Olive Oil – The Timeless Elixir of Health & Spirituality
A Divine Gift Mentioned in the Quran & Hadith
Olive oil holds a special place in Islamic teachings. The Holy Quran and Hadith emphasize its benefits for health and well-being. Allah ﷻ mentions the blessed olive tree in the Quran:

"اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ ۖ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ ۖ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ زَيْتُونَةٍ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍ..."
(القرآن، سورہ النور 24:35)
"Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth... (this light is) lit from a blessed tree – an olive tree – neither of the east nor of the west..."

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also emphasized the importance of olive oil:
"کُلُوا الزَّيْتَ وَادَّهِنُوا بِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ" (ترمذی: 1852)
"Eat olive oil and apply it, for it comes from a blessed tree."

Despite being a fat, olive oil helps in weight management by improving metabolism and keeping you full for longer. It aids in reducing belly fat when consumed in moderation.
