Hijama is more than a treatment. It is a Sunnah of our beloved Prophet ﷺ.
Many people know Hijama as cupping therapy, but as Muslims we should also remember its place in our religion.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“The best treatment you use is Hijama (cupping).”
(Sahih al-Bukhari 5696, Sahih Muslim 2205)
Allah ﷻ also reminds us:
“And when I am ill, it is He who cures me.”
(Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:80)
Hijama is a means of treatment, but true healing always comes from Allah ﷻ.
Whether someone chooses to have Hijama or not, we should treat this blessed Sunnah with respect and avoid making light of it. The Sunnah of our Prophet ﷺ deserves honour, love and appreciation.
May Allah ﷻ grant shifa to everyone who is suffering, allow us to revive the Sunnah with sincerity, and make us among those who follow the example of His Messenger ﷺ.
اللهم اشفِ مرضانا ومرضى المسلمين شفاءً لا يغادر سقماً. آمين
🤲 Ameen.
