Image
Regular exercise is crucial for maintaining and improving bone density. Maintaining strong bones is crucial for overall health and well-being. As we age, our bones naturally lose density, which can lead to conditions like osteoporosis and an increased risk of fractures. Fortunately, there are several effective ways to enhance bone density and keep your skeleton in top shape. One approach is incorporating nutrient-rich foods and supplements into your diet.

There are others and two that are often mentioned aloud in a congregation prayer are the fruits we call figs and olives, referred to in Arabic as ' At-Tin ' and ' Az-Zaytuun '.

The Prophetic or Sunnah-based Food a.k.a. "Makanan Sunnah" Advertising Dilemma and How to Fix It

Image
To those unfamiliar with the term, the word  Sunnah  is usually a reference made to our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ - be it his sayings, actions (including his approvals), and practices. Hence, when it is used in association with the term 'food' (i.e. " makanan Sunnah "), it can lead to diverse interpretations and unintended use.  Thankfully, a few academicians have already attempted to raise this issue and unravel the possible meanings of " makanan Sunnah ", especially from the community context 1 - from where the term was "coined", and they are: All food that is derived and mentioned in al-Qur'an and al-Hadith (Prophetic traditions) - this context and meaning has been the primary understanding amongst the Muslim masses in Malaysia; All food that brings goodness and  maslahah 2 (brings benefits and wards off harm) to mankind whether it has been mentioned in al-Qur'an, al-Hadith, or in neither of them. This definition, no doubt, is derived...
