Qur’an and Diabetes: A Simple Guide with Science
Important Note
The Qur’an does not use the word diabetes. But the Qur’an gives us rules about food, balance, and health. Modern science today shows that many Qur’anic foods are very good for people with diabetes. Let’s make it simple.
Qur’anic Rules for Eating
- Eat clean and halal food.
(Qur’an 2:168) – Choose natural and safe food. - Don’t eat too much.
(Qur’an 7:31) – Overeating makes blood sugar high. - Don’t waste food.
(Qur’an 6:141) – Plan meals, don’t waste, don’t snack too much. - Mercy for the sick.
(Qur’an 2:184–185 about fasting) – If you are sick, Allah gives ease. So if diabetes is serious, fasting can be adjusted.
Foods in the Qur’an and What Science Says
🌾 Barley & Whole Grains
(Qur’an 2:61 mentions grains like barley)
- Science: Research shows barley has beta-glucan fiber. This fiber makes sugar rise slowly after eating.
- Good for diabetes: Keeps blood sugar stable, helps weight control.
🌱 Lentils
(Qur’an 2:61 mentions lentils)
- Science: Studies prove lentils have protein + fiber. They reduce sugar spikes after meals.
- Good for diabetes: Keeps you full, reduces hunger.
🧅 Onions, Cucumbers, Greens
(Qur’an 2:61)
- Science: Veggies are low in sugar, high in vitamins, and have antioxidants. Onions even have compounds that can improve insulin sensitivity.
- Good for diabetes: Very safe, can eat plenty.
🫒 Olives & Olive Oil
(Qur’an 95:1 mentions olive)
- Science: Olive oil has healthy fat (oleic acid) and polyphenols. Research shows it lowers inflammation, improves insulin use, and protects the heart.
- Good for diabetes: Great oil choice.
🐟 Fish
(Qur’an 5:96 allows seafood)
- Science: Fish has omega-3 fats. Studies show omega-3 improves heart health and reduces inflammation.
- Good for diabetes: Protects heart, which is important for diabetics.
🥛 Milk
(Qur’an 16:66 mentions milk)
- Science: Milk has protein + calcium. But choose unsweetened. Research says low-fat milk can be part of a diabetes diet.
- Good for diabetes: In moderation.
🍯 Honey
(Qur’an 16:69 says honey has healing)
- Science: Honey has antioxidants, but it is still sugar. Research shows it can raise blood sugar quickly.
- Good for diabetes: Very small amount only, and not daily.
🌴 Dates & 🍈 Figs
(Qur’an mentions dates many times; figs in 95:1)
- Science: Dates and figs have fiber + minerals, but also high sugar. Studies show small amounts are okay, but large amounts increase blood sugar.
- Good for diabetes: 1 small date with a meal, not alone.
What Nutrients (Salts & Chemicals) Help?
Science tells us the helpful parts of food are:
- Fiber → slows sugar rise (found in barley, lentils, vegetables).
- Protein → keeps you full, supports muscles (lentils, fish, chicken, eggs).
- Healthy fats → improve insulin (olive oil, fish).
- Magnesium & Potassium → good for heart and sugar control (greens, legumes, milk).
- Polyphenols → protect cells, reduce inflammation (olive oil, onions).
- Chromium & Zinc → help insulin (whole grains, legumes, seafood).
Bad for sugar:
- Glucose, fructose (sweeteners, honey, many fruits in large amount).
Simple Qur’anic Diet Plan for Diabetes
🥗 Plate Method

🌿 Wudu (Ablution) and Diabetes
👉 First truth:
The Qur’an and Sunnah do not say that a certain pose of wudu cures diabetes. But wudu is a form of spiritual and physical purification.
When we look at wudu from a health point of view, science shows that the movements, washing, and cooling effect can help the body in ways that may be useful for diabetes.
👐 Steps of Wudu and Their Health Benefits
1. Washing Hands and Arms
- Pose/Action: Rubbing and washing the hands and arms.
- Medical effect: Improves blood circulation in the hands and fingers, keeps skin clean, reduces risk of infections (important for diabetics because wounds heal slowly).
2. Rinsing Mouth (Madmadah)
- Pose/Action: Swishing water inside the mouth.
- Medical effect: Reduces bacteria in the mouth.
- For diabetes: Diabetics are at higher risk of gum disease and oral infections. Research shows oral hygiene is very important in diabetes management.
3. Rinsing Nose (Istinshaq)
- Pose/Action: Inhaling water lightly into the nose.
- Medical effect: Cleans nasal passages, reduces germs, and may help breathing.
- For diabetes: Better breathing helps oxygen supply, which supports metabolism.
4. Washing Face
- Pose/Action: Splashing water on the face.
- Medical effect: Refreshes skin, helps nerve stimulation, lowers stress.
- For diabetes: Stress can raise blood sugar. Cooling the face calms the body.
5. Washing Feet
- Pose/Action: Washing and rubbing the feet up to the ankles.
- Medical effect: Improves blood flow in feet, reduces risk of fungal infection.
- For diabetes: Very important, because diabetic patients often get foot problems (ulcers, poor circulation). Regular washing + checking feet helps prevent complications.
🧘♂️ “Pose” of Wudu That Helps Most
There is not one “special pose.” But these two parts are most helpful for people with diabetes:
- Washing the feet – keeps feet healthy, prevents infections, improves circulation.
- Rinsing mouth – reduces gum disease and oral infections common in diabetes.
📖 Medical Research and Science
- A study on ablution and health (published in medical journals) showed that washing the mouth and nose regularly reduces bacterial growth and keeps oral hygiene strong — which is important for diabetics.
- Research on foot care in diabetes shows that daily washing and checking feet lowers risk of ulcers, infection, and amputation. Wudu naturally does this at least 5 times a day.
- Studies on stress and blood sugar show that cooling the body and calming rituals reduce stress hormones (like cortisol), which helps control blood sugar. Wudu refreshes and calms the body.
🌸 Easy Routine for Diabetics
- Make regular wudu (ablution) before each prayer.
- Focus on gentle rubbing of feet and checking for cuts/wounds.
- While rinsing mouth, take care not to swallow water (important for fasting).
- Use this time to relax and breathe calmly – lowering stress helps blood sugar.
🌿 Final Words
- Wudu is a gift: it cleans body, refreshes mind, and brings spiritual peace.
- For diabetics, the washing of mouth and feet are especially protective.
- Science agrees: good oral care, good foot care, stress relief, and hygiene are powerful tools in controlling diabetes.
- Remember: Wudu supports health, but medicine, diet, and doctor’s advice are still needed.
🌿 Muslim Prayer (Salah) Poses and Diabetes
👉 Truth:
The Qur’an and Sunnah do not say “this prayer pose cures diabetes.”
But science shows that the movements of salah are like gentle exercise. They improve blood flow, reduce stress, and help the body in ways useful for people with diabetes.
🧎♂️ Main Prayer Poses and Their Health Benefits
1. Qiyam (Standing)
- Pose: Standing straight, hands folded.
- Medical effect: Improves posture, helps circulation, mild calorie burn.
- For diabetes: Standing increases energy use compared to sitting, helps blood sugar control.
2. Ruku (Bowing)
- Pose: Bending forward with back straight, hands on knees.
- Medical effect: Stretches lower back, thigh muscles, and abdominal area.
- For diabetes: Gentle stretch helps digestion and circulation around the stomach area, which is important for insulin action.
3. Sujood (Prostration)
- Pose: Forehead, nose, hands, knees, and toes touching the ground.
- Medical effect: Increases blood flow to the brain, reduces stress, calms the heart, stretches spine and joints.
- For diabetes:
- Stress reduction helps lower blood sugar (stress hormones like cortisol raise glucose).
- Improves blood circulation, especially to head and upper body.
4. Jalsa (Sitting between prostrations)
- Pose: Sitting calmly on knees after sujood.
- Medical effect: Similar to yoga’s “Vajrasana pose,” which is known to help digestion and metabolism.
- For diabetes: Some medical research shows sitting like this after meals helps digestion and sugar control.
5. Tasleem (Turning head right and left)
- Pose: At the end of prayer, turning face right and left.
- Medical effect: Gentle neck exercise, improves relaxation.
- For diabetes: Relaxation lowers stress, which helps keep sugar balanced.
🌟 The Most Helpful Pose for Diabetes: Sujood (Prostration)
- Increases calmness and reduces stress (very important for diabetes control).
- Improves blood circulation to brain and body.
- Acts like a gentle full-body exercise.
👉 Second most helpful: Jalsa (sitting between sujood) because it aids digestion and reduces stomach bloating, which helps sugar metabolism.
📖 Scientific Research (in simple words)
- Prayer as physical activity: Studies show that salah movements burn calories and increase physical activity, similar to light exercise. Regular light exercise helps control type 2 diabetes.
- Sujood and stress: Research on prostration (sujood) shows it lowers brain stress activity and brings relaxation. Stress reduction is directly linked to better blood sugar control.
- Prayer and metabolism: Studies comparing Muslim prayer with yoga show similar benefits on digestion, blood flow, and reducing risk factors of diabetes.
🌸 Easy Routine for Diabetics
- Pray 5 times daily with focus and calmness.
- During sujood, breathe slowly and stay a few seconds longer – it calms the nervous system.
- After meals, two rak’ahs of prayer or sitting in Jalsa pose can help digestion.
- Combine with medical treatment, diet, and exercise.
🌿 Final Words
- Salah is not only worship but also a form of gentle exercise.
- Sujood (prostration) and Jalsa (sitting) are especially supportive for people with diabetes.
- Science agrees: prayer reduces stress, improves blood flow, helps digestion – all important in diabetes management.
👉 Note first:
Old religious books (like Bible, Torah, Vedas, Buddhist texts) did not mention “diabetes” by name. But they do talk about food, balance, self-control, healing, and spiritual health. Modern people link those teachings with diabetes care.
🌿 Other Religions’ Views on Food, Health, and Healing (in relation to diabetes)
1. Christianity (Bible)
- The Bible talks a lot about moderation in eating and drinking.
- Example: “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit… therefore honor God with your body” (1 Corinthians 6:19–20).
- This means Christians are taught to keep their body clean, avoid gluttony (overeating), and eat healthy food.
- For diabetes: This supports the idea of balanced diet, avoiding excess sugar, and caring for health.
2. Judaism (Torah)
- The Torah has kosher laws about what to eat and what not to eat.
- Jewish tradition teaches pikuach nefesh (saving life is most important). So, eating healthy is part of religious duty.
- For diabetes: Kosher diet is often clean, portion-controlled, less processed—helpful for managing health.
3. Hinduism (Vedas, Ayurveda)
- Ayurveda (ancient Hindu system of medicine) says disease comes from imbalance of diet and lifestyle.
- It recommends whole grains, pulses, vegetables, and herbs like fenugreek, turmeric, bitter gourd—all of which modern science also studies for diabetes control.
- It also promotes yoga and meditation for stress, which helps blood sugar.
4. Buddhism
- Buddhism teaches mindful eating (eat slowly, with awareness, and stop when full).
- Many Buddhists follow a vegetarian diet rich in vegetables, legumes, and simple foods.
- This style of eating is low in sugar and fat—very helpful for diabetes.
- Meditation also lowers stress, which improves blood sugar.
5. Chinese Traditions (Taoism & Traditional Chinese Medicine)
- Taoist texts and Traditional Chinese Medicine talk about yin and yang balance in the body.
- Diabetes is often described as too much “heat” or imbalance of energy.
- Recommended: herbs (like ginseng), green tea, vegetables, and avoiding excess sweets.
- Acupuncture and tai chi are also suggested to improve circulation and reduce stress.
🌸 Common Lessons Across Religions
Even though words like “diabetes” are not used, all major faiths teach:
- Moderation – do not overeat, control sugar and fat.
- Clean, natural food – more vegetables, fruits, grains, less processed food.
- Spiritual balance – prayer, meditation, mindfulness reduce stress.
- Respect the body – the body is seen as a gift from God (or sacred), so we must care for it.

💊 Advanced Medicine Salts for Diabetes
Diabetes medicines mostly come in the form of salts (the active chemical that works inside the body).
These medicines control blood sugar in different ways.

- Warning: Can sometimes cause low sugar (hypoglycemia).
🌟 3. DPP-4 Inhibitors (Sitagliptin, Vildagliptin, Saxagliptin)
- How it works: Keeps a hormone (GLP-1) active longer → helps pancreas release insulin after meals.
- Benefits: Gentle, safe, does not cause weight gain.

🌟 Strong Conclusion by Shoaib Nasir
“Diabetes is not just a disease of sugar; it is a message from life. It is a wake-up call that our body, our mind, and our soul are out of balance. For thousands of years, holy books, prophets, saints, doctors, and scientists have all told us one truth: health is a trust, and we are responsible for protecting it.”
“The Qur’an teaches us about healing foods and moderation. The Bible reminds us that our body is the temple of God. Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism—all say the same: eat clean, live balanced, calm your mind. Modern science now confirms what faith already whispered: stress, greed, and excess harm us; balance, peace, and gratitude heal us.”
“So diabetes is not only about avoiding sugar. It is about avoiding the sugar of pride, the sugar of anger, the sugar of stress. It is about returning to natural food, to prayer, to meditation, to love, and to self-control. This is not only for Muslims, not only for Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, or Jews—this is for every human soul on this planet.”
“If one person changes his lifestyle, he saves his body. But if humanity changes together, we save our future. Diabetes is one of the biggest killers of today—but it can also become the biggest teacher of tomorrow. It can teach us how to return to simplicity, to nature, to God, and to each other.”
“I, Shoaib Nasir, believe that the day humanity learns to eat with moderation, live with compassion, and pray with devotion—that day, not only diabetes but many diseases will disappear. This is not just health advice. This is a revolution of the body, a revolution of the spirit, a revolution of humanity.”
“Let this be our new declaration: We will not be slaves of sugar; we will be servants of God. We will not live for food; we will eat for life. We will not just cure diabetes; we will cure our way of living. And when we do this, the world will change—not in hospitals, but in every heart, every home, and every soul.”
