تلبینہ)
(ہر فرد اور ہر گھر کی ضرورت)
: “رسول اللہ ﷺ کے اہل خانہ میں سے جب کوئی بیمار ہوتا تھا تو حکم ہوتا کہ اس کیلئے تلبینہ تیار کیا جائے۔ پھر فرماتے تھے کہ تلبینہ بیمار کے دل سے غم کو اُتار دیتا ہے اور اس کی کمزوری کو یوں اتار دیتا ہے جیسے کہ تم میں سے کوئی اپنے چہرے کو پانی سے دھو کراس سے غلاظت اُتار دیتا ہے۔'' (ابن ماجہ)
رسول اللہﷺ نے حضرت جبرئیلؑ سے فرمایا کہ: جبرئیلؑ میں تھک جاتا ہوں۔ حضرت جبرئیلؑ نے جواب میں عرض کیا: اے الله کے رسولﷺ آپ تلبینہ استعمال کریں
آج کی جدید سائینسی تحقیق نے یہ ثابت کیا ہے کہ جو میں دودھ کے مقابلے میں 10 گنا ذیادہ کیلشیئم ہوتا ہے اور پالک سے ذیادہ فولاد موجود ہوتا ہے، اس میں تمام ضروری وٹامنز بھی پائے جاتے ہیں
پریشانی اور تھکن کیلئے بھی تلبینہ کا ارشاد ملتا ہے۔
نبی ﷺ فرماتے کہ یہ مریض کے دل کے جملہ عوارض کا علاج ہے اور دل سے غم کو اُتار دیتا ہے۔'' (بخاری' مسلم' ترمذی' نسائی' احمد)
جب کوئی نبی ﷺ سے بھوک کی کمی کی شکایت کرتا تو آپ اسے تلبینہ کھانے کا حکم دیتے اورفرماتے کہ اس خدا کی قسم جس کے قبضہ میں میری جان ہے یہ تمہارے پیٹوں سے غلاظت کو اس طرح اتار دیتا ہے جس طرح کہ تم میں سے کوئی اپنے چہرے کو پانی سے دھو کر صاف کرلیتا ہے
۔نبی پاک ﷺ کومریض کیلئے تلبینہ سے بہتر کوئی چیز پسند نہ تھی۔ اس میں جَو کے فوائد کے ساتھ ساتھ شہد کی افادیت بھی شامل ہوجاتی تھی۔ مگر وہ اسے نیم گرم کھانے' بار بار کھانے اور خالی پیٹ کھانے کو زیادہ پسند کرتے تھے۔ (بھرے پیٹ بھی یعنی ہر وقت ہر عمر کا فرد اس کو استعمال کرسکتا ہے۔ صحت مند بھی ' مریض بھی)

If you are having a difficult time suffering from medical conditions like hypertension, arthritis, asthma, impotence, skin problems, anemia, obesity, constipation, diabetes, kidney problems or heart
diseases, perhaps it’s time for you to learn about the health benefits
of barley. The benefits are mostly attributed to the eight essential
amino acids which it contains, meaning that it represents the complete
protein requirement in our diet. Recent research says that consuming
whole grain barley also regulates blood sugar to a great extent.
There are so many rampant ailments occurring in recent years, which
prove that even our regular diet lacks important nutrients. One of the
most important nutrients that we often tend to neglect is fiber. Barley is an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble fiber, which assures you good overall health in the long term.
Before we move on to the health benefits, you will be pleased to know
that you can consume it in many kinds of preparations like salads,
soups, stew, and even with chicken, mutton or in the tandoori style. Therefore, it does not add value just to your health but also to your palate.
Health Benefits of Barley
Barley is used for skin care, boosting immunity, and preventing disorders such as osteoporosis, gallstones, and diabetes. Let us look at the common benefits in detail:
Keeps Intestine Healthy
Barley, being an excellent source of fiber, keeps your body
toxin-free. Its grass, which is rich in dietary fiber, acts as a fuel
source to the friendly bacteria in our large intestine. These bacteria
help in fermenting the fiber content of barley, thereby forming butyric
acid, which is the primary fuel for intestinal cells. It is greatly
effective in maintaining a healthy colon. By keeping the intestine in
proper health, it helps you decrease the movement time of feces and also
keeps your stomach clean. It greatly reduces the chances of colon cancer and hemorrhoids as well.
Protects against Gallstones
Barley effectively helps women avoid developing gallstones. Since
it is rich in insoluble fiber, it actually helps you reduce bile acid
secretion, thereby increasing insulin sensitivity and lowering the
triglyceride levels. An article in the American Journal of
Gastroenterology says that women consuming a fibrous diet have 17% lower
risk of gallstones as compared to other women.
Prevents Osteoporosis
The phosphorus and
copper content in barley grass
guarantees an overall health of bones. If you have osteoporosis, it can
be your natural remedy. Its juice is known to have 11 times more calcium content than milk. Calcium, as we know, is one of the key components in protecting bone health. We need manganese for normal bone production, as well as in cases of iron deficiency anemia. The manganese content found in barley works in association with B-complex vitamins; thereby, keeping the overall health intact.
Boosts Immune System
Being highly nutritious, barley is particularly helpful as it
strengthens your immune system and reduces the chances of cold and flu.
Iron improves the blood volume and prevents anemia and fatigue. It aids
in proper kidney functioning and the development of body cells.
Furthermore, it contains copper, which forms hemoglobin and red blood
cells.
Skin Care
Barley is a good source of selenium,
which helps preserve skin elasticity, thereby protecting it against
free radical damage and loosening. Moreover, it also improves our heart,
pancreas, and immune system functioning. A deficiency of selenium can
lead to cancers of the skin, colon, prostate, liver, stomach, and breast.
Controls Cholesterol Levels
Barley’s insoluble fiber yields propionic acid that helps keep blood cholesterol levels
low. Being an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble fibers, it
is also specifically recommended by doctors for its naturally low-fat
content and zero cholesterol properties.
Manages Diabetes
Barley effectively helps control type 2 diabetes. However, one can prevent this type of diabetes by losing weight, getting involved in a vigorous physical activity, and including abundant whole grains in the diet. Therefore, high fiber foods should be included in the daily diet of diabetic patients. Its grain has all the essential vitamins and minerals,
particularly beta-glucan soluble fiber that slows down glucose
absorption. The December 2006 edition of Nutrition Research proved that
insulin-resistant men who consumed barley beta-glucan soluble fiber had
significantly reduced glucose and insulin levels as compared to other
test subjects.
Prevents Cancer
Barley contains certain types of phytonutrients known as plant
lignans, which are transformed by the friendly flora in our intestines
into mammalian lignans. One of these new lignans is called
enterolactone, which helps prevent breast and other hormonal cancers as well as coronary heart diseases.
Protects Heart Health
Atherosclerosis is a condition when the artery walls thicken due to the coagulation or deposition of fatty materials like cholesterol. Barley contains niacin
(a B vitamin complex) that reduces the overall cholesterol and
lipoprotein levels and minimizes cardiovascular risk factors.
Postmenopausal women having
high blood pressure, high cholesterol or cardiovascular diseases are
specifically recommended to have it at least 6 times a week.
Prevents Asthma
14.5 kDa is a barley endosperm protein and a major allergen in baker’s asthma
disease. This is an airborne occupational ailment, mostly prevalent in
confectioneries and bakeries. It proves to be a very effective
preventive measure for such kinds of major wheat-flour allergens.
Barley Grass is the seedling of its plant. This
grass is usually harvested about 200 days after germination, while the
shoots are not even a foot tall. People consume it in this form because
the young leaves are rich in minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and amino
acids. Although its grains have much more dietary fiber in comparison,
the grass has high levels of chlorophyll that detoxifies your body from harmful toxins.
Hulled Barley is also known as covered barley and is usually eaten after removing the inedible, fibrous outer hull.
It is a great source of healthy nutrients. It takes a long time to soak
when used in regular cooking. However, the time is worth it,
considering the utility of dehulled barley when you’re finished. Once
the hull is removed, it’s known as dehulled, pot or scotch barley, which
is commercially popular and is a very marketable product. The process
of removing the bran and polishing is known as “pearling”.
Pearl Barley is easily available in the grocery
stores and is probably one of the most common ingredients for breakfast
and snacks recipes all over the world. It is actually the hulled barley
that is processed and the bran is removed. It is processed into a host
of products like flours and flakes, which resemble oatmeal or grits.
Barley Green Powder is well known for its medicinal
benefits. It is actually the powdered form of barley grass. These
grasses are found in a variety of flavors and have superior solubility.
Therefore, you can also consume them in the form of juice.
Barley Flour is often used, alternatively, as wheat
flour or cake flour. The flour obtained from grinding whole barley is
richer in nutrition than the pearl variety flour since the bran in the
former remains undamaged. It contains some gluten and has been very
popular in confectioneries that tend to experiment with alternate kinds
of flours. It has a mild, nutty flavor, and has comparatively lower
rates of calories and higher levels of fiber.
Barley Water is effective when your kidneys need rest from excessive stress. People suffering from kidney and bladder ailments can take barley water for therapeutic uses
How to select Barley?
When you think of buying it, you first need to decide what form you
should buy. Barley is found in various forms, and each of them has a
varied nutritional value. Whole grain barley has the ultimate
nutritional value, found in its grain, leaves, and even the extract of
the grass.
Barley is widely available as a commercial product all over the world
in various forms. You need to know the exact form that will cater best
to your needs. The pearled, flaked and hulled forms have different
utilities, so decide what you want to make before making the
purchase. It is found both in bulk containers and packaged forms; ensure
its freshness before taking it home. If you buy it in containers, check
the date and also be sure that it’s sealed properly. Even a small
amount of moisture in packaged barley can spoil the cereal, so be
careful. Store it in clean, glass airtight containers and place it in a
cool, dry place. During summer, it’s advisable to keep it in the
refrigerator.
