How can the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) state that no food or drink satisfies like milk when modern nutrition claims that cow milk is only for baby calves? 

Belief is the foundation of our lives. It can impact our behavior and shape our character.  For the majority of my life, I had an ingrained trust in Modern Medicine and Nutrition. I ate according to the food pyramid of daily nutritional requirements and believed almost unquestionably in the Western medical system and the pharmaceuticals that automatically came with it. 

It was only when my health started failing at a rapid rate that I turned to researching and studying Prophetic Medicine, Islamic Medicine, and Herbalism. I'm currently working towards my Clinical Herbalist designation and Hijama Practitioner Certification.

The more I studied the Qur’an and hadith, the more I found myself confused. How can milk be a prophetic food yet demonized in modern nutrition? Why does the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)  recommend herbs that we don’t even know how to use in our present time?

I started to look at everything through the lens of Islam to gain a deeper understanding of why our modern diet is making us sick and what we can do to restore balance with food and herbs as designed for us by Allah ﷻ.

Let people then consider their food how We pour down rain in abundance and meticulously split the earth open ˹for sprouts˺, causing grain to grow in it, as well as grapes and greens, and olives and palm trees, and dense orchards, and fruit and fodder — all as ˹a means of˺ sustenance for you and your animals.

SubhanAllah, I couldn't believe how simple changes I  implemented from the Sunnah had a massive impact on my well-being.

I learned when and how much to use of each herb taught in the Prophetic Sunnah (such as Black Seed, Qust Al Hindi, Senna Leaves, etc).

I felt empowered to nurse my health and my family's health back to wellness whenever anyone fell sick using prophetic remedies, Islamic medicine's guidelines, and herbs found in my kitchen.

I reconnected to my body and understood that my body type determines how I absorb nutrients, how I build muscle and store fats.

I began to see Allah ﷻ in every item I purchased in the farmer's market, realizing that everything He created was specifically designed in this particular season to counterbalance the health issues we would face and to nourish our bodies according to the demands of that specific environment.

I embraced herbal teas in my daily life and experienced firsthand how my nervous system, immune system, reproductive system, and mental health flourished by just incorporating one herb at a time.

I unleashed my inner chef to concoct meals according to what's seasonally available and developed the confidence to create my own recipes based on traditional cooking methods.

"This programme is for you if you want to start being in control of your food and nutrition.  Sister Aiman very patiently holds your hand and guides you through various cooking techniques, recipes, and Sunnahs.  Her tips and tricks are legendary, and above all, you walk away with a mindset shift that allows you to implement a more intuitive and traditional way of life."

If Allah intends goodness for someone, he gives him understanding of the religion.

"The Living Dy Design Mentorship Programme is indeed worth its name, as it's a total way of life, just as Islam is. It is returning back to the Athaar in the aspect of the concept of nutrition and lifestyle. Best still, it is practical, so you live what you learn."

What if there was a way to revive the lost knowledge of Prophetic medicine, Islamic medicine and Herbalism without spending months buried in books, years in various courses, and a lifetime of trial by error? 

What if you can learn directly from a mentor who will hold your hand and support your journey to Islam-centric health and wellness?

You don't need to travel far to experience the wisdom of learning from elders and the encouragement of a like-minded community! 

"Before starting this, I was so overwhelmed with all the advice out there on how to live a healthy life, with so many contradictions and an endless list of do’s and dont’s. This program has helped me feel more calm in my approach to living healthily. It’s put me in the right frame of mind, to have an approach which is deen-centred and one of balance. Overall, I am more mindful of what I consume."
