Over 1,400 years ago, whenever a
newborn child was brought to
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), he
would chew a date until it was
soft and then rub a piece of it
onto the palate of the baby. This
Sunnah (prophetic practice) is
called Tahneek.
Today, BBC News has reported
that medical researchers in New
Zealand have proposed that - "A
dose of sugar given as a gel
rubbed into the inside of the
cheek is a cheap and effective way
to protect premature babies
against brain damage"
This is one of the reasons why
Muslims follow the Sunnah of the
Messenger (pbuh) without
questioning it. Science is only
now discovering a tradition that
was introduced 1,400 years ago in
the deserts of Arabia. Islam in all
its aspects has relevance today,
tomorrow and forever.
