The best days for cupping hijama It is important to perform Hijama according to the Sunnah. The best days for cupping (Hijama) are the 17th, 19th and 21st of the Islamic, lunar month. There are many authentic narrations in the hadith to explain and support this. Anas ibn Maalik radiAllaah anhu reported that the Messenger SalAllaahualayhiwasallam said, “Whoeverwants to perform cupping (Hijama) then let him search for the 17th, 19th and 21st…” [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3486)]. The moon has a huge influence upon Prophetic medicine in Islam and mentioned frequently throughout The Holy Quran. The moon has a huge impact upon all life forms on Earth including human beings, animals, fish, plants and water bodies, because of its gravitational pull on Earth. It causes all fluids to rise at particular times of during the monthly lunar cycle. This also includes a change in the human body, thus the recommended times to perform Hijama. It all has to do with gravitational pull and the levels of the four fluid humors (black & yellow bile, blood and phlegm) and water inside the human body at certain times of the month. Just as the moon affects the tide of the ocean, it affects the human body. According to Ibn Sina’s research, the four humors inside the human body were on the rise and in a state of agitation during the full moon. The full moon pulls the blood towards the skull during the full moon. As the moon begins to wane in the third week of the month, the fluids begin to recline in the body. The residue that is left over in the upper parts of the body is septic and should be removed through hijama, in order to cleanse the blood and cardio-vascular system. Ibn Umar radiAllaah anhu reported that the Messenger salAllaahu alayhiwasallam said, “Cupping (Hijama) on an empty stomach* is best. In it is a cure and a blessing. It improves the intellect and the memory. [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3487)]. * ‘alaa ar-reeq in arabic means to fast until after being treated with cupping. Once the treatment of cupping has been completed, one may eat and drink. As for the Islamic day and night, the night enters before the day. So at sunset on Tuesday, Wednesday night comes in. Cupping (hijama) is best performed during the daytime between the adhaan of fajr and the adhaan of maghrib because yawm in arabic means daytime.

Hijama: The Prophetic Cure for Every Disease | Chaudhry Clinic The Power of Hijama: A Prophetic Cure for Every Disease In Cupping (Hijama) There Is a Cure and A Blessing Discover the profound benefits of Hijama (cupping), a revered practice in Prophetic medicine. The Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized its healing power when he said, “Healing resides in three things: the cupper’s incision, the drinking of honey, and cauterization with fire, but I forbid my Ummah (nation) from cauterization (branding with fire).” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5681), Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3491)]. This statement underscores the significance of Hijama as a therapeutic method. Furthermore, Jaabir ibn Abdullah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) stated, “Indeed, in cupping (Hijama) lies a cure.” [Saheeh Muslim (5706)]. Ibn Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) advised, “Cupping (hijama) on an empty stomach* is best. Within it, you find a cure and a blessing…” [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3487)]. * ‘alaa ar-reeq in Arabic means to fast until after receiving cupping treatment. Following the completion of the cupping session, one may eat and drink. The Optimal Timing for Hijama: A Cure for Every Disease Abu Hurairah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) instructed, “Whoever undergoes cupping (hijama) on the 17th, 19th, or 21st day (of the Islamic, lunar month) will find it a cure for every disease.” [Saheeh Sunan abi Dawud (3861)]. This indicates the importance of timing to maximize the benefits of Hijama. Indeed, Al Hijamah (Cupping Therapy) represents the finest remedy recommended and utilized by the Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him). He proclaimed, “Verily, the best of remedies you possess is Hijama (Cupping)” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5371)]. Moreover, the Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) recounted that on the night of Israa (his ascension to the heavens), every angel he encountered said to him, “O Muhammad (peace be upon him), command your Ummah (nation) to practice Hijama (Cupping).”[Saheeh Sunan Tirmidhee (3479)]. Consequently, this highlights the profound significance and excellence of this Sunnah.

Book Your Hijama Session Exploring Principles of Traditional Healing Methods Traditional healing methods, including cupping (Hijama) and acupuncture, share foundational principles that emphasize the body’s inherent ability to heal and the importance of balance. These ancient systems often view health as a state of equilibrium within the body’s vital energies. The Fundamental Concept of Energy Flow Many traditional healing modalities underscore the significance of unimpeded energy flow within the body. For instance, in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this energy, known as Qi, circulates through specific pathways called meridians. Similarly, other traditions recognize vital life forces that require free flow for optimal health. Consequently, when this energy stagnates or becomes blocked, it can lead to pain, discomfort, and disease. Therefore, therapies like acupuncture aim to stimulate specific points along these meridians to restore the harmonious flow of energy. Recognizing Vital Forces and the Body’s Innate Wisdom Beyond energy flow, traditional systems frequently acknowledge inherent vital forces that govern bodily functions and the body’s innate capacity for self-healing. This concept recognizes the body’s intelligence and its continuous efforts to maintain equilibrium. Treatments like Hijama (cupping), for example,
Is Cupping (Hijama) from the Sunnah? Exploring Authentic Islamic Narrations For centuries, practitioners have utilized cupping therapy, known as Hijama in Arabic, for its potential healing benefits. But is this ancient practice merely a traditional remedy, or does it hold a significant place within Islamic teachings? This blog post delves into authentic Islamic narrations (Sunnah) to explore the roots of Hijama and its connection to the practices of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Understanding the Sunnah and Prophetic Medicine The term “Sunnah” refers to the practices, sayings, and approvals of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). For Muslims, the Sunnah serves as a primary source of guidance after the Quran. Within the Sunnah lies “Tibb Nabawi,” or Prophetic Medicine, which encompasses remedies and health advice the Prophet (peace be upon him) recommended or practiced. Authentic Narrations (Hadith) on Cupping (Hijama) Numerous authentic Hadith (narrations) highlight the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) endorsement and practice of Hijama. These narrations firmly establish cupping as a significant aspect of Prophetic Medicine. Hijama: A Recommended Remedy Anas ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, “Indeed, the best of remedies you have is cupping (Hijama)…” [Sahih al-Bukhari (5371)]. This powerful statement underscores the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) high regard for cupping as a therapeutic method. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) stated, “If there is any good in your remedies, it is in cupping (Hijama).” [Sahih Muslim (2205)]. This emphasizes the potential benefits and efficacy that the Prophet (peace be upon him) associated with Hijama. Angelic Endorsement of Hijama Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, “I did not pass by any group of angels on the night journey except that they said to me, ‘O Muhammad, order your Ummah (nation) to use cupping (Hijama).’” [Sunan Ibn Majah (3477)]. This narration highlights the significance of Hijama, even to the angels. The Prophet (PBUH) Practiced Hijama Authentic narrations detail instances where the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself underwent cupping for various reasons. These personal practices further solidify Hijama’s place within the Sunnah. Timing of Hijama Several Hadith also mention specific times when the Prophet (peace be upon him) recommended performing Hijama, such as the 17th, 19th, or 21st day of the Islamic lunar month. This indicates a level of guidance and specificity associated with the practice.
