Yes among the physical benefits..it will make your skin glow and soft..Also useful for hair growth

Ashiat39:
Aaameeen. But can it make my skin softer?

You can't scare a True Muslim with Death..I like El Rufai response.."Every Soul shall taste Death"

The state of how you died is the most important not the time..

The Pastor is just a gambler...He may die before El Rufai..

If you really want to know the real sayings of Jesus(May God be pleased with him) you have to research and find "injeel" or Gospel in the original hebrew language..Not the adulterated books conjured by mortals that keep conflicting each other..

It still baffles me why an animalistic function like having a son be attach to an un created creature,an infallible and supernal being like God..

It still baffles me why an higher animal who has mental ability to reason will think a Blood will erase all their sins..

Jesus like other prophets of God was a Messenger and Prophet and he was able to heal and do all the miracles with the permission of God..

Yes he was born miraculously,he spoke in cradle and yes he his coming back..I believe in him and his authentic teachings as a muslim

Seek the truth it will set you free..Devle into your heart and ask your creator to guide you to the path of monotheism and righteousness

Olive (الزيتون)
Botanical name
Olea europaea Oleaceae.

Description
The olive tree is a plant that grows to about 10 meters with a grey twisted trunk. It has spear shaped leaves which are greyish green on top and silvery white on the bottom. Its white flowers grow in clusters, and its fruit (the olive) is oval shaped containing only one stone. The olive begins as a green fruit and ripens to black.

Evidence from the Quran and Sunnah
The olive has been mentioned many times in the Qur’aan,it is one of the blessed foods of this life. From among the ayaat that mention the olive are the following:
“Allâh is the light of the heavens and the earth. the parable of his light is as (if there were) a niche and within it a lamp, the lamp is In glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east (i.e. neither it gets sun-rays Only In the morning) nor of the west (i.e. nor it gets sun-rays Only In the afternoon, but it is exposed to the sun All Day long), whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself), though no Fire touched it…” [24:35]

“And a tree (olive) that springs forth from Mount Sinai, that grows oil, and (it is a) relish for the eaters.” [23:20]

“And it is He who produces Gardens trellised and untrellised, and date­palms, and crops of different shape and taste (its fruits and its seeds) and olives, and pomegranates, similar (in kind) and different (in taste). eat of their fruit when they ripen, but pay the due thereof (its Zakât, according to Allâh’s orders 1/10th or 1/20th) on the Day of its harvest, and waste not by extravagance . Verily, He likes not Al-Musrifûn (those who waste by extravagance)…” [6:141]
The olive has also been mentioned in the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet :
From Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet that he said:

“Eat the olive and anoint (yourselves) with it, for indeed it is from a blessed tree.” [Tirmidhi 1853, Ahmed 497/3]. This hadeeth has also been recorded by Haakim hadeeth #122/4 and Ibn Maajah hadeeth #3319 from Umar with a slightly different wording.

Parts used
All parts of the olive tree are used, its bark, its leaves, its fruit and its oil.
Constituents
Olive leaves contain;
secoiridoides (oleuropein in particular) which reduce blood pressure
triterpenes
Flavanoids
Olive oil contains;
Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids Vitamin E

Medical uses
Ibn al Qayyim said that olive is hot and wet in the first degree and that the quality of its oil depends on the tree that it is produced from, such that oil from unripe olives are cold and dry, while black olives produce hot and wet oil. He mentioned that olive oil is useful against poisons, loosens the bowel, ejects worms and strengthens the gums. From amongst the other benefits of this blessed tree he mentioned was that olive oil mixed with salty water is useful against blisters resulting from a fire burn; and the olive leaves are useful against erysipelas (skin disease characterised by infection of the skin and underlying tissue), eczema, sores and urticaria (hives – elevated patches and severe itching caused by allergic reaction). 

Also all the types of olive oil soften the skin and slow down the aging process.
Studies carried out by Egyptian researchers in 2002 found that olive can lower blood pressure. The olive leaves are used to reduce blood pressure, dilate coronary blood vessels, lower blood sugar levels and regulate the heart beat.

Spanish studies carried out in 1992 indicated that oleuropeoside lowered blood sugar levels in ‘in vitro’ models of diabetes thus it can be used in less serious non insulin dependent diabetes.
Studies to date confirm most of what Ibn Al Qayyim said. Olive oil;
– is mildly laxative, it stimulates secretion and elimination of bile and can be used to treat gallstones.
–  is also used in the treatment of stomach ulcers and to ease nervous tension.
–  Softens and soothes the skin.
–   is used in sun creams.

Application
The olive plant can be used in more ways than one, its oil should be used liberally in cooking, and as an ointment for the skin. Some other ways to use it are as follows
for build up of wax in the ear place 3 to 4 drops in the ear morning and evening for a few days until the wax softens and can be removed easily.

For type 2 Diabetes and High Blood pressure boil about 20 dried leaves in 300ml of water, boil for 30 seconds and infuse for 10 minutes. Drink 3 cups a day during meals .
To prevent gallstones take 50ml of olive oil between meals.
To reduce the pain of already existing gallstones take 50-150ml of olive oil.

Cautions
The olive has no known side effects.

Its a pity that the non- muslims apply this beautiful secret more...You can get it for around N100 - N500 @ islamic stores..

Personally have stop using all body cream and I only use Olive oil and the result have been good both spiritual and physical..


May Allah cure and protect us..Amin

The oil industry, with its history of booms and busts, is in its deepest downturn since the 1990s, if not earlier.

Earnings are down for companies that have made record profits in recent years, leading them to decommission roughly two-thirds of their rigs and sharply cut investments in exploration and production. An estimated 250,000 oil workers have lost their jobs, and manufacturing of drilling and production equipment has fallen sharply.

The cause is the plunging price of a barrel of oil, which has been cut roughly by more than 60 percent since the June 2014.

Prices have recovered a few times last year, but a barrel of oil has already sunk this year to its lowest level since 2004. Executives think it will be years before oil returns to $90 or $100 a barrel, pretty much the norm over the last decade.

WHAT IS CURRENT OIL PRICE?
Brent crude, the main international benchmark, was trading at around $28 a barrel on Monday .

The American benchmark was at around 29$ a barrel.

WHY HAS THE PRICE OF OIL BEEN DROPPING SO FAST?
This a complicated question, but it boils down to the simple economics of supply and demand.

United States domestic production has nearly doubled over the last several years, pushing out oil imports that need to find another home. Saudi, Nigerian and Algerian oil that once was sold in the United States is suddenly competing for Asian markets, and the producers are forced to drop prices. Canadian and Iraqi oil production and exports are rising year after year. Even the Russians, with all their economic problems, manage to keep pumping.

There are signs, however, that production is falling in the United States and some other oil-producing countries because of the drop in exploration investments. But the drop in production is not happening fast enough, especially with output from deep waters off the Gulf of Mexico and Canada continuing to build as new projects come online.

On the demand side, the economies of Europe and developing countries are weak and vehicles are becoming more energy-efficient. So demand for fuel is lagging a bit.


WHO BENEFITS FROM THE PRICE DROP?

Any motorist can tell you that gasoline prices have dropped(Except Nigeria). Diesel, heating oil and natural gas prices have also fallen sharply.

The latest drop in energy prices — regular gas nationally now averages under $2 a gallon, roughly down about 14 cents from a year ago — is also disproportionately helping lower-income groups, because fuel costs eat up a larger share of their more limited earnings.

Households that use heating oil to warm their homes are also seeing savings.


WHO LOSES?

For starters, oil-producing countries and states. Venezuela, Iran, NIGERIA, Ecuador, Brazil and Russia are just a few petrostates that are suffering economic and perhaps even political turbulence. Persian Gulf states are likely to invest less money around the world, and they may cut aid to countries like Egypt.

In the United States, Alaska, North Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana are facing economic challenges.

Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell and BP have all announced cuts to their payrolls to save cash, and they are in far better shape than many smaller independent oil and gas producers that are slashing dividends and selling assets as they report net losses. Other companies have slashed their dividends.

About 40 companies in North America have gone into bankruptcy protection. World oil production has generally increased since 1996 to more than 80 million barrels a day, from 63 million. When demand doesn’t follow the same trajectory, prices are affected; that is the reason for the most recent spike in 2011 and the steep drop in 2015.


WHAT HAPPEN TO OPEC?

A central factor in the sharp price drops, analysts say, is the continuing unwillingness of OPEC, a cartel of oil producers, to intervene to stabilize markets that are widely viewed as oversupplied.

Iran, Venezuela, Ecuador and Algeria have been pressing the cartel to cut production to firm up prices, but Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other gulf allies are refusing to do so. At the same time, Iraq is actually pumping more, and Iran is expected to become a major exporter again under the recent nuclear deal.

Saudi officials have said that if they cut production and prices go up, they will lose market share and merely benefit their competitors. They say they are willing to see oil prices go much lower, but some oil analysts think they are merely bluffing.

Before the price will really affect Saudi Arabia price must fall to around $1-$4 per barrel due to their Large Foreign Reserve.

If prices remain low for another year or longer, the newly crowned King Salman may find it difficult to persuade other OPEC members to keep steady against the financial strains. The International Monetary Fund estimates that the revenues of Saudi Arabia and its Persian Gulf allies will slip by $300 billion this year.



IS THERE A CONSPIRACY?

There are a number of conspiracy theories floating around. Even some oil executives are quietly noting that the Saudis want to hurt Russia and Iran, and so does the United States — motivation enough for the two oil-producing nations to force down prices. Dropping oil prices in the 1980s did help bring down the Soviet Union, after all.

But there is no evidence to support the conspiracy theories, and Saudi Arabia and the United States rarely coordinate smoothly. And the Obama administration is hardly in a position to coordinate the drilling of hundreds of oil companies seeking profits and answering to their shareholders.

WHEN ARE OIL PRICES LIKELY TO RECOVER?

Not anytime soon. Oil production is not declining fast enough in the United States and other countries, though that could begin to change this year.

Demand for fuels is recovering in some countries, and that could help crude prices recover in the next year or two. There is now little or no spare production capacity to give the market a cushion in case of another crisis in a crucial oil-producing country.

The history of oil is of booms and busts followed by more of the same
