The Authenticity of Prophetic Medicine, by Ibn Al-Qayyim - Tawbah Editions

In Islam, the health of the body is a fundamental necessity in people's lives, which is why the Muslim is called to give importance to his own health but also to the health of the entire society, this in order for the Muslim society to remain strong. This can only be achieved through the teachings of the Messenger of Allah (saw) because health encompasses both the health of the body and the health of the heart, and the only science of the Prophets that is revelation brings these two things together perfectly.

The medicine of the Prophet is not similar to that of doctors, because his medicine is certain, formal and divine, it emanates from the Revelation of the prophet, from prophecy and from the perfection of reason. While the medicine of others, or most of them, is only conjecture, assumptions and experiences. Prophetic medicine is effective for those who accept it, believe in healing through it, and receive it with perfect belief and submission. Prophetic medicine is suitable for good bodies, just as the Quran is suitable for good souls and living hearts.
