2010). He writes on his book that
the trusted institution like as the world beneficial pharmaceutical factory is
cooperating with World Health Organization in order to seize the citizen belief
(Rasulullah is My Doctor; 2010); so
they will buy the chemical products and consume it. People do this because they
belief in the conviction that they will get well soon from their illnesses
after buying that drugs. The good news is that we do not have to pay in a great
amounts, to struggle in our life with the. We should believe that the safest
and the best medicine is that Thibbun
Nabawi, the one and only medical treatment that bases on the Koran and
hadith. There are three reasons why we should take an action toward Thibbun Nabawi.
Bukhari – (volume 007,
book no. 071, hadith no. 622) told by Rafi bin Khadij, “I have heard that
Rasulullah SAW said, ‘fever comes from the fire of the hell, so heal that by
using water.’’’ The first reason is that the concept of fever in this hadith is
found many times earlier rather than human invention to cure fever illness. In
the hadith is written that fever comes from the fire of the hell so we must
heal it by the helps of water. Then people discover that the effective medicine
for fever is that compressing the sufferer by using water. It proves that Thibbun Nabawi is the most effective
medicine because it has the basic concept of disease and its medicine method.
In surah An-Nahl : 68 it is stated
“and your God bestowing you, the bees, “build your own nest in the mountains,
in the wood’s trees, and in the place which are built by mankind!’’ this surah
explains about the decency of the bees. Allah says that bees can build their
homes wherever they want to. Later on it is also discovered that the bees has
many pertinences for creature’s life. We can use honey from the bees to cure
diarrhea and most importantly it also can heal influenza in stock farm animals
such as chicken. Koran and hadith is a great miracle gift and there is no
hesitancy about it. It is proven by the information contains on it, after all
it is not only the information. It can be shown that the best treatment for
fever is to compress it, and bees are useful animals because it conceives
honey.
The
second reason why we should consider Thibbun
Nabawi the best is that it uses cheaper and widely available materials. In thibbun nabawi, we do not have to afford
such expensive drugs to cure the sickness. It exploits the power of nature to
heal our illness. For example the use of bamboo leaves to expedite the period
of women. Besides the affordable materials, thibbun
nabawi also does not involving the complicated way to process the
concoction. Take for the example, to make our period come in a right time, we
only have to boil bamboo leaves, and make it into two cups then drink it in a
day. Another example of it is that the use of avocado leaves to cure headache.
We have to boil five or seven big avocado leaves from four cups to become two
cups. Then throw off the leaves and drink one cup of avocado leaves tea when it
is warm. The avocado leaves are used as a natural ponstan to help curing headache (Rasulullah is My Doctor: 2010: p. 161) People who practice this
kind of medical treatment do not need to be afraid of not finding the ingredients
to concoct, because bamboo leaves and avocado leaves are relatively available
in many areas. More importantly, it does not need to be a skill full person to
make the concoction. It only uses simple ways to process that medicine. One
example is boiling the ingredients.
The
third reason why Thibbun Nabawi is
special is that it is because it does not have any contra indication for people
who undergoing this medical treatment. Unlike chemical medicine, natural
medicine is much safer than the chemical one. According to a research in the
U.S during 2009, 783,936 people are death caused by conventional drugs
consumption (Rasulullah is My Doctor:
2010). We should believe that the chemical bring negative impacts to our body
health. The conventional drugs only relief the pain causes by infected part of
the body, but this medicine will not drive out the main cause of the illness
itself. William Agger, MD, the director and the head of microbiology and
contagious disease in Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center, La Crosse Wisconsin, says
that 30 million pounds of antibiotic are consumed by human and animal in the
U.S. (Rasulullah is My Doctor; p.228).
It captures the excessive amount of drug uses in the U.S. So what is the effect
of consuming too many drugs? When it comes to our body, it wills toxic our
body. When the residue comes out from our body, it will pollute the
environment. Have we ever imagined if that substance comes back again to our
body? No wonder it will be the main agent which carry the virus that causes
cancer and attack our body defense. We should know that natural medication is
simpler, more practice, and safer than chemical medication.
Some
people may say that thibbun nabawi is
untrusted medical treatment because it is not commonly used in our society, but
I believe that in the future time people will realize about the meaning of back
to nature. We come from nature and we shall go back to nature to reach the
betterment of life. Take here for the example by using medical treatment which
is exemplified by Rasulullullah SAW. Rasul is the messenger, the one who
bring good news to his following’s sake. It is impossible for him to spread the
falsehood news. More importantly I myself extremely believe that what nature
gives for us is the best gift from God and because of that we shall maintain
and exploit the nature in a good way.
Some
others people may also say that thibbun
nabawi is not really reliable because they still have to process it before
using the concoction. For me it is not a big deal to only pick up the materials
near from my neighborhood and to process it. It will not spend so much time. It
is better to prevent by using traditional concoction rather than to take the chemical
medicine. Even if the medicine is so easy to use I will proudly say that I will
only take the instant medicine solution if there were no more plants in my
surrounding.
Thibbun nabawi
is an effective, simple, medical treatment that is bases on Koran and Hadith
and exemplified by Rasulullah SAW. Rasulullah SAW is the best model of
health people in all era. He only got sick for three times in his lifespan
(Rasulullah is My Doctor: 2010: p.9). The use of chemical medicine is really
harmful and gives negative impacts for our body health. Therefore, we should imitate
the habit of Rasul which uses the
aids of nature to help his body getting healthy. More importantly, we should
not take the chemical medicine carelessly without thinking about long-terms
effect causes by the drugs.
