Do dates fight poison as Prophet Muhammad
claimed?
The sections of this article are:
1- Prophet Muhammad's claims.
2- The scientific proofs.
3- The Glorious Quran's STUNNING
Numerical and Scientific Miracles.
4- Conclusion.
1-
Prophet Muhammad's claims:
I first of all want to make it very clear that I have strong reservations
towards the Hadiths' (Sayings of Prophet Muhammad) collections. Like the
Bible, they contain much alterations and corruptions that are man-made.
Ample examples had been given in the following links:
The thing that attracts me to the Hadiths though, is that they truly seem to
contain some Divine Inspirations. For example:
1- The Hadith of the wings of the fly, and how
one wing carries a disease, and the
other wing carries the antidote to that disease. Western scientists
have researched this very point and found it to be scientifically true. I
am not sure about the part, in this Hadith, about dunking the fly in the drink
to be original. It could be original. But it also could be an
addition by men.
2- The
amazing
Prophecies in the Hadiths that have come to past and are still
impressing us today.
3- Similarly here, the Prophet Muhammad, peace be
upon him, here made a statement about dates
containing cure against poison:
The Hadith says if a person eats
seven ajwa dates, then on the day he eats them he will not be
effected by poison or magic. I believe these are additions added by zealot men,
since the Sahih Hadiths were finally documented
300 years after Prophet
Muhammad [1].
The Prophet also can not make blanket statements about people's safety that can assure people
in wholesale like this. This clashes directly with the Glorious Quran's
Commands to the Prophet himself:
[009:051]
Say: "Nothing
will happen to us except what God has decreed for us قل لن
يصيبنا الا ماكتب الله لنا: He is our protector": and
on God let the Believers put their trust.
[007:188]
Say, “I possess no power
to gain any benefit for myself, nor to evade any harm; except whatever Allah
wants. If I had any knowledge of the unseen future I could have amassed an
abundance of wealth, and no misfortune would have ever touched me. I am only a warner, and a bearer of good news for the believing nation.”
[006:050]
Tell them, “I do not
say to you that I possess the treasures of Allah or the
knowledge of the unseen future!
And I do not claim to be an angel. I only just pursue and follow the revelation
sent to me.” Say, “Can a blind man and the one endowed with sight ever be equal?
Do you then not ponder?”
I do not see how the Prophet could make any guarantee to
anyone's personal safety in light of the
above Noble Verses and many more like them.
It doesn't make sense for the Prophet to say that if one eats 7 ajwa dates, then
on that day he/she is guaranteed that they will not be effected by either poison
or magic. It seems to be a superstitious
addition by zealot men 300 years after. However, like the wings of
the fly Hadiths been scientifically proven to be true, the statement about dates
do protect you from "poison" is also true.
Directly Commanded:
Here the Prophet was directly commanded by Allah Almighty to never utter
statements like this. Yet, we find these superstitious statements in the
Hadiths. We also find them in the Bible. The right toe and right finger
blessing by the priest, and the sprinkling of bird's blood to remove evil,
etc.... These things are
found in the Bible. Not Islam. Please visit:
Now, having said all of the above, let us now look at the scientific facts
about the date fruit:
Article #1:
The following article was to me by brother Sama on this
website's blog. May Allah Almighty always be pleased with him.
Ameen. Notice that it is an article from the American Chemical Society.
Indeed, Dates extract is found to inhibit superoxide and hydroxyl radicals
(which are toxins). You can also further
Google Search this:
"Date syrup -- a thick,
sweet liquid derived from dates that is widely consumed across the Middle East
-- shows antibacterial activity
against a number of disease-causing bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus
and Escherichia coli.
New research,
presented today at the Society for General Microbiology's Annual Conference in
Birmingham, showed that, in vitro, date syrup is able to inhibit the growth
of bacteria faster than manuka
honey, which has previously been shown to have
antibacterial properties and is increasingly used in dressings to improve wound
repair.
........
Dr Ara Kanekanian from
Cardiff Metropolitan University, who leads on this research, said: "While this
work is currently in vitro, it suggests that date syrup could exhibit health
benefits through its antibacterial activities, similar, or in some
cases, better than
honey. At this
stage, this has mainly been attributed to the presence of phenolic compounds."
(Source)
By the way, Allah Almighty called
honey as
"medicine"
in the Glorious Quran:
Article #3:
"....Earlier studies
have shown that constituents of
dates act as potent antioxidant,
anti-tumour as well as anti-inflammatory, provide a suitable alternative therapy
in various diseases cure. In this review, dates fruits has medicinal value are
summarized in terms of therapeutic implications in the diseases control through
anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour and ant-diabetic effect."

Antioxidants fight
poison in the body:
Article #4:
"(Dates Truly Are the
Fruit of Paradise)
According to the research
presented at the Society for General Microbiology's Annual Conference in
Birmingham, UK, date syrup has
antibacterial properties and can fight against a number of
disease-causing bacteria. This includes bacteria like Staph aureus which is one
of the leading causes of skin and soft tissue infections and E coli which is
usually found in a person's lower intestine.
Research found that
date syrup is able to inhibit the
growth of bacteria faster than manuka honey, which has previously
been shown to have antibacterial properties and is increasingly used in
dressings to improve wound repair."

The Glorious Quran's STUNNING Numerical and Scientific Miracles:
Here are
some of my favorite Stunning Numerical and Scientific
Miracles in the Glorious Quran that are listed in
the main sections,
below:
1-
The root for message and all of its
derivatives, such as messenger and others
occurs
513
times throughout the Glorious Quran. The
Prophets' and Messengers', peace be upon them, actual names
(Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all combined mentioned
513 times
in the Glorious Quran. The detailed
breakdown of all of this is thoroughly
listed here.
Coincidence?

2-
The Great Miracle. Allah
Almighty in the Holy Quran called the Number
19 Miracle "One of the
Mighty
Ones (Miracles)" (74:30-37)
[1]
[2].
See the 100s of Noble Verses that clearly
testify to this Great Miracle. Also,
did you know that Allah Almighty Said in
Surat Nuh (that's Noble Chapter Nuh (Noah))
that Prophet Noah lived for
950 years
among his people.
Yet,
all Praise and Glory are due to Allah
Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah is
exactly written in
950
Letters
[1]
[2]!

19 X 115 = 2185 Number 19 and BASMALA
Miracle. The total
numerical value of Noble Verses
74:30-37 themselves, which are
the heart of the Number 19 Miracle, has a
stunning Miracle in it. The value of
these Noble Verses matches the
multiplication of the BASMALA's number of
letters (19
Letters) and their total numerical values (115):
19 X 115 = 2185.
The Basmala, which full text in Arabic means
"In the Name of Allah The Most Beneficent,
The Most Merciful"
is the Key to the Glorious Quran. It
is recited first before reading the Holy
Quran, and it is also obligatory upon every
Muslim to start with the Basmala before
starting any task. Again, 1,000s of
examples in

4- The
Glorious Quran has 114 Chapters. The sum of
those Chapters is
6555
(1+2+...+114 = 6555). There are also
6236
Noble Verses in the Glorious Quran. Now, if
you add each Chapter's number with the number of
its Verses, then you get a list of numbers.
So 1 (first Chapter) + 7 (# of its Verses) =
8. Do this for all Chapters.
1-
The sum of the odd numbers from the list =
6555. 2- The sum of the
even numbers from the list =
6236.

STUNNING
Prophecies,
and
Allah's
Divine Promises
to reveal the Quran's Miracles.
"When the sky
disintegrates, and turns
rose colored like paint
(وردة
كالدهان)."
(The Noble Quran,
55:37)
[2]
[3]
As we also see from the picture, Noble Verse 55:37 is a Divine Promise (Allah promised to show mankind) that mankind will actually see this come to pass one day. NASA and other space agencies, by Allah Almighty's Will, have certainly fulfilled this Prophecy, because a natural rose wouldn't form when a "Heaven" or a Solar System or even an entire galaxy and its trillions of solar systems all blow up (explode). It is rather the look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms.
The
Glorious Quran
declares that the
earth is
spherical:
[1]
Allah Almighty
in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:
- Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1]. - Is rotating around itself. - Is moving in space in
curvy orbits [2]. - Is in constant motion. - Is suspended in space. - Is
swimming in space. - Is traveling through the constantly
expanding universe [3].
- The
sunsetless
North Pole miracle in the Glorious Quran
[4].
This is an actual word. Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The actual meaning of the word "Barbarian" is someone who speaks unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North, whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures), perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian and other Barbarians in the near by lands:
Dhil-Qarnayn literally means "man of two horns"
Dhil = One who has. قرنين Qarnayn = two horns. Qarnayn is a dual plural of Qarn (horn). Three or more horns is Quroon, in Arabic.
Noble Verses
53:18 and 18:91
are also prophetically linked together;
that Prophet Muhammad also saw what Dhil-Qarnayn ذي القرنين
saw. Also visit:
-
The Glorious Quran also speaks about
many earths
[5]
and not just earth.
- The Glorious Quran
predicts 11 planets in our
solar system [6].
In the end, Allah Almighty uses the Glorious Quran to "...Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth..." (74:31). The infidels misuse the Glorious Quran to find "scientific errors". The Glorious Quran is Allah Almighty's Perfect Divine Holy Book. It contains no scientific error.

Conclusion:
Dates were scientifically proven to have the ability to fight and stop
bacterial infections. Bacterial infections are a form of poisoning.
Therefore, the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is scientifically
correct. The Glorious Quran is the True and Divine Word of Allah Almighty.
This Holy Book contains 1000s of Numerical and Scientific Miracles
[1]
that had been documented in the links in the following table. The Glorious
Quran is the Book of Allah Almighty that had been perfectly preserved, as Allah
Almighty
precisely
promised. See also the links at the end of the following table
