    God has given to the scholars a great role in all times so that mankind will have discoveries and efforts to find out the secrets of the universe that God createdand so that human has a role in life.

    Even the Prophet Jesus , peace be upon him, used to cure people of diseases, God willing, as a miracle for him from GodHe did not prescribe medicine for every disease

    Thus, we notice that there are many medicines in the prophetic medicine and in the Holy Qur’an,and we must take it and make experiments and discoveries with regard to medicinesbut the use of these plants or herbs is not for everyone,

    but rather for specialized researchers from scholars, researchers, doctors and men of modern science. So as not to use it improperly

    The Messenger came to perfect behavior. He taught not only us what foods we should eat hut how they should be prepared. Things like covering food, washing hands before eating and boiling food thoroughly when cooking were all stressed by the Prophet.

    In fact, the same is true of the etiquette of eating. The Messenger taught us to sit in such a manner that food would fill our stomach only to a third of its capacity.The Messenger, upon him he peace, mentioned over seventy specific foods which he considered healthy. Modern science has confirmed that he was right. Among the foods mentioned were honey, dates, vinegar, fish, and ginger.

    Preparation of Medicines

    Most medicines in al-Tibb al-Nabawi are based on the dietary advice of the Messenger, upon him be peace. A simple illness requires simple medicine.

    The cure for imbalance leaning towards heat would be something cold. In fact, the classic example is the fever. The Prophet said, “Fever is from the hell, put it out with water.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

    A complex illness e.g. one leaning to hot-dry would require a complex mixture, in our example a cold-dry cure.

    The Prophet (PBUH) said “For every illness there is a cure. If the cure matches the illness, improvement will take place by the permission of God.” (related by Jabir in the book of Sahih Muslim) and “God didn’t send down an illness except that He sent down a cure.” (Bukhari).

    The above sayings establish their important principles. Firstly, they encourage the administration of medicines. In fact, there is agreement among the majority of Muslim scholars that it’s a must.

    Secondly, they imply that, if administering medicine is a compulsion, then searching for a cure must also be a compulsion. Finally, they emphasize the dependence on God.

    In this modern age of ours, we tend to depend on the medicines and not on the True Curer. It is interesting to look at how few remember God in illness until they realize their illness is terminal and that there is no hope for a cure.


    The Europeans benefited greatly from Islamic medical and translated most of them into Latin and other languages.

    On the books of these Andalusian doctors, Europe relied on the teaching and practice of medicine for more than five centuries, and these works remained their mainstay in research and study in European medicine until the seventeenth century.

    The Europeans were not limited to the transmission of Arabic medical literature only, but also studied Arabic medicine to the extent that all medical knowledge in Europe is almost taken from the Arabs,

    Richard Nixon, the former president of the United States of America, says: “While Europe withered in the Middle Ages, Islamic civilization enjoyed its golden age, and Islam contributed tremendous efforts in the field of science in medicine and philosophy.”
