Olive Oil (Zayt Zaytun) The olive tree is a blessed one in the Qur’an and an olive branch symbolizes a peace offering. Olive oil is extracted from the ripe fruit of the olive tree of the Oleaceae family. Its native climate is the Mediterranean basin, and its habitat extends throughout the Middle East and Southern Europe, and is found in the North African countries of Morocco and Tunisia as well. (Medicine of the Prophet). Abu Huraira narrated that Allah’s messenger ( peace be upon him) said: “Use olive oil as food and as ointment, for it comes from a blessed tree.” (Reported by Imam al-Tirmithi.) Drinking olive oil benefits in the treatment of food poisoning, moves the bowels, and expels intestinal worms. All kinds of oil soften the skin, and slow down the hair graying process. The salted water of preserved olives benefits skin burns, prevents blistering, strengthens the gums, and is good for herpetiform eruptions, and some allergic skin conditions. (Medicine of the Prophet) #Sunnah
