What is Islamic medicine? Is it medical knowledge that is completely subject to the will of Allah the Exalted, or is it the art treatment adopted and followed by Muslims when the Muslim were at the peak of their development? Or is it the most modern medicine, guided by divine teachings and completely in accordance with them? On the basis of Islamic teachings in light of the Quran and Sunnah, this book devises the following six basic categories for Islamic medicine. Adhering to Islamic teachings and etiquette. Adhering to logic in practicing medicine. Holistic approach, paying equal attention to the body, mind and soul, for individuals as well as societies. Universal approach, taking into account all resources and aiming to benefit all people. Scientific approach, based on logical conclusions drawn from sound observations, accurate statistics and trustworthy experience. Excellence, achieving what other kinds of treatment have failed to achieve.
v informative & insightful book - a few da‘eef ahadith were shared so could lead to misinforming readers who aren’t as familiar with the sayings/doings of Rasoolullah ﷺ
This is a very good book, however an updated version of this book is needed to get the latest research on Prophetic Medicine, which is relevant till the end of times. It is a plight that Islamic publishers (and Muslim readers) do not give much importance to such work. Despite being a dated edition, this book is still very good. I enjoyed reading it!
