Krest Pro Care healing with the medicine of the prophet - tibbe nabwi islamic medicines in english Hardcover

A fascinating historical reference still in daily use"Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet" ("Al-Tibb al-Nabawi") by Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyah (1292-1350 C.E.) translation by Juail Abdual Rub is the most famous example of the body of work collectively known in the Islamic world as "Prophetic medicine" or "medicine of the Prophet." Ibn Qayyim aims to give guidance stemming from the Prophet Muhammad for the preservation and restoration of both physical and spiritual health.Despite its medical content, "Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet" differs from the writings of earlier Muslim physicians, such as Razi, Tabari and Avicenna in that it is written by a theologian who is more concerned with devotional praxis than medical theory. Ibn Qayyim's book is of great interest in that it delineates a wide range of customs and attitudes current at the time and the practices of ordinary people. The present work is just one part of Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyah 's lengthy compilation, 'Zaad al-Ma`aad' or 'Provisions for the Hereafter', which he wrote from memory whilst journeying from Damascus to Mecca for pilgrimage.The book is split into four sections. Throughout, the author presents the guidance of the Prophet in dealing with a variety of health issues, including the treatment of ailments and preventive remedies to keep the body fit. As the Qur'an and Sunnah are the main sources of Islamic lifestyle codes, it stands to reason that they should likewise be referred to in the matters of health and disease. This is the approach taken by Ibn Al-Qayyim as he presents verses of the Qur'an and statements of the Prophet as his main reference relating to medical issues. The final chapters of the work include a glossary of remedies, herbs, foods and other natural substances that aid in the pursuit of health.In these days when there is a great spirit of Islamic revivalism, many Islamic scholars and researchers have gone back to the wisdom of the most ancient Muslim scholars. This book is an example in particular of that process. Most Muslim physicians, if not all, are aware of the golden era of Islamic medicine that lasted for more than one thousand years, and are cognizant of the contributions of Muslim physicians made during that time that indeed laid the foundations of modern medicine."Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet" is a combination of religious and medical information, providing advice and guidance on the two aims of the Islamic medicine of its day - 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. 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, and which still enjoys much popularity in the Muslim world.This is a fascinating work that will appeal not only to those interested in alternative systems of health and traditional lineages of medicine, but also to people wishing to acquaint themselves with or increase their knowledge of Qur'an and Hadith, the religion and culture of Islam, and Islamic contributions to world science and world civilization.

I have learned so much about what I eat from this book. I no longer have to take certain medicines for my stomach. It has increased my awareness of the food I eat. I recommend this book to anyone, even none muslims.

I couldn't ask for a better book

I loved this reference book so much.One thing missing is how to decide what is the nature of the disease to provide the suitable herbal remedy for it. Is its nature cold and dry, hot and dry, cold and wet etc.Another thing I would have changed if I have the right to do so is the way content is laid out in the book. For example for every remedy I would divide the content in the following sub sections: 1) The Remedy, 2) Supporting clauses in Quran and Sunna that proves its healing properties or other clauses emphasize on its importance, 3) How to make the formula for different diseases. 4) and if possible, add current researches that proves the effectiveness of the remedy on different diseases.Having that said, information provided is exactly what I was expecting while reading the description of the book. And still without the organization structure suggested above and content, it is usable and enough to get started in using and seeing difference I used multiple remedies and although they are mostly 1 or 2 ingredients remedies they are so effective.Thank you for gathering this important information in one single book. I can't wait to see an extended version of the book.
