Category: Prophetic Medicine
In Islam, prophetic medicine refers to the counsel given by the prophet Muhammad in the hadith on disease, treatment, and cleanliness. Non-physician researchers who collect and explain these traditions are generally the ones who practice it. Islamic medicine, on the other hand, is a larger category that encompasses a number of medical methods founded in Greek natural philosophy. In reality, prophetic medical traditions encourage people to not only follow Muhammad’s teachings, but also to seek out treatments for various illnesses. As a result, prophetic medicine literature plays a symbolic function in the explanation of Islamic identity as defined by a certain set of links to science, medicine, technology, and nature. Historically, there has been a conflict in the interpretation of medical tales. Some people aren’t sure whether to regard them as the prophet Muhammad’s religious utterances or as time-sensitive, culturally contextual, and so unrepresentative of an eternal set of medical truths. Only in the 14th century was this body of knowledge completely formulated, at which point it was concerned with integrating Sunnah (traditions) with the foundations of the Galenic humoral theory, which was dominant at the time in Islamicate medical institutions. Nonetheless, it is a custom that has remained relevant in current times. Prophetic medicine is sometimes confused with Unani medicine or traditional medicine, while it differs from both of these and scientific medicine in that the former is exclusively a compilation of Muhammad in the Quran.
These are treatment, health and hygiene practices that are based on the sayings of the Islamic Prophet Muhammed. These practices shouldn’t be confused with Islamic medicine which has its roots in Greek medical philosophy. In any case, if you want to learn about the natural remedies prescribed by the Islamic prophet, we will explore them in detail within this section of our website.
