Milk is a beneficial drink and has high nutritional value. Its importance can be understood by the fact it is the prime source of nutrition for a newborn baby up to a few years.
A narration in the Sahihhain (Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim) highlights our Prophets ﷺ likeness for this drink.
“The night of the Isra’, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was given two cups, one containing milk and the other wine. The Prophet ﷺ looked at them and then took the cup of milk. Gabriel said, ‘You have accepted what is natural, (True Religion i.e., Islam) and if you had taken the wine, your followers would have gone astray.”
(Bukhari:5576)
