Product Description

Product Description

'Medicine of the Prophet' is a combination of religious and medical information, providing advice and guidance on the two aims of medicine - the preservation and restoration of health - in careful conformity with the teachings of Islam as enshrined in the Qur'an and the 'hadith', or sayings of the Prophet. Written in the fourteenth century by the renowned theologian Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (d. 751AH/1350AD) as part of his work 'Zad al-Ma'ad', this book is a mine of information on the customs and sayings of the Prophet, as well as on herbal and medical practices current at the time of the author. In bringing together these two aspects, Ibn Qayyim has produced a concise summary of how the Prophet's guidance and teaching can be followed, as well as how health, sickness and cures were viewed by Muslims in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The original Arabic text offers an authoritative compendium of Islamic medicine and still enjoys much popularity in the Muslim world. This English translation is a more complete presentation than has previously been available and includes verification of all 'hadith' references. 'Medicine of the Prophet' will appeal not only to those interested in alternative systems of health and medicine, but also to people wishing to acquaint themselves with, or increase their knowledge of, 'hadith' and the religion and culture of Islam.

Format:Paperback
The contents of this book gave me useful insight on how Prophet Muhammad PBUH daily lifestyle was. It provide guidance for us to live a simple and healthy lifestyle without having to do much. I think the main theme of it is MODESTY! A recommended reading for those who want to broaden their knowledge other than the modern medication method.

Excellent book 18 Jan 2011

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a very good book, not too sure about the translation or the binding though. Another person translated this book at Darussalam Publications, which is much better in terms of the way information is presented. I'd also recommend As-Suyuti's medicine of the prophet and avicenna's works

Not a true book of medicine 11 May 2011
By Curja - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book is hardly a medical book for contemporary medicine. It is well written and very informative....however this material is best used as informative. There are a lot of stories about why the prophet feels the way he does about specific medical practices, if he disagrees with a practice it is forbidden. I am not going to say that religion vs medical science is better in one way or the other. It was a fun read, and I learned a lot.
