Quran
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُوا مِمَّا فِي الْأَرْضِ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ
"O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy."
Surah Al-Baqarah · 2:168
Emphasizes consuming pure and wholesome foods, which is foundational to preventing cholesterol-based gallstone formation through dietary moderation.
فَأَنشَأْنَا لَكُم بِهِ جَنَّاتٍ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَابٍ لَّكُمْ فِيهَا فَوَاكِهُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ وَشَجَرَةً تَخْرُجُ مِن طُورِ سَيْنَاءَ تَنبُتُ بِالدُّهْنِ وَصِبْغٍ لِّلْآكِلِينَ
"And We brought forth for you thereby gardens of palm trees and grapevines; for you therein are abundant fruits and from them you eat. And [We brought forth] a tree issuing from Mount Sinai which produces oil and food for those who eat."
Surah Al-Mu'minun · 23:19-20
References olive oil which is specifically used in classical Islamic medicine to dissolve biliary obstructions and soften gallstones.
Sahih Hadith
عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الْحَبَّةِ السَّوْدَاءِ فَإِنَّ فِيهَا شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلاَّ السَّامَ
"Use this black seed, for indeed it contains a cure for every disease except death."
Black seed oil has choleretic properties that support bile flow and may help prevent stone formation in the gallbladder.
بِمَ تَسْتَمْشِينَ قَالَتْ بِالشُّبْرُمِ قَالَ حَارٌّ جَارٌّ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ اسْتَمْشَيْتُ بِالسَّنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَوْ أَنَّ شَيْئًا كَانَ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ لَكَانَ فِي السَّنَا
"The Prophet asked: 'With what do you purge?' She said: 'With spurge.' He said: 'It is hot and harsh.' Then she purged with senna, and the Prophet said: 'If anything were to contain a cure for death, it would be senna.'"
Senna acts as a gentle laxative that aids in bile secretion and evacuation, supporting gallbladder emptying and reducing biliary stasis that contributes to stone formation.
