The Aisha Buhari cabals are good for the Country and bad for overzeliousness
Daily Post Nigeria
Cabal in presidency: How Aisha, Buhari are defiling Islamic rules – Balarabe Musa
John Owen Nwachukwu
14 hours ago
A former Governor of Kaduna State, Balarabe Musa, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari and his wife, Aisha, were going against Islamic laws by bringing their arguments to the public.
He described the controversy between the couple over allegations of a cabal’s influence on the President as unIslamic.
The Kaduna born politician was quoted by Daily Trust on Wednesday as saying that as husband and wife, there were certain things that should be kept away from public consumption.
According to Musa, “It’s unIslamic, the allegations from the both sides; here I mean the allegations of the wife and the response of the president because we don’t expect these kinds of things happening between the wife and the husband.
“In an Islamic society, there are certain things that should be kept away from public views.
“So, it’s very unfortunate and I think people should not be involved in this controversy.
“I dismissed it as unIslamic and not in culture of Islam because you don’t expect this to happen between leaders, husbands and wives even between friends.”

It is believed that cod liver oil is a panacea for many diseases and is an excellent way to strengthen the human immune system at any time of the year. Is it true? Today we will talk about cod liver oil benefits, the healing properties it has, and when its use is contraindicated.
In an endless quest to maximize their health and physical results, a lot of people are ready to try almost any dietary supplement. They take one supplement to improve physical state, the second one to improve brain function, and the third one to maintain heart health, and other popular, but often ineffective, supplements for other purposes.
Benefits of cod liver oil
Fish oil is an oily liquid derived from the liver of codfish. Fish oil consists of three main components- vitamin A, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids which makes fish oil so useful and valuable to human health.

Vitamin A (retinol) is contained in fish oil in large quantities. It is necessary for women who monitor the condition of their hair, nails, and skin. Vitamin A normalizes the state of the mucous membranes. Dry, splitting hair, feeling of tightness and dryness of the skin of the face, brittle nails are clear signs of a lack of vitamin A.
Vitamin D is responsible for transporting calcium and phosphorus to the cells of the body. Regular delivery of these elements is necessary to maintain the state of bones, teeth, for the stable activity of the nervous system.
The combination of vitamins A and D improves eyesight, having a direct impact on the quality of colour perception and the ability to see better in the dark.
Omega-3 is polyunsaturated fatty acids, perhaps, the main thing that fish oil is famous for. Why are they so useful? The fact is that the human body does not produce these acids, while their importance for it is crucial.
In addition to the four main components, fish oil includes microdose of iodine, iron, calcium, and magnesium.

Omega 3
As we have already mentioned, omega-3 is polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are an essential component of proper metabolism. They are an indispensable source of energy for the body and should account for 20% of the total daily consumed calories.
Pregnant women should pay special attention to the consumption of omega 3, as acids are necessary for proper development of the brain and organs of the fetus. Omega-3 is also a protection against early brain damage and control over concentration for older people. The proven health benefits of omega-3 are the following:
they have a healing effect on inflammation;
the fatty acids regulate blood pressure and body temperature;
they release energy (during splitting);
omega-3 participates in the formation of protective membranes of internal organs;
they reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases;
the acids reduce the risk of blood clots;
they reduce blood cholesterol levels;
omega-3 accelerates the healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers.

Besides, it is proved that omega-3 helps in the fight against overweight, stimulating fat metabolism in the body, and normalizing the digestive process. Simultaneously with this, it does not allow for weight loss during cancer and has a positive effect on its treatment.
Omega-3 is also a great opportunity to cheer yourself up. Acids inhibit the production of stress hormones and increase the amount of the “hormone of happiness,” which name is serotonin. Thus, we get a natural remedy for sudden stress or prolonged depression.
As a prophylactic agent, fish oil is useful for improving the immune system.

Cod liver oil benefits for skin
The benefits of cod liver oil for the skin is mainly due to the rich composition of this substance. It consists of:
minerals;
palmitic and oleic acids;
stearic, valeric, acetic acid;
vitamins A, D, E;
polyunsaturated fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6.
Benefits of cod liver oil are invaluable for the skin. This substance can nourish and moisturize dry skin. Cod liver oil has a positive effect on the skin, which tends to redness and irritation. Oil relieves inflammation and itching, has a general sedative effect. Cod liver oil is effective in the fight against pigmentation, and also helps to lighten the skin.
With regular use of cod liver oil and masks with it, you can prevent the appearance of the primary age-related changes. Besides, this remedy will be useful in combating existing wrinkles. Cod liver oil increases the amount of vitamin A in the body, so it is possible to activate the process of restoring the skin at the cellular level.
Undoubtedly, many girls know that lousy metabolism affects body and face. Fish oil can regulate metabolism. As a result, the body is cleansed of toxins, and the skin becomes healthier.
Fish oil will be useful not only for the skin of the face but also for the skin of the body as a whole. In addition to activating the regeneration processes, this useful substance helps moisturize, nourish, rejuvenate the skin and protect against external factors. Cod liver oil gives tissues elasticity, get rid of cracks on the legs and arms, smooth out uneven skin.
So, we can conclude that fish oil is used for such purposes as:
nutrition and elasticity of the skin;
reducing the number of wrinkles;
restoration of lipid metabolism;
complex treatment of acne.

Cod liver oil benefits for hair
Poor nutrition noticeably affects in a positive way the hair that became lifeless, dull, and brittle. Omega-3 deficiency slows down hair growth and damages the quality of hair.
Omega-3 nourishes hair follicles, makes hair healthy and shiny, accelerates hair growth. If you start taking cod liver oil capsules, you may not notice the difference in the first few weeks. But at the end of the month, you will see increased hair growth.
Cod liver oil for babies
The effect on the body of all these substances is huge, especially in childhood. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are involved in metabolic processes, improve blood flow in the brain, dilate blood vessels, and promote metabolic processes in brain tissues. These changes improve brain activity, contribute to the mental development of the child, increase the intellectual coefficient. Children develop their ability to understand and assimilate information better.
Fatty acids also prevent stress. This effect is associated with the stimulation of the production of serotonin, the hormone of happiness, as a result, cod liver oil improves mood, which is especially crucial for depression in adolescents.
Vitamin A is necessary for the excellent work of the organs of vision. It improves the ability of night vision and the perception of the colour spectrum of the surrounding world. It eliminates brittle hair and nails, improves the condition of the skin and mucous membranes of the digestive and respiratory systems.
Vitamin E has a pronounced antioxidant effect, i.e., it neutralizes free radicals formed during the process of metabolism, in the case of allergy, during an inflammatory reaction. Vitamin E helps reduce the risk of malignant diseases.
Contraindications
Consuming cod liver oil is prohibited if you have:
Allergic reaction to the fish or the substance.
Thyroid disease.
Diseases of the kidneys, urinary system.
Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
The active tuberculosis.
High calcium in the blood.
Elevated blood cholesterol.
If you are pregnancy or lactation.
Сod liver oil intake should be limited to people with low blood pressure, as well as to those who take blood pressure lowering remedies, as cod liver oil has similar properties.
Patients with diabetes can consume cod liver oil only under the supervision of an appropriate specialist. Until now, researchers in this area have not come to a unanimous opinion about whether it raises blood sugar levels or brings it back to normal.
The combined use of cod liver oil and other remedies, including homeopathy and folk remedies, can lead to various, often dangerous, complications. Therefore, be sure to discuss with the doctor everything that you take to avoid possible negative consequences.
A medical consultation is also necessary if you want to give cod liver oil to your child: accurate dosage and the proven manufacturer is the information that can protect against poisoning and other side effects.

Dosage of cod liver oil
If a person is completely healthy or his/her health condition does not correspond to any of the mentioned above issues, then the recommended consumption and dosage of cod liver oil is limited to three monthly courses during each year.
Cod liver oil can be used in liquid form, in capsules or as part of nutritional supplements. Modern manufacturers produce completely different in size and volume capsules containing cod liver oil. Therefore, the dosage should be carefully read in the instructions for the specific mеdication.
For those who cannot consume cod liver oil in pure form, all the necessary elements can be obtained directly from fish, using it at least once a week in the amount of 150 grams. In this case, do not get hung up on particularly fatty species. Besides, it is advisable to know where the fish you are going to cook came from and whether this region is considered environmentally friendly.

Practically everyone is aware of garlic benefits, although they mostly remember its benefits for strengthening immunity and in dealing with colds. While its other beneficial properties are less well known, not so many people know about garlic benefits for men's health.
Garlic contains a massive amount of various vitamins, trace elements, and nutrients. It is a source of vitamins C, B, and D, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, choline and phosphorus. An important component is selenium, which acts as a natural antioxidant.
As a result, the use of garlic due to selenium will reduce the risk of the formation of tumor diseases, and will slow down the aging of tissues. In a word, garlic has not only a composition, but a whole storehouse of useful components for the human body.
Garlic benefits for men
It has long been established that garlic is the most potent aphrodisiac. It helps in restoring the sexual function of men, increasing erectile abilities and normalizing potency. It benefits the entire body. Scientists, having conducted comprehensive studies, argue that regular eating raw garlic is an effective prevention of prostate cancer. And it reduces the risk of this terrible disease for a half.
There are even rawer garlic benefits. This product actively fights infectious diseases, many of which can cause male infertility. The use of garlic increases the potency, leading blood circulation in the sexual organ to normal. It happens because its normal functioning depends on the unobstructed flow of blood into the cavernous bodies of the penis. Moreover, it qualitatively increases the activity of spermatozoa.

We should also note these garlic benefits:
It prevents many infectious and viral diseases and the occurrence of prostate cancer. It is the best prophylactic against bacteria and viruses.
People use garlic to strengthen the immune system, which in itself provides reliable protection against all sorts of diseases and disorders.
Many substances that are part of the product have a tonic effect. They improve the functioning of the nervous system.
Helps to actively deal with diseases such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis.
With this product, you can effectively deal with the excess weight.
Sulfur strengthens the joints and accelerates the synthesis of methionine.
Garlic is useful when people fight such a problem as infertility. It not only increases the potency but also effectively helps to recover it.
Is garlic useful? Definitely, yes. But can people eat it in big amounts? No, it can cause a deterioration in the state of health and, in particular, of the central nervous system. Therefore, people should eat garlic in moderation.

Published
December 27, 2018
Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State on Thursday expressed support for the call on President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency in the state.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Yari, addressing newsmen at a press briefing in Gusau, said, “I am also in support of the declaration of state of emergency if it will save the lives of people of the state.”
He warned politicians against politicising the disturbing security situation in the state.
“We are talking about the lives of our people and this needs the coming together of all, so that the crisis can end.
“If the provisions of my office had allowed me to carry arms against the bandits, l would have done so.
“But, if I am not around, there are capable hands that collaborate with the security team in the fight against the bandits.
“The security men are doing their best. But, it is sad to know that some of the people involved in the kidnappings are close relatives or associates of the victims, which is part of the reasons the problem is persisting.
“We must all come together and expose anyone or group that is part of these hoodlums, and we should also pray for Allah’s intervention,” Yari said.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that bandits had continued to elude security measures put in place by both the State and Federal governments.

Boosting immunity through vegetables
(Natural News) Getting sick can be a person’s worst nightmare since it won’t just affect your physical condition, but can also affect other aspects of your life like your finances, work, or even your relationships with people. Fortunately, your immune system is there to protect you against most diseases just as long as it is given the support that it needs to function properly.
Throughout the day, your body encounters millions of pathogens from your surroundings that are effectively eliminated by your immune system. But like most defense systems, your immune system also becomes weak and tired, making you more vulnerable to diseases that you’re usually protected from. To keep illnesses at bay, here are some of the easiest and most effective ways to boost your immunity:
Drink plenty of fluids — A large portion of the body is made up of water, which should be enough to tell us just how important it is. By drinking eight glasses of water per day, you can effectively flush out the toxins from your body before they can cause any harm. Additionally, water helps deliver oxygen to the different cells all over the body so that they can function properly. Make it a goal to achieve the recommended daily intake of water but if you really find it difficult, you can start off by at least drinking one glass right after you wake up since the body tends to become dehydrated throughout the night.
Exercise — Physical activity has long been implicated in the prevention of heart disease, high blood pressure, and obesity, but it does much more than that. It also improves the immune system by promoting blood circulation, allowing immune cells to get the nutrients that they need to fight off pathogens and prevent the onset of diseases.
Manage stress levels — Stress has become a normal part of life that most people just ignore it. However, this should not be the case since stress constantly pushes the body to its limits in order to overcome it. Give your body some love by doing leisurely activities like reading, getting a massage, painting, or any other activity that you find enjoyable since these can trigger the release of happy chemicals that counter stress hormones.
Get adequate sleep — No matter how busy you are, always try to set aside eight hours of your day for sleep to give your body time to heal itself from the damage that it had incurred throughout the day. This allows it to replace immune cells like T cells that have become damaged or have died.
Eat probiotics — The gut contains 70 to 80 percent of your body’s overall immune system so it is very important that you take good care of it. One of the ways through which you can improve your gut health is by eating probiotic foods. This type of food, which includes kimchi, yogurt, and kombucha, contains beneficial bacteria that aid in digestion and in protecting against harmful bacteria that also reside in the gut. If you want to fully enjoy the benefits of probiotics, make sure to eat prebiotic foods like onions, garlic, and oatmeal as well to provide beneficial bacteria with indigestible fibers that they can use as food. (Related: Probiotics help bolster immunity, repair intestinal health, and support healthy pregnancy.)
Follow a well-balanced diet — Proper nutrition is key to keeping your immune system running so make sure to eat your share of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and carbohydrates. You should also stay away from highly processes foods that contain tons of sugar and harmful additives.
Herbs that boost your immunity
If you want to give your immune system some extra love, you can even use the following herbs which traditional Chinese medicine practitioners swear by:
100% organic essential oil sets now available for your home and personal care, including Rosemary, Oregano, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Clary Sage and more, all 100% organic and laboratory tested for safety. A multitude of uses, from stress reduction to topical first aid. See the complete listing here, and help support this news site.

Aisha Buhari and her cabals
Buhari slams wife over claim that cabal runs his govt
punchng.com Dec 26, 2018 6:51 AM
Buhari and Aisha
Olusola Fabiyi, John Alechenu, Samson Folarin and Godwin Isenyo
President Muhammadu Buhari has demanded evidence for the claim that his government is being run by a cabal.
He spoke in an interview with Voice of America, Hausa Service.
The President’s wife, Aisha Buhari, during an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation, Hausa Service, had first alleged that her husband was being controlled by a cabal.
She had said, “The President does not know 45 out of 50 of the people he appointed and I don’t know them either, despite being his wife of 27 years. Some people are sitting down in their homes folding their arms only for them to be called to come and head an agency or a ministerial position.”
She had threatened not to campaign for him if things continued that way.
The President had dismissed that statement by saying his wife belonged to the kitchen and the “other room.”
But while speaking at a leadership summit in Abuja earlier this month, Mrs Buhari challenged Nigerians to fight the “two or three people who have dominated this government.”
She said, “Our votes were 15.4 million in the last (presidential) election and after that only for us to be dominated by two people… this is totally unacceptable.
“If 15.4 million people can bring in a government and only for the government to be dominated by two people or three people, where are the men of Nigeria? Where are the Nigerian men? What are you doing? Instead of them to come together and fight them, they keep visiting them one after the other licking their shoes (I’m sorry to use those words).”
However, during the VOA chat, the interviewer asked Buhari to formally respond to the allegations in the light of his wife’s recent statement.
“Have you heard of the word cabal? So many people have spoken about the cabal; alleging that there are a few people in charge of this administration, that you are not the one in charge. Even your wife said something about this recently,” the VOA reporter had asked.
In response, President Buhari said, “That’s her business. It shows I am a real democrat… What they are saying is different from what is happening. They (those making these allegations) should come out and say those things they feel were stage-managed by the cabal, which I was forced to do. They should mention just one thing.”
Don’t run from your wife’s allegation, PDP tells Buhari
But the People Democratic Party advised the President not run away from the allegation levelled against him by his wife.
The PDP said the President had “tactically” admitted to the existence of a cabal in his government by claiming that the allegation had shown that he was a democrat.
The National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, who spoke with one of our correspondents while reacting to the interview by the President, said Buhari should not trivialise the allegation by his wife.
He said, “I read what the President said about the allegation by his wife. He tried in vain to trivialise it. But he failed.
“The President should not run away from the issue raised by his wife, who by her position and privilege is the closest person to him.
“The President should not try to be sarcastic. He should not trivialise such a serious allegation. He is claiming to be a democrat by the allegation and yet he is also asking the same wife to come and substantiate the same allegation.
“The President should not take us for a ride. He should rather come clean on it instead of trying to trivialise it.”
Besides, the President’s wife, some of the President’s allies including the Comptroller General of Customs, Col. Hameed Ali (retd.), had alleged that those who were in the frontlines during Buhari’s struggle for power were relegated to the background while those who were nowhere during the struggle were calling the shots.
He even alleged that members of and supporters of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party whom he claimed constituted 50 per cent of those holding public office were responsible for the President’s perceived failures.
He spoke during the inauguration of the Buhari Support Organisation Campaign Office earlier this year.

If you consume this mixture daily, this will definitely add up to your energy and well-being.

The Prophecy of the coming of a "Messenger" after Jesus Christ(pbuh):-
PBUH- Peace Be Upon Him
John 14:16:-
Jesus Christ said "And I will pray the father, he shall send another comforter, that he may abide with you"
John 15:26:-
Jesus Christ said "And when the comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the father, even the spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the father, he shall testify me".
John 16:12–14:-
Again Jesus Christ said " I have many things to say unto you but you cannot bear them now. How be it, when he the spirit of truth is come, he will guide you unto all truth, he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that he shall speak, he shall show you things to come. He shall glorify me."
The above verses clearly refer to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as he was the the only religious figure after Jesus Christ who testified Jesus Christ as an article of faith. He 'glorified' Jesus Christ and Muslims are the only other people who believe in Jesus Christ. No Muslim is a Muslim if he doesn't believe in Jesus Christ. . . . . But as a Mighty Messenger of God and not as Son of God.
The following verse confirms that the comforter being prophesied is indeed Prophet Muhammad.
Again, Isaiah 29:12 :-
" And the book is delivered to him who is not learned, saying read this, I pray thee, and he saith, I am not learned".
When angel Gabriel commanded Prophet Muhammad by saying 'Iqra' meaning 'read', Prophet Muhammad replied ' I am not learned'. These lines are the first verses of the Qur'an which were revealed upon Prophet Muhammad(pbuh).

Song of Solomon 5:16 : His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.
The word ‘altogether lovely’ in the original Hebrew text is מחמד, which is read ‘Mahammad’.
Here’s the Song of Solomon 5:16 being recited by a Rabbi in Hebrew.
Skip to 2:30 : http://www.mechon-mamre.org/mp3/...
John 16:7–11 : Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
John 16:12–14 : “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me."
John 14:16–17 : "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you."
John 14:26 : But the Helper, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
Who is this Helper that Jesus say, will come after he’s gone?
Genesis 49:10 : The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people.
Some writers, like David Benjamin, believe that the Hebrew word Shiloh is actually a distortion of the Hebrew word "Shaluh" which means "Apostle/Messenger/One to be sent" or of the Hebrew word "Shiluah" which means "Apostle of God".
This verse says that there will come a Prophet who will take away the kingship and prophethood from the Tribe of Judah. Jesus was from the lineage of Judah. It clearly refers to someone who came after Jesus and is not from the Tribe of Judah.
Isaiah 29:12 : And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
This verse refers to the Prophet Muhammad’s first divine revelation, when Archangel Gabriel appeared before him and said, “Read”, upon which he replied, “I am not learned”.
Isaiah 42:1–4 : "Behold! My Servant, whom I uphold; My Elect One, in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
2
He shall not cry out, nor raise His voice, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
3
A bruised reed shall He not break, and smoking flax shall He not quench. In truth He shall bring forth justice.
4
He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till He has established justice in the earth; and the islands shall wait for His law."
The first verse begins with: "Behold my Servant, whom I uphold; mine Elect...". The Hebrew word which was translated to "whom I uphold" is "אתמך"(Etmokh). This word never appears anywhere in the entire Bible except here.Muslim authors, pointing to the similarity between the writing of "אתמך"(etmokh) and the writing of "אחמד" which is the name Ahmad, suggested that an intended distortion might have been done by the scribes of Scripture in the first verse of this chapter in order to hide the name of the Chosen Servant of God which is "אחמד" (Ahmad).
Isaiah 42:10-13 : Sing unto the Lord a new song, and His praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the islands, and the inhabitants thereof!
11
Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12
Let them give glory to the Lord, and declare His praise in the islands.
13
The Lord shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: He shall cry, yea, roar; He shall prevail against His enemies.
Isaiah 42:13 is believed to be a prophecy of the Muslim conquests. "The new song" is often interpreted as a reference to the Arabic Qur'an or to the Adhan "the Islamic call to prayer". The Islands could be a reference to Indonesia and Malaysia. The mention of Mount Sela‘ "the mountain of Medina" and the mention of Kedar "the forefather of Muhammad", in verse 11, is also considered by Muslims to be a proof.
Habakkuk 3:3 : God will come from the south, and the holy one from mount Pharan: His glory covered the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise.
Since there is no connection between Jesus and Mount Pharan "the Mount of Ishmael"(near Mecca), Muslims argue that the "holy one" in this verse is Muhammad.

There are three primary passages in the Bible that Muslims often point to as prophecies of the coming of Muhammad: Deuteronomy 18:15-22, Song of Solomon 5:16, and John 16:5-11.
First, in regards to Deuteronomy 18:15-22, the immediate context of this passage refers back to verses 9-14. There Moses warns the people of the danger of false prophets. God's people are to avoid any and all who presume to speak authoritatively about spiritual truth apart from God’s truth. What is God’s truth? Verse 15 says a particular prophet will arise from the Jews (i.e., “your own brothers”) who will be like Moses. Notice that it's not just any prophet, as there have been many, but a special prophet. People who studied and believed the Old Testament writings were looking for this particular, special prophet. In fact, some Jewish leaders thought the fiery preacher John the Baptist might be the fulfillment of Moses' prophecy (see John 1:19-30). John the Baptist, however, said that he was the forerunner of the prophet of whom Moses spoke, not the prophet Himself.
Who then is this prophet spoken of in the Bible? He is clearly none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. John 1:43-45 records that the early followers of Jesus understood He was the prophet of whom Moses wrote. Jesus Himself declared this about Himself (Luke 24:27). The most complete statement pointing to Jesus as the promised prophet is found in Acts 3:12-26. The deacon, Stephen, reiterated this in Acts 7:37. Such notable men as John the Baptist, Philip, Peter, and Stephen all testified that Jesus Christ, not Muhammad, is the prophet predicted in Deuteronomy 18:15-22.
Second, in Song of Solomon 5:16, the maiden says of her lover, 'His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.' The word translated as 'lovely' is the Hebrew word machamadim. It is the plural of machamad, which means “lovely, cute, or desirable.” Although it is the root word of Muhammad, it does not follow that the verse refers to Muhammad, especially since the word used is a plural adjective, not the name of a person.
Finally, in John 16:5-11, Jesus prophesies that after He leaves, the Counselor will come, and this Counselor will “convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment” (John 16:8). Who is this Counselor? Jesus Himself gives the answer a few verses later in John 16:13, “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth…” Jesus explicitly identifies the Counselor as the Holy Spirit. Jesus previously had used very similar terminology to predict the coming of the Holy Spirit: “But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name…” (John 14:26). It is abundantly clear in the Bible that the Counselor Jesus prophesied was the Holy Spirit, not Muhammad.
In conclusion, the Bible nowhere specifically predicts the coming of Muhammad. Muhammad was not the prophet Moses predicted, and Muhammad was not the Counselor Jesus predicted. Since the message of Muhammad contradicts the message of Jesus and the Bible on many points, the only biblical prophecy that would apply to the coming of Muhammad would be Matthew 24:11, “And many false prophets will appear and deceive many people…”

Muhammad in Song of Solomon 5:16?
The Qur'an puts Muslim apologists in a difficult position by claiming that the Bible contains clear prophecies about Muhammad (see Qur'an 7:157 and 61:6). Muslim writers, speakers, and debaters have had nearly fourteen centuries to find these prophecies, so if they can't show us where the Bible talks about Muhammad, we can only conclude that the Qur'an is wrong when it appeals to the Bible for support.
Some of the arguments our Muslim friends use seem to be based on sheer desperation. For instance, popular Muslim apologists like Zakir Naik and Shabir Ally claim that Muhammad is mentioned by name in Song of Solomon 5:16. Zakir Naik writes:
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned by name in the Song of Solomon chapter 5 verse 16:
"Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem."
"His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem."
In the Hebrew language -im is added for respect. Similarly -im is added after the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to make it Muhammadim. In English translation they have even translated the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as "altogether lovely", but in the Old Testament in Hebrew, the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is yet present.
Now what remains is for us to specify where in the Bible to find mention of our prophet. In the Old Testament there are many references. The most significant is Song of Solomon, chapter 5, verse 16. This verse mentions our prophet by name. It says in the Hebrew language Bibles "He is Muhammad." But English translations have "He is altogether lovely" instead of the real truth. You need to insist that, since it says our prophet's name in the Hebrew, the "altogether lovely" translation is nothing more than a camouflage hiding our prophet's name. Tell every Bible reader whether Jew or Christian to ask any Hebrew scholar to read the Hebrew word which appears as "altogether lovely" in the translation. You will hear that word pronounced "Muhammad." Why then hide what you should believe?
For anyone who has read Song of Solomon, this is an amazing verse to cite as evidence for Islam! Song of Solomon is a short poetic book about a loving, physical relationship between Solomon and his bride (there are a variety of interpretations, but none will help turn this into a prophecy about Muhammad). Some Muslims claim that this book can't be the Word of God, because of the way Solomon and his bride talk about each other's bodies. For example, in chapter 7, verses 1-3, Solomon says to his bride:
How beautiful your sandaled feet, O prince's daughter!
Your graceful legs are like jewels, the work of an artist's hands. Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies. Your breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle.
Solomon continues praising her body. And yet Muslims go to this book to find a prophecy about Muhammad!
Let's turn to chapter 5, which supposedly mentions Muhammad by name. In the first verse of the chapter, Solomon says:
I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice. I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk.
Solomon talks about drinking wine. But again, Muslims go to this chapter to find a prophecy about Muhammad!
Let's read the so-called prophecy of Muhammad in context. In verse 8, Solomon's bride says to her friends, "Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you—if you find my beloved, what will you tell him? Tell him I am faint with love."
Her friends respond in verse 9 by asking her, "How is your beloved better than others, most beautiful of women?"
She answers them in verses 10 through 16. Let's read the passage and see if we can spot the prophecy about Muhammad.
Solomon's bride says:
My beloved is radiant and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand.
His head is purest gold; his hair is wavy and black as a raven.
His eyes are like doves by the water streams,
washed in milk, mounted like jewels.
His cheeks are like beds of spice yielding perfume. His lips are like lilies dripping with myrrh.
His arms are rods of gold set with topaz. His body is like polished ivory decorated with lapis lazuli.
His legs are pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as its cedars.
His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.
This last verse, according to our Muslim friends, is somehow about Muhammad. Why should we interpret this verse as a prophecy about Muhammad? Muslims reason that, since the Hebrew for "altogether lovely" is machmadim, and machmadim sounds somewhat similar to the name "Muhammad," the verse is actually referring to Muhammad by name. (Note: Zakir Naik claims that the suffix -im is "added for respect" in Hebrew, but this is sheer nonsense. The suffix -im is added to form the plural, which may be a plural of intensity, i.e., "altogether." But let's forgive this blunder and pretend that the word used is the singular "machmad," which is closer to "Muhammad.") So Song of Solomon 5:16 should be translated:
His mouth is sweetness itself; he is Muhammad. This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.
Notice a couple of points here. First, this is Solomon's bride talking. So if Solomon's bride is delivering a prophecy about Muhammad, then she is a prophetess, according to our Muslim friends (unless the author of Song of Solomon is merely portraying her as a prophetess).
Second, the bride is praising a man's body. This makes perfect sense if she's talking about her husband. But if our Muslim friends insist that she's talking about Muhammad, they're accusing Solomon's bride of lusting after another man (Muhammad) in a vision given to her by God.
Third, if 5:16 is about Muhammad, then Solomon's wife calls Muhammad her "beloved." But in chapter 7, verse 10, she says, "I belong to my beloved, and his desire is for me." Since Muhammad is her beloved (according to the Islamic interpretation), she declares in 7:10 that she belongs to Muhammad and that Muhammad desires her. How did Solomon's bride belong to Muhammad? Why would Muhammad desire a woman who had been dead for more than fifteen centuries?
Either Song of Solomon is an extremely troubling story about a time-traveling adulterous love affair between Solomon's bride and Muhammad, or the book simply has nothing to do with Muhammad.
But things get worse for our Muslim friends. The word machmad is used in many places in the Old Testament. It refers to something pleasing, treasured, or lovely. So if machmad is actually Muhammad's name, we need to be consistent and say that wherever the word machmad is used, it's referring to Muhammad. Let's consider two passages that use the word machmad and see what happens if we translate the word as "Muhammad."
In Ezekiel 24:16, Ezekiel's wife is called "machmad," because she's treasured by Ezekiel. So if machmad means "Muhammad," Muhammad must have been Ezekiel's wife! Is that what any Muslim believes? Of course not. So why do Muslims keep telling us that machmad means "Muhammad"?
Just five verses later in Ezekiel, God tells the children of Israel that Jerusalem will be conquered and that the temple will be destroyed. He says, "I am about to desecrate my sanctuary—the stronghold in which you take pride, the delight of your eyes" (Ezekiel 24:21). The word "delight" here is machmad. So if machmad is the name "Muhammad," God is promising to desecrate Muhammad! Is that what Shabir Ally and Zakir Naik want us to believe God is saying? (For further uses of machmad, see 1 Kings 20:6; 2 Chronicles 36:19; Lamentations 1:10-11; 2:4; Isaiah 64:11; Ezekiel 24:25; Hosea 9:6; and Joel 3:5.)
This is what happens when Muslim apologists try to force Muhammad into the Bible. They go to a passage in which Solomon's bride is praising her husband's body, and they expect us to believe that she's actually having adulterous thoughts about a future prophet. Shabir Ally and Zakir Naik take a perfectly normal Hebrew word and try to transform it into a prophecy of Muhammad, but in doing so they end up claiming that Muhammad was Ezekiel's wife and that God promises to desecrate him!
Since Shabir calls Song of Solomon 5:16 the "most significant" reference to Muhammad in the entire Old Testament, we can only wonder how persuasive the rest are!

What does the Bible say about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)?
What does the telephone book from 1950 say about your current phone number? Nothing? Maybe because you haven’t been alive back then? There you go. The Bible was written centuries before Muhammad was even born. Therefore it says nothing about him.

Yes, Muhammad (pbuh) was mentioned in the Bible and Old Testament.
Muhammad (pbuh) is prophesised in the book of Isaiah:
It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12:
“And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.”
When Archangel Gabrail commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by saying Iqra – “Read”, he replied, “I am not learned”. So this verse is talking about Muhammad (pbuh) as he was not learned, and the first word revealed to him was 'read' just as the verse mentioned.
Here is another verse from the Bible:
"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him." (Deuteronomy 18:18)
In this verse, God is telling Moses that there will be a prophet 'like unto thee', which means that there will be a prophet like Moses. Who is this referring to?
Jesus is like Moses because he was also a Jew and a prophet. However, that means that this verse could also apply to Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist etc., because they were also ALL 'Jews' as well as 'prophets'. This verse is not referring to Jesus as him and Moses only have two similarities. This verse is referring to Muhammad (pbuh) because he was like Moses.
Here are a few reasons why Muhammad was like Moses (peace be upon them both):
1. Moses had a father and mother. Muhammad (pbuh) had a father and a mother. Jesus only had a mother.
2. Muhammad and Moses were both born in the normal, natural course. But Jesus was created by a special miracle (Gospel of St. Matthew 1:18)
3. Muhammad and Moses married women and begot children, but Jesus remained unmarried.
4. Moses and Muhammad were accepted as prophets by their people although they went through hardships. But Jesus was rejected by his people (John 1:11).
5. Muhammad and Moses both brought new laws, but Jesus did not (Mathew 5: 17-18).
6. Muhammad and Moses both died natural deaths, but according to Christianity Jesus was killed on the cross.
7. Muhammad and Moses both lie buried in earth, but Jesus rests in the Heavens.
8. Muhammad and Moses were both spiritual and national leaders, Jesus was only a spiritual leader.
9. Muhammad and Moses were both victorious morally and spiritually, Jesus had a spiritual victory.
Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses, (Peace be upon them all)
The above verse also says 'From among their brethren'. Moses and his people, the Jews, are addressed as a racial entity, and as such their brethren are the Arabs. Ishmael and Isaac are the sons of the same father Abraham, then they are brothers. And so the children of the one are the brethren of the children of the other. The children of Isaac are the Jews and the children of Ishmael are the Arabs; they are brethren to one another. The children of Isaac are the brethren of the Ishmaelites. Muhammad (pbuh) is from the brethren of the Israelites because he was a descendant of Ishmael. The prophecy mentions that the coming prophet who would be like Moses, must NOT arise from the 'Children of Israel' or from 'among themselves'but from their brethren. Muhammad (pbuh) therefore was among their brethren and he was the prophet mentioned in the prophecy.
Muhammad is also mentioned by NAME in the Hebrew Bible and Songs of Solomon.

Muhammad lived in he ninth century 700 years after the writing of the Bible was completed. Muhammad believed that both the Jews and Christians had failed to be faithful to God. He was not wrong, the Jews had rejected God’s son and had lost their nation to the Romans, and the great apostasy Jesus foretold had taken hold of the Churches of Christianson who had adopted pagan teachings and abandoned obedience to Christ.
2 Peter 2:1 — However, there also came to be false prophets among the people, as there will also be false teachers among you. These very ones will quietly bring in destructive sects and will disown even the owner that bought them, bringing speedy destruction upon themselves.
Muhammad said he received a new teaching conveyed to him by angel. But Galatians 1:8 had warned that any teaching beyond what Jesus taught should be rejected even if it came from an angel.
Galatians 1:8 — However, even if we or an angel out of heaven were to declare to you as good news something beyond the good news we declared to you, let him be accursed.
2 Corinthians 11:14 — And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light.

BIBLICAL PROPHECY ON THE ADVENT OF MUHAMMAD (peace be upon him)
John 14:15-16—
“If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father and He shall give you another Comforter that he may abide with you forever.”
Muslim theologians have said that “another Comforter” is Muhammad (PBUH), the Messenger of Allah; and him to “abide forever” means the perpetuity of his laws and way of life (Shari ‘ah) and the Book (Quran) which was revealed to him.
John 15:26-27 —
“But when die Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.”
John 16:5-8 —
“But now I go my way to Him that sent me and none of you asketh me ‘Whither goest thou?’ But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and approve righteousness and judgment.”
John 16:12-14 —
“l have yet many things to say unto you. but you cannot bear them now. How be it when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and he shall shew it unto you.”
John 16:l6—
“A little while and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.”
Muslim theologians have stated that the person who is described by Jesus to come after him — in the above verses — does not comply with any other person but Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) the Messenger of Allah. This ‘person’ whom Jesus prophesied will come after him is called in the Bible ‘Parqaleeta’. This word was deleted by later interpreters and translators and changed at times to ‘Spirit of Truth’, and at other times, to ‘Comforter’ and sometimes to ‘Holy Spirit’. The original word is Greek and its meaning is ‘one whom people praise exceedingly.’ The sense of the word is applicable to the word ‘Muhammad’ (in Arabic).

Tiger nuts an immunity boosting and anti aging agent
Tiger nuts are an important culinary and nutritive crop in various parts of the world and have been throughout history, but there are many surprising benefits of this popular tuber.
What are Tiger Nuts?
Tiger nuts are the edible tubers of the Cyperus esculentus plant, which has been cultivated for at least 9,000 years for its nutrient density and oils. These nuts aren’t actually nuts, although they are commonly referred to as earth almonds. While these plants are considered weeds in certain places, the dense nutrient profile of these tubers make them an important crop and source of starch – far more than sweet potatoes and regular potatoes.
Tiger Nuts Nutrition
In terms of nutritive value, tiger nuts also possess high levels of fiber, magnesium, potassium, and protein, as well as calcium, vitamin E, iron, and vitamin C. Their high starch content means a high carbohydrate level, and there are approximately 120 calories in one ounce of these nuts. There is also a good amount of healthy fats, primarily oleic and linoleic acid, which are healthy monounsaturated fats.
Tiger Nuts Benefits
The most impressive benefits of tiger nuts include their ability to improve cardiovascular health, reduce cholesterol levels, prevent diabetes, relieve headaches, and lower your risk of cancer, among others.
Digestion
Dietary fiber is essential for stimulating digestion and peristaltic motion and thus reducing symptoms of both constipation and diarrhea.
Cardiovascular Health
Potassium has a particularly high presence in these tubers, which is a natural vasodilator, and thus able to lower blood pressure and protect cardiovascular health.
Diabetes
While there is a lot of starch in these tubers, they are complex carbohydrates and can help to control blood sugar levels in the body and moderate symptoms of diabetes.
Anti-aging Properties
With antioxidant vitamins like vitamin E, as well as polyphenolic compounds, these tubers have a strong antioxidant potential and can prevent premature aging, wrinkles, blemishes, and age spots.
Headaches
The anti-inflammatory nature of these tubers is well studied, and it can help cut down on the pain and discomfort of migraines and headaches.
Cancer
As with any antioxidant food, these tubers can reduce free radical activity and lower your risk of cancer and chronic inflammation.
Immune System
There is a good amount of vitamin C in these tubers, which can provide a boost to the immune system.
Cholesterol
With beneficial fats like oleic and linoleic fatty acids, these tubers can lower overall cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease.
Weight Loss
Despite having a moderate amount of calories, the high fiber content can keep you feeling full, thus preventing overeating and snacking, and aiding weight loss efforts.
How to Eat Tiger Nuts?
While they are hard in texture and difficult to eat raw, after soaking them in water, they can be eaten easily, as well as roasted, dried, baked or turned into tiger nut milk.
If you toast these tiny tubers, they can be chopped and sprinkled on salads or soups as a flavorful and nutritious burst.
Perhaps the most famous use of tiger nuts, however, is in the creation of the Spanish drink – horchata – made with cinnamon, or perhaps even blended with dates.
Mixing the tubers with nuts, chocolate, and dried fruit also makes for a delicious trail mix.
Tiger Nuts Side Effects
There are very few side effects of eating these nuts aside from the following:
Gastrointestinal problems: If you consume too many of these tubers, the high level of dietary fiber could have a constipating effect, so be sure to consume these nuts in moderation.
Potential allergic reactions: Allergies to these tubers are possible and may manifest as stomach issues, such as nausea, vomiting, or excess flatulence.

But have you ever stopped to really think about the damage you’re doing and how diet can play an important role in keeping your liver healthy?

1) Cabbage: Cabbage isn’t to everyones taste but if you don’t mind it, it’s well worth eating more of it as it boosts enzymes in your liver that eliminate pesky toxins.
2) Broccoli: Broccoli is perhaps more well-known as a “brain food” but it also supports your liver – just like its brassica vegetable siblings, such as cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts.
3) Grapefruit: One of the most bitter fruits on the planet, grapefruit is a great way to get your metabolism firing in the morning. It’s a bit of an acquired taste but if you love it, it’s time to eat more of it as grapefruit cleanses your liver and supports its abilities to flush toxins out of your system.
4) Avocado: Avocado is everywhere at the moment and we promote it a lot on Beauty and Tips – and for good reason. It’s a fruit that everyone seems to be eating, from your hipster friends to your mom and her sewing circles.
5) Olive Oil: Many of us are unsure of what oil we should be cooking with, but if you want to look after your liver, olive oil is a very good option. Olive oil shouldn’t be used excessively but – like flaxseed and hemp – it provides support for your liver by shouldering some of its duties.
6) Beets: A really colourful and vibrant vegetable, the humble beetroot supports your liver by kicking into touch nasty carcinogens that are intent on causing as much damage as possible.
7) Garlic: There are two reasons why you should eat more garlic: To ward off vampires and to support your liver. And we’re only kidding about one of those reasons. In fact, nutritionists, scientists and health experts are all in agreement that we should try to eat garlic at least once per day.
8) Coffee: All the best mornings start with coffee, so let’s start this list with it! While we all know how amazing coffee is for our energy levels and alertness, coffee also works wonders for our liver. In fact, studies have demonstrated that coffee can even protect us from liver disease.
