🌟 Reviving the Sunnah: Ḥijāmah in Rabiʿ al-Awwal

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“Whoever performs cupping on the 17th, 19th, or 21st (of the lunar month), it will be a cure for every disease.”
— Sunan Abī Dāwūd

💬 What Clients Are Saying

“After 23 years of being a Muslim, I finally got hijama. Although I’ve had opportunities with various providers, there was always either a red flag or something came up. This time, all went smoothly until it was finally completed. SubhanAllah, I must say this provider, Sh. Asif, is in the correct field in that he provides such services not just an informative process but a wholesome, nearly organic experience.”

— Abdul Hasib

What is a Fera Fruit?

Fera comes from a specific type of palm tree, oleifera x guineensis, a hybrid grown on regenerative organic farms in Colombia.

Conventional "palm oil" comes from a different species (elaeis guineensis) grown in Southeast Asia. Different tree, different fat profile, different growing region, different footprint.

The fat profile is the cleanest way to tell them apart. Conventional palm oil is mostly saturated and solid at room temperature. Fera is primarily monounsaturated and pours like olive or avocado.

What's actually in it?
56% monounsaturated, 32% saturated, 10-13% polyunsaturated fats. Roughly 3-6x less PUFA than canola, soybean, or sunflower.

Expeller-pressed. No hexane, no TBHQ, no BHT, no DMPS, no synthetic anything. In side-by-side oxidation tests, Fera produces fewer aldehydes at fryer temps than peanut oil or avocado oil. Unlike other frying oils, absolutely nothing else is added to the oil.

Only Allah’s creation is perfect. Everything made by human beings will have some degree of imperfection. That’s why we’re careful about completely endorsing any particular brand. Some brands are certainly better than the majority available, but even the better ones can have their flaws.

This is a good example of why we encourage people to look beyond the label and understand the quality and sourcing of what they’re consuming. The UC Davis study highlights concerns about avocado oil products being mislabeled or not containing pure avocado oil.

UC Davis researchers tested 54 avocado oil chips, mayo and dressings. Nearly 9 in 10 were adulterated with cheaper oils despite label claims.
