BENEFITS OF BARLEY

Whenever a person of the family of Muhammad (SAW) fell sick then it was ordered that the barley gruel should be prepared for him. Then Prophet Muhammad (SAW) used to state

"it(barley) removes the grief of the patients heart, removes its weakness as any of you removes the dirt from your face after washing it". (Ibn Maja)

Ummul Manzar states that the Prophet (saws) along with Ali came to our house, we had the dates and those were presented to them. Both of them ate from those dates. When Ali (Ra) consumed a little of those, the Prophet (saws) said

"You recently recovered from illness, hence you are weak, hence don’t eat more. Therefore, that lady prepared a dish from barley and beet root. Then, the Prophet (saws) told Ali "eat from it, it is better for you". (Ibn-e-Maja, Sanad-e-Ahmed, Tirmizi)

Barley is mentioned in about 250 hadiths which showed that it is used as an important nutrition in islamic history. Hadiths show barley taking place in trade life, economic life, health and social life of muslims. Unfortunately, after 18th century, barley lost it’s importance in the world. Scientists and world cereal producers discovered the benefits of barley and now they made an international barley conference in Canada to summarise their findings about barley.

Unfortunately, nobody has mentioned the use of barley in islamic world and the health advises of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). They included the all asian and european resources but surprisingly did not show any interest to mention the islamic references. Scientists discovered that barley stimulates immune system, helps reducing heart burn and cures cardio vascular heart problems. Are these not mentioned already on the hadiths above ?

According to the scholars of hadith barley is very nutritious and provides energy for the body, besides this is also beneficial in pharyngitis and cough. It resolves the inflammation of the stomach (Gastritis), expels the toxins from the body and a good diuretic. It quenches the thirst. Barley water is a good remedy in kidney problem, to quench the thirst and provide the best nutrition for indisposed and weak persons. Preparation of Barley water is described by Ibn Al-Qayyim. According to him, barley with five times water should be boiled, till the contents become 3/4 and the colour of the mixture becomes milky.
You can find barley seeds in Cereal shop at the bus stop entry of Basildon Shopping Centre. Please introduce these scientific facts to your environment at home, school and work.
