Principles of Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet (ﷺ)

 

Principles of Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet (ﷺ)

The Qur’anic principle of healing is that Allah is the Healer, and the doctors and the medicines are the means of healing. The Qur’an says in the tongue of Ibrahim (AS):

“And when I am ill, it is He (Allah) Who heals (cures) me”. (al-Shu’ara’ 26: 80)

 The Islamic concept of healing is that a physician diagnoses an ailment and prescribes medicine(s); a pharmacist prepares the medicines and dispenses them to the patient. Ultimately, it is Allah, Who heals the ailment through the medicine. Jâbir ibn ‘Abdullâh (RA) related from Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) that he said:

“Every disease has medicine, and when the proper medicine is applied to the disease as per diagnosis, the disease gets healed by the will of Allah.” (Muslim)

 If medical ideas were not needed at that time, why did Almighty Allah address him as ‘a mercy to humankind’? Since Islam is the complete and eternal way of human life, which the most Gracious Allah has presented to humankind through Muhammad (ﷺ), the seal and leader of the Prophets, it is expected that the true guidance of the Prophet (ﷺ) should include all aspects of human life, including medicine and health, for the benefit of humankind during his transient stay on earth. Because man needs to remain well free from sickness to fulfill his brief mission on earth. After that time whether we like it or not, we have to return to Him.  As light, wind and oxygen bestowed by Allah are for all living beings; similarly the Prophetic traditions on health & hygiene and disease & treatment are for the entire mankind. They are not only for the Muslims, but for the people of all nations and in all ages, irrespective of their religious beliefs, color, language and creed.

It is the discretion of the patients and their relatives to take the patients to the best, most experienced and highly skilled physician of the most sophisticated hospital of the world, but the physician cannot apply force or give any guarantee for the healing. For example, the president of a nation has fallen sick due to high fever; the army is under his command. Can he call the army with tanks and machine guns to fight with fever? No, not possible at all. Healing is not in the hands of physician or man. It is in the hands of Allah. If Allah does not wish healing, patient will not be healed, no matter the extent of medical services received from the physicians. The Qur’an says:

“And if Allah should touch you with an affliction, nobody can remove it except He…” (al-An’am 6: 17)

 This is a Qur’anic statement. Disease or sickness is an affliction. If Allah wants us to die through sickness, no board of doctors can prevent it. Let me ask the respected reader a simple question, those who go to Bangkok, Singapore, Madras or America for treatment, do they all not return home after cure or getting well? Examples of President Zillur Rahman, Abdul Jalil and Abdur Razzak, recently Mr Mohsin and Brig Hannan Shah. They all went to Singapore for superior treatment, but they were not cured; their dead bodies only reached home.

Medicine itself cannot cure someone. If medicine alone could cure sickness then why do people remain sick even after taking medicine? Let me give two examples. Why, out of four cancer patients who are on regular chemotherapy  and radiotherapy, does two die after 6 months, while the other two get cured? Suppose there are ten children suffering from severe diarrhoea. Their causes of diarrhoea are the same and symptoms or manifestations are also similar, so the prescription were also similar. But after two weeks six get cured and four die? Why? Why not all of them got cured or all of them died. The answer is the same. Well, reader might have different explanation, but this is the truth.

In fact, medicine only works as long as it is Allah’s will. If it is not Allah’s will that a person should get better, then no medicine in the world will provide healing. Taking antibiotic after antibiotic does not guarantee a cure. It can only cause misery and discomfort to the patient. Therefore, one should not think that it is the medicine  or the physician that has cured the person.

Characteristics of Prophetic Medicine

Image
  Characteristics of Prophetic Medicine Most of the Prophetic medicines (PM) are preventive and herbal in nature. They are connected to proper eating habits of nutritious and lawful foods. Amount of food to be taken daily and the time and frequency of eating is very important. It gives specific guidelines on how to preserve one’s health free from pollution and malnutrition, and protect it from damage, deterioration and destruction. A much quoted hadith regarding over-indulgence in eating is that one should never fill up one’s stomach with food. The proportion recommended was one-third for food, one-third for water and one-third left empty for air or breathing. This makes perfect sense in modern day society, where obesity has become a pandemic. Currently PM is becoming more and more popular together with complementary and alternative medicines in many Muslim countries including Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. The reason is that it is firmly embedded within wi

Difference Between Prophetic Medicine and Modern Medicine

  Difference Between Prophetic Medicine and Modern Medicine The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was neither a physician nor did he claim any aptitude for curing diseases for himself. Rather, he advised sick individuals to consult a physician. The vast number of Ahadith on diseases and remedies, health and wellness, as well as medical questions, which have been systematized by early Muslim writers, became known as at-Tibb an-Nabawi , the Medicine of the Prophet (ﷺ) or the Prophet’s medicine. There is a great difference between the medicine of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the medicine of ordinary physicians. This difference is greater than that between the medicine of physicians and the medicine of itinerant quacks and old women. There is also a huge difference between medicine discovered by revelation and that discovered by experience and guess work. The underlying difference between modern medicine and Prophetic medicine is that modern medicine is based on scientific laborato

Global Scenario of Prophetic Medicine

  Global Scenario of Prophetic Medicine The subject of the Prophet’s medicine is vast and comprehensive, and it can only be comprehended by one who believes in the power of divine revelation. The Prophet’s original mission was not solely to contribute to medicine, pharmacy or health science. However, although the guidance of the Prophet (ﷺ) is not directly linked with the medicine he prescribed, humankind, as the main focal point of the revelation, cannot be ignored in the ultimate guidance, because man needs to remain well, free from sickness to fulfill his mission on earth. This is why although the Prophet’s arrival was not as a doctor or pharmacist he was inspired to make nearly 1000 statements on health & wellness, sickness & cure and diseases & treatment. And all his statements are found to be in full compliance with the principles of modern medical science. In fact where modern medicine failed Prophetic medicine proved very useful, because
