Black Seed (the miracle seed)
When we think of black seed oil, we often assume that all black seed oils carry these miraculous properties but this is not entirely correct.
The benefit depends on how the oil is prepared.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“In the black seed there is healing for every disease, except death.”
(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī & Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim)
TWO types of Black Seed Oil:
1️⃣ Cold-Pressed Black Seed Oil (Pure & Medicinal)
