Islamic Culture and the Medical Arts: Prophetic Medicine

A hospital and medical training center existed at Gundeshapur. The city of Gundeshapur was founded in 271 by the Sassanid king Shapur I. It was one of the major cities in Khuzestan province of the Persian empire in what is today Iran. A large percentage of the population were Syriacs, most of whom were Christians. Under the rule of Khosrau I, refuge was granted to Greek Nestorian Christian philosophers including the scholars of the Persian School of Edessa ( Urfa) (also called the Academy of Athens), a Christian theological and medical university. These scholars made their way to Gundeshapur in 529 following the closing of the academy by Emperor Justinian. They were engaged in medical sciences and initiated the first translation projects of medical texts. [113] The arrival of these medical practitioners from Edessa marks the beginning of the hospital and medical center at Gundeshapur. [114] It included a medical school and hospital (bimaristan), a pharmacology laboratory, a translation house, a library and an observatory. [115] Indian doctors also contributed to the school at Gundeshapur, most notably the medical researcher Mankah. Later after Islamic invasion, the writings of Mankah and of the Indian doctor Sustura were translated into Arabic at Baghdad.

Another work of al-Razi is called the Kitab Tibb al-Muluki ( Regius). This book covers the treatments and cures of diseases and ailments, through dieting. It is thought to have been written for the noble class who were known for their gluttonous behavior and who frequently became ill with stomach diseases. According to the Ancient Greeks, vision was thought to a visual spirit emanating from the eyes that allowed an object to be perceived. [72] The 11th century Iraqi scientist Ibn al-Haytham, also known as Al-hazen in Latin, developed a radically new concept of human vision. [72] Ibn al-Haytham took a straightforward approach towards vision by explaining that the eye was an optical instrument. [72] The description on the anatomy of the eye led him to form the basis for his theory of image formation, which is explained through the refraction of light rays passing between two media of different densities. [72] Ibn al-Haytham developed this new theory on vision from experimental investigations. [72] In the 12th century, his Book of Optics was translated into Latin and continued to be studied both in the Islamic world and in Europe until the 17th century. [72] Colgan, Richard (2013).

Prophetic Medicine - The Spiritual Life Prophetic Medicine - The Spiritual Life

Female surgeons in Anatolia generally performed some gynaecological procedures, like surgical management of fleshy growth of the clitoris, imperforated female pudenda, warts and red pustules arising in the female pudenda, perforations and eruptions of the uterus, abnormal labours, and extractions of the abnormal foetus or placenta. Interestingly, in the Cerrahiyyetu’l-Haniyye, we find illustrations in the form of miniatures indicating female surgeons. It can therefore be speculated that they reflect the early recognition (15th century) of female surgeons treating paediatric neurosurgical diseases like foetal hydrocephalus and macrocephalus (20). The attitude towards women in the history of medicine reflects the general view that society held of women during the period. It is interesting that in the treatise of Serefeddin Sabuncuoglu, we find an open-minded view of women, including female practitioners in the complex field of surgery (20). Bloodletting and cauterization were techniques widely used in ancient Islamic society by physicians, as a therapy to treat patients. These two techniques were commonly practiced because of the wide variety of illnesses they treated. Cauterization, a procedure used to burn the skin or flesh of a wound, was performed to prevent infection and stop profuse bleeding. To perform this procedure, physicians heated a metal rod and used it to burn the flesh or skin of a wound. This would cause the blood from the wound to clot and eventually heal the wound.

He never published his anatomical observations in a separate book, as had been his intention. [76] Modern Islamic Medicine [ edit ] Avicenna's medicine became the representative of Islamic medicine mainly through the influence of his famous work al-Canon fi al Tibb ( The Canon of Medicine). [63] The book was originally used as a textbook for instructors and students of medical sciences in the medical school of Avicenna. [63] The book is divided into five volumes:
