Sources of the Prophet’s medicines

Picture1 jpeg         The Holy Qur’an  

The noble Qur’an is not a typical book of medicine, health science or pharmacy, but it provides effective guidance, which, if followed, ensures good health and absolute healing. It contains the prescription for all types of ailments, be it physical or spiritual. It provides the prescription not only to treat an individual but also a society, a nation and the humankind. It contains the remedy for people who possess a wicked character and for those who are socially misled. A large number of people who have come in contact with the Qur’an and received guidance from it stayed away from all kinds of pollution, lust and material influence. They also remained free from diseases and sickness and were not usually dependent on doctors and physicians. There are numerous examples of such people in the pages of history. Allah (SWT) says:

“And We send down of the Qur’an that which is healing and mercy for the believers…..”(al-Isra’ 17: 82)

 The Holy Qur’an does not specify any physical medicine except honey. In Surah Nahl Allah (SWT) has termed honey as a healing agent for humankind (al-Nahl 16: 69).  Prophet Muhammad ( صلى الله عليه وسلم) also made several statements on the therapeutic uses of honey. Thus honey has become a Qur’anic as well as Prophetic medicine.

The medicine and pharmacy of the Prophet ( صلى الله عليه وسلم) has several sources. These are revelation, the empirical experience of the Prophet ( صلى الله عليه وسلم) and the folk medicine of that time in the Arabian Peninsula. Medical knowledge of other communities was also known in Makkah or Madinah at the time of the Prophet ( صلى الله عليه وسلم). Books of hadiths and Islamic history are the current sources of information of the Prophet’s medicines.

Imam Bukhari narrated 129 hadiths directly related to medicine and pharmacy in his Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Bukhâri. He developed two books on it, the book of medicine (Kitâb aṭ-Ṭibb) and the book of the sick (Kitâb al-Marḍâ’). The book of the sick (70) contains the hadiths numbering from 540 to 581, while the book of medicine (71) holds the hadiths numbering from 582 to 673. Other books of Hadith, such as Sunan Abu Dâwood and Jâmi‘ at-Tirmidhi, also narrated hadiths with relevance to medicine. The book of medicine of Sunan Abu Dâwood contains 49 hadiths on medicine. These are in book number 28, numbering from 3846 to 3894. The book of medicine of Jâm‘ at-Tirmidhi contains 51 hadiths on treatment in volume 4, chapter 28, numbering from 1985 to 2036. Muslim, Ahmad, an-Nasâ’i and Ibn Mâjah have also narrated a good number of hadiths on medicine. Among the scholars who have collected the hadiths and related them to available medical knowledge, Abu Nu‘aym (d. 430 AH), adh-Dhahabi (d. 748 AH), Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyah (d. 751 AH) and Jalâl ad-Deen as-Suyooṭi (d. 911 AH) are well-known apopularlar.

Characteristics of Prophetic Medicine

  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

Image
  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
