Has ginger been mentioned in the Holy Quran, and what are its benefits?
Ibn Al-Qayyim said in "Zad Al-Ma'ad" that ginger is mentioned in the Qur'an by the verse: ﴿And they will be given to drink there a cup whose mixture is of ginger﴾ [Al-Insan: 17]. It was also mentioned in a that the King of Rome gifted the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, a jar of ginger. Ginger was described as hot and moist, aiding digestion, softening the stomach, beneficial for liver blockages resulting from cold and dampness, and useful for vision impairment caused by dampness (taken orally and as kohl), an aphrodisiac, and dissolving thick flatulence. It is good for livers and stomachs with a cold disposition, and if taken with sugar, it facilitates the expulsion of viscous humors. As for its candied form, it is hot and dry, stimulates intercourse, increases semen, warms the stomach and liver, dries phlegm, improves memory, suits cold livers and stomachs, removes their dampness, sweetens the breath, and counters the harm of heavy, cold foods.
