Medicine in the Qur'an and Sunnah

Medicine in the Qur'an and Sunnah

This work provides a comprehensive reappraisal of the Islamic intellectual and cultural heritage in healthcare, bridging classical medical principles with contemporary bioethics. Across nine structured chapters, it addresses foundational public health practices—such as personal hygiene, dietary habits, and clean water access—alongside critical modern challenges including euthanasia, abortion, HIV/AIDS, and the role of women in medicine. By carefully distinguishing traditional medical knowledge and spiritual healing from superstition and magic, the text clarifies persistent misconceptions and translates Islam’s rich historical engagement with medicine into a clear, relevant framework for the modern world.
