Importance of Milk in Islam

Allah has mentioned milk to us, saying, “Rivers of milk the taste whereof does not change” (Qur’an 47:15). And again He said, “Pure milk, easy and agreeable to swallow for those who drink” (Qur’an 16:66). The Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) is said to have remarked that milk is irreplaceable and that he himself loved milk.
Milk is composed of fat and water and milk solids (cheese). Together, these components are well suited to the constitution of humans. However, we should not take the milk of animals whose pregnancy lasts longer than that of humans. The milk of cows is best, for they feed off grasses.
Said the Prophet (s.a.w.s.): “Drink milk, for it wipes away heat from the heart as the finger wipes away sweat from the brow. Furthermore, it strengthens the back, increases the brain, augments the intelligence, renews vision, and drives away forgetfulness.”
A milk diet is the best treatment there is for dropsy; however, anyone with fever must avoid milk.
