ZANJABEEL (GINGER) HAS ALWAYS BEEN USED AS MEDICINE IN HISTORY

'Zanjabeel', زنجبيل in Arabic, is the spicy-sweet warming flavour of ginger - a Quranic reference to Heavenly drinks and hardcore health improvement.

The Qur’an mentions ginger as one of the drinks of Paradise. The modern name, “ginger,” comes from the Arabic root, “zindshebil,” and as centuries have passed, we have discovered the amazing and miraculous healing properties ginger offers.

The use of ginger by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) as well as the many medical discoveries dating back to ancient times justifiably places ginger in the noble ranks of “heavenly herbs.”

'Zanjabeel', زنجبيل in Arabic, is the bitter, sweet and warming flavour of ginger - a Quranic reference to Heavenly drinks and hardcore health improvement. Zanjabeel, is said to have been derived from the Sanskrit word of Sringeber, and is a very old medicinal plant that grows underground. Botanically, it is known as zingiber officinale.

GINGER IN THE QURAN
Allah says ginger will be one of the drinks that will refresh the believers in paradise:
"And they will be given to drink there of a cup mixed with Zanjabil (ginger)."
(Qur'an, 76:17)
وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا كَأْساً كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلاً

EATING GINGER IS A SUNNAH
During the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the Byzantine Emperor sent a jar of pickled ginger to the Prophet ﷺ as a gift. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ate from it and gave a piece to each of his Companions.

Many of the health benefits of ginger were also recorded in the book, The Prophetic Medicine by Ibn Qayyim El-Jawziyyah.

A RICH HISTORY
Thirteenth-century exegesis of the Qur'an (Tafseer Mazhari) states that the Arabs had a great liking for ginger and they used it as medicine and as a drink. Ginger has been grown and utilized since ancient times in India where physicians considered ginger to be an important medicine. Ginger was given names by those of that time period such as the "Great remedy" and "Panacea", meaning a solution or remedy for all difficulties or diseases.

Ginger was a valuable article of trade used during medieval times and the Renaissance, and considered a close second to the black peppercorn. In the Middle ages, it was said that one pound of ginger was equal to that of an entire sheep! This spice was loved so much in Europe that it was a common staple and had it’s place beside the salt and pepper at the dinner table.

GINGER IS A HALAL ALTERNATIVE TO MANY PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS

It was reported that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said,
“Allah has sent down both the disease and the cure, and He has appointed a cure for every disease, so treat yourselves medically, but use nothing unlawful.”
(Abu Dawud)

Ginger has been a valued spice in many parts of the world, since before recorded history, and was later recorded in Sanskrit, Chinese, Greek, Roman, and Arabic medical literature, was recommended by Hippocrates in cooking to calm and benefit the stomach and is popular in Chinese and Indian Ayurvedic medicine.
