What is Hijama?
Hijama, which loosely translates as “cupping,” is an ancient, prophetic healing method that has been practiced all around the world, in some places for thousands of years. A Divine remedy, hijama has come to us through all of the prophets (peace and blessings upon them all). With Allah’s help and permission, It heals the body, heart, mind, and soul.
Our guide, Sidi Muhammad (qaddasallahu sirrahu), taught groups of students how to perform hijama safely and effectively beginning in 2007. Join us in studying this highly recommended healing method immediately prior to Light Upon Light, SSC’s 2025 International Gathering in Florida, December 3-8.
