Quran

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُوا مِمَّا فِي الْأَرْضِ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُبِينٌ

"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 eating what is طَيِّب (pure and wholesome), directly relevant to IBS management where dietary triggers and food quality significantly impact bowel function and symptoms.

يَا أَيُّهَا الرُّسُلُ كُلُوا مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَاعْمَلُوا صَالِحًا ۖ إِنِّي بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ

"O messengers, eat from the good foods and work righteousness. Indeed, I, of what you do, am Knowing."

Surah Al-Mu'minun · 23:51

Divine command to consume طَيِّبَات (wholesome foods) establishes the principle that digestive wellness depends on food selection, central to IBS dietary management.

Sahih Hadith

ما زَالَ جِبْرِيلُ يُوصِينِي بِالسَّنَا وَالسَّنُوتِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيَجْعَلُهُمَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ

"Jibril continued to recommend to me senna (sanā) and sanūt until I thought he would make them part of the Quran."

Sunan Ibn Majah · 3503HasanNarrator: Anas ibn Malik

Senna acts as a natural laxative for constipation-predominant IBS and sanūt (often identified as fennel or cumin) provides carminative relief from bloating and intestinal spasms.

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 (al-sām)."

Jami at-Tirmidhi · 2039HasanNarrator: Umm Sa'd

Black seed (Nigella sativa) has demonstrated antispasmodic and gut-modulatory properties relevant to IBS symptom relief, particularly abdominal cramping and altered bowel patterns.

الشِّفَاءُ فِي ثَلاَثَةٍ فِي شَرْطَةِ مِحْجَمٍ أَوْ شَرْبَةِ عَسَلٍ أَوْ كَيَّةٍ بِنَارٍ وَأَنَا أَنْهَى أُمَّتِي عَنِ الْكَىِّ

"Healing is in three things: in the incision of the cupper, or in drinking honey, or in cauterization by fire, but I forbid my nation from cauterization."

Sunan Abi Dawud · 3855SahihNarrator: Abdullah ibn Abbas

Honey possesses prebiotic and gut-protective properties that support healthy intestinal microbiota balance, addressing dysbiosis frequently associated with IBS pathophysiology.
