doctor said that he could not be cured in such a short period of time with the medicine he had prescribed. Just recall what he had used. He pondered and recalled that he had become a Muslim and had recently started to use the Miswak. Due to use of the Miswak, he was blessed and healed. When he showed the Miswak to the doctor, he was astonished.’

Dear Islamic brothers! Miswak has many benefits in this world and the Hereafter. Miswak contains many chemical substances which protect the teeth from many infections. It is stated in the book Haashiyah Tahtaawi, ‘Use of Miswak strengthens memory and eyesight, cures headaches and relaxes the veins in the head, removes phlegm, improves digestion, increases brain power, increases the number of the birth of one’s children, delays aging and strengthens the back.’
(Haashiya-tut-Tahtaawi ‘ala Maraqil Falah, pp. 69)
Whenever the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم entered his blessed home, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would use the Miswak first. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 152, Hadees 253)
