flower 1There is a lot of confusion about the names of this herb: It is referred by a multitude of names which, in other sources, might mean something else entirely. In some English sources, it is called Black Cumin, but I think this is a poor choice, as the name “Black Cumin” is already reserved for another, somewhat obscure, herb from Central Asia and Northern India. I have also read the name “Black Caraway” (for its usage, together with caraway, in Jewish rye breads) and “black onion seed” (motivated by the similarity to the seeds of onion); but there is no botanical relation between Nigella and any of these plants. In the USA, Nigella is often known as Charnushka (deriving from the Russian name Chernushka [чернушка] and probably introduced into American English by Armenian emigrants). The Hindi term Kalonji is widely used by Indians even when speaking English.

flower 2Moreover, Nigella is sometimes confused with black sesame seeds; occasonally, it is even named such. More rarely, there is confusion with Ajwain, which in some languages bears similar names; Ajwain itself is notorious for being confounded with numerous other plants.

flower 3Note, however, to avoid confusion, one should always look for the "Black Seed's Latin Botanical Name: Nigella Sativa.

For thousands of years, people around the world have recognized the tremendous healing properties of this legendary herb: Nigella Sativa, or Black seed.

In the Sahihain it is narrated that Abu Hurairah (Arabic: أبو هريرة), (also known as `Abd al-Rahman ibn Sakhr Al-Azdi (Arabic: عبدالرحمن بن صخر الأذدي), Abu Hurayrah, or Abu Horaira) (603 - 681) was a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the narrator of Hadith most quoted in the isnad by Sunni Muslims) Radhiallahu 'anhu (May Allah Be Pleased With Him): related from Prophet, (Muhammad) that he said:

"Use the Black Seed, because it contains a cure for every type of ailment, except for death." [At-Tirmidhi, Ahmad and Ibn Hibban].

Salim Bin Abdullah narrates with reference to his father Hazrat Abdullah Bin Omar that Rasool Allah (Pbuh) said, “Let fall these black seeds upon you, these contain cure for all diseases except death.”

The same narration is found in Sanad-e-Ahmed from Hazrat Aisha (t) and in Ibn-al-Jozi and Trimizi from Abu Huraira. Hazrat Buraida narrates that Prophet, (Muhammad) stated - “Shooneez is cure for all ailments except death.”

It is stated in the books of seerat that Nabi-e-Akram (Pbuh) himself used to take these seeds for therapeutic purpose but with the syrup of Honey.

Khalid Bin Saad states that he was travelling with Ghalib Bin Jabr, when fell ill during the journey. Ibn Abi Ateeq (nephew of Hazrat Aisha) Came to meet us. On seeing the patient, he took 5 or 7 seeds of Kalonji and ground it, mixed it in Olive oil and dropped in both nostrils, Hazrat Aisha told us that Prophet, (Muhammad) stated that there was cure in Black Seeds for all ailments except sam. I asked him, what was sam? he told “Death”. Ghalib Bin Jabr became healthy with that treatment. Observations of the scholars of Hadith reveal that shooneez is equally effective for the diseases due to heat and cold.
