"Let’s look at what most Muslims eat. White rice, white bread, lots of meat, very little vegetables,mike, caffeine in coffee and tea, white
sugar, white salt, white flour, and all kinds of sweet pastries. All over the Muslim world, Muslims smoking is as common as saying As-
Salaamu-Alaikum.
You may be saying what is wrong with these foods. These foods are processed, even the salt. They have been
strapped of their nutrients. Originally rice, flour and sugar is brown. They turn it white by processing them. Salt is naturally
white but they process salt. They say this is why so many people have high blood pressure. The best salt to use is sea
salt. The milk that is now sold in America and European countries is no good , although milk is Halal. The cows that make
this milk are given steroids, hormones, antibiotics and the cows are given feed that has all kinds of pesticides in them. This
is why people who drink milk from these cows and milk products like ice cream have allergies.
Here in American and though out the world, Muslims are suffering from serious health problems. The kufar is now
turning away from all this bad food. They are banding smoking even outside in some states like California. The kufar is
now exercising, growing organic food and raising chickens and cows without all those dangerous drugs. Once again the
Muslims are being left behind. Most Muslims know nothing about nutrition and exercise, that’s why I fill the need to write a
book about the best foods for Muslims to eat. I buy a lot of Islamic books but I never see books about the best foods to
eat in Muslim book stores. From looking at the health conditions of the Muslims , it looks like we eat in seven intestines,
instead of one. Even if we eat the best food, you can still get sick, if that’s what Allah has decreed but we must do what
we can to stay healthy.
I will now give you some of the things that must be done to give your body good food.
1 - Give up white rice for brown rice. They have basmati brown rice, $13.00 for 10 LBs
2 - You must stop drinking Somali tea, which is full of milk, sugar, and caffeine.
If you want to drink tea, go to Kroger or Publix and buy Celestial Season Tea with no caffeine. Use a little honey to sweeten your tea.
What we should be drinking is spring water. Do not drink any more water from the faucet. Go to Family Dollar and buy Crystal Geyser
Spring Water. It costs
one dollar per gallon. Drink more water, no milk or Somali tea.
3 - Do not drink any sodas of any kind. They are full of sugar. Sugar works to break down your immune system among other things.
4 - Use sea salt and reduce the amount of salt you use.
5 - Reduce the amount of meat you eat, and increase the amount of vegetables you eat. Somalis and other Muslims do not eat
enough vegetables.
6 - In the mornings eat oatmeal with raisins. Rolled oats are the best. In the mornings also eat fruit. We do not eat enough fruit.
7- Leave all pastries alone for now. If you want something sweet, eat some fruit or dried fruit like raisins.
8 - Do not eat anything from Dunkin Donuts. Everything is made from white flour and sugar. You know that this is the Somali hang
out – smoking, drinking coffee, and eating sweet pastries. This is not conductive for good health, and this is a waste of money, time, and
good health.
9. After you have changed your diet, you must start exercising every day. Exercising is the best free medicine you can give your
body. It is reported that the Prophet (S) said the strong Muslim is better than the weak Muslim. How many Muslims do we know who
exercise every day and know the health benefits of exercise?
10 - Most people who change their diets to what I have presented to you will see an immediate improvement in their health. Only the
people who Allah has written for them to stay sick will not improve.
What I have said about the best foods to eat is common knowledge among people who are changing their diets instead of staying in
the doctor’s office. All medicines that people take have side effects that will also make you sick or sicker.
Now even though you may start eating brown rice, more fruit and vegetables you will have to start taking herbs and vitamins. You
must do this because man has destroyed the quality of the earth. The soil has been stripped of it’s nutrition. We are not getting what we
are suppose to be getting from our food. Therefore, to make up for this we must take herbs and vitamins. I will tell you what I take on a
daily basics. Later on in my book on health, insha Allah, I plan to go into detail about the benefit of each food, herb, and vitamins we
take. Anyone can go to the internet and google in the benefits of brown rice or the benefit of anything that I have said is good for you.
That will be the proof of what I have said.
This is what I take each and every day at the age of almost sixty two. So, far I am never sick. I have never ha d a headache. Every
day I live pain free. I have a lot of energy every day to do what I want to do, at the age of sixty two. I have never been on any medicine
that I had to take every day. I take no drugs from the doctor. Now, all praise is due to Allah who decreed this for me. I realize that my
body right now could have cancer or some other disease. I don’t care what food you eat or what vitamins you take, they can not save
you from what Allah has written for you.
Each day I take Kyolic odorless garlic. It will say on the bottle vegetarian capsules. Garlic is a natural antibiotic. I take 2000 mg of
vitamin c, 100mg of zinc, 4mg of copper, and 5000 IU of vitamin D. Vitamin D is what you get from the sun. African people really need
this vitamin, because we do not get enough sun any more. I take 400 IU of vitamin E. I take a combination of calcium magnesium and
potassium. And lastly, I take ginseng. American ginseng is best if you have high blood pressure.
My normal routine is to walk two and a half or three miles each day. Each one half mile I do twenty or twenty five push ups. This is
eighty or more push ups each day for upper body and arm strength.
If you need me to buy these things for you, let me know and insha Allah, I can go get them for you. The main thing is to change your
diet and start exercising. May Allah purify us from all forms of shirk and bidah. O Allah! Verily, I seek refuge with You from weakness,
laziness, senility, cowardness, stinginess, and the torment of the grave. O Allah! Give my soul its good and purify it, for You are the best
to purify it. You are its Guardian and Master. O Allah! Verily I seek refuge with You from a heart that is not humble, a soul that is not
satisfied, knowledge that does not benefit and a supplication that is not answered".
