Public Argumentative Essay : the Amazing Thibbun Nabawi

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.
