Introduction for Hijama
“Jibreel (Angel Gabriel) has informed me that Hijama Cupping is the most useful medication for People.” Stated by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), as reported by Abu-Hurayrah (recorded by al-Hakim, verified to be authentic by al-Albani [Sahih ul-Jami # 218]).
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) practiced and strongly recommended it to all mankind. It is an ultimate means of attaining optimum health and physical, mental and emotional balance.The act of controlled and managed wet cupping is very healthy, and so they choose to have it administered on certain meridian and pressure points or “Sunnah” points around the body. Hijama Therapy is vastly beneficial to all human beings and if it was not, Muhammad (PBUH) would not have recommended it to his Nation. He placed such high importance on it advised Muslims to use it as a “cure for themselves”. It is an effective, safe method of using your own body to prevent, heal and cure itself of illnesses, aches, pains and diseases. It is deeply relaxing and therapeutic for the patient. It is a holistic, safe, organic and beneficial procedure.
“If there is something excellent to be used as a remedy, then it is Hijama Cupping”. Reported by Abu Huraira. [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah #3476].
The Prophet (PBUH) explained that Hijama is one of the best medicines: “The best medicine with which you treat yourselves is Hijama, or it is one of the best of your medicines,” or “The best treatment you can use is Hijama.” [Al Bukhari #5371]
The Prophet (PBUH) also said: “If there is anything good in the medicines with which you treat yourselves, it is in the incision of the Hijama therapist, or a drink of honey or cauterization with fire, but I do not like to be cauterized.” [Muslim #2205]
The Prophet (PBUH) said: “The best treatment is Hijama; it removes blood, lightens the back and sharpens the eyesight.” [At Tirmidhi #3053]
Anas narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) used to have Hijama done on the veins on the side of the neck and the upper back. [At Tirmidhi].
Hijama is also holistic and heals the mind and soul, as well as the body by the grace of Allah SWT. It deals with all the realms of a humans body; mental, emotional & spiritual. The sense of well being and relaxation obtained through cupping naturally de-stresses depressed or anxious people. There is also the mystical and unseen that we contend with and Muhammad (PBUH) clearly states in ahadith that Cupping is a protection against all harm, evil eye and magic.
“I did not pass by an angel from the angels on the night journey except that they all said to me; ‘upon you is Hijama cupping, O Muhammad’ ”. [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3477)].
