    These bars have been sat in the bottom of my bag (wrapped in cling film) for the past week. Every day i take half a bar out and consume it really quickly. The fact that these bars have managed to stay fresh and in shape, is testament to their amazingness. You may think it is no big deal but having had and made my fair share of crumbly falling apart cereal bars, I think its pretty awesome. They are especially handy during stressful weeks like the one we have just been through as a family. 

    What does Sunnah mean?

    Sunnah - 'The word Sunnah (Arabic: سنة) is an Arabic word meaning "tradition" or "way." For Muslims, Sunnah means "the way of the prophet". The Sunnah is made up of the words and actions of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, the prophet of Islam.' Wikipedia

    Here Sunnah refers to the ingredients used - Black Seed, Dates and Honey are all foods that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم enjoyed. They are all also considered to have healing properties. 

    Health Benefits of Key Ingredients

    Dates - The benefits of dates include relief from constipation, intestinal disorders, heart problems, anaemia. They are rich in several vitamins, minerals and fiber too. These delicious fruits contain oil, calcium, sulfur, iron, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, copper and magnesium which are all beneficial for health. (http://www.organicfacts.net).

    Honey - contains flavonoids, antioxidants which help reduce the risk of some cancers and heart disease. It also reduces gastrointestinal disorders, is anti bacterial and anti fungal, reduces irritations from coughs and sore throats.

    1. Islam says

      October 28, 2017 at 8:59 am

      The sunnah mentions to the way the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) lived his life, his sayings and teachings. We learn this through the hadith which is a record of these sayings and teachings. Muslims try to implement the sunnah or ways of the prophet into our lives.
