Medicine

Final Copy: __**Introduction**__ Medicine is an important part of the Muslim religion. There were many Islamic doctors such as Ibn Sina and Ibn Riza who contributed a lot of Muslim Medicine. There were also many Muslim hospitals where the wealthy could care for the poor and the healthy could care for the sick which was a rule of the Koran. Muslim doctors also made many contributions to other religions and to the present day such as the use of plants for medicine. Muslim medicine had a large impact on the world.

 * __Subtopic 1: Islamic Doctors and Their Achievements to Medicine__**

In order for Islamic Medicine to improve their had to be people to make the changes. Two people that greatly contributed to Muslim Medicine were Ibn Riza (Rhazes) and Ibn Sina. Ibn Sina was born in 980 A.D. in the village of Afshana near Bukhara. He was an intelligent child and at age ten he was proficient in the Koran and the Arabic Classics. When he was seven-teen he decided to go into the field of medicine. One of his most famous achievements was the book __The Canon of Medicine__ which had five sections; general medical principals, the Materia Medica, diagnosis and treatment of localized diseases, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the entire body such as a fever, and the use of compound drugs. Also he had six-teen medical works and eight were about the twenty-five sings indicating the fatal termination of an illness.Also he was the first to diagnose smallpox, measles and hemophilia. Another famous Islamic doctor was Ibn Riza or Rhazes. Ibn Riza was born in about 850 A.D. One of his greatest achievements was his book about measles and smallpox. In his book he explained the difference between measles and smallpox and explained that a fever was not part of the illness, but the body's way of fighting the illness. Both Ibn Sina and Ibn Riza or Rhazes contributed to Muslim Medicine.



**__Subtopic 2:Hospitals- Wealthy caring for the poor, healthy caring for the sick (Koran)__**

One of the 5 pillars of Islam, the rules which govern the Muslims, is to take care of people who are less fortunate than themselves. Many Muslim rulers demonstrated this by setting up hospitals in cities all over the Islamic world. By the 12th century, the city of Baghdad had 60 hospitals. There were not only only more hospitals in the Islmaic empire but the technology they had was far more superior then any other empires medical technology. Muslim hospitals had separate rooms(called wards) for people with different diseases, trained nurses and physicians and a place to store the drugs for treatments. Most hospitals taught medical students and were inspected regularly to make sure that they were up to standard. Students received a certificate to prove that they had attended the hospital in Baghdad. Once the students received their certificate they could treat the sick who had a fever, small pox or any other disease. Most of the Islamic Empire gave some of their money to hospitals and patients recovering from an illness. The rules of the Koran influenced Muslim Medicine.

__**Subtopic 3:Islamic Medicine, Koran, and ways of life**

__In contrast to the modern western civilization,the classical Islamic tradition does not separate science from religion. One finds that both the Qur'an and the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad are saturated with references to learning, education,observation,the use of reasons in all relms of life- medicine and health care included.Islam teaches individuals and societies how to live a mentally,physically, and morally upright life. The Islamic legal system, derived from the Qur'an and //Sunnah// (traditions of the Prophet), tries to aim at creating a healthy environment that will have a positive effect on an individual's physical, mental, and spiritual development. At a physical level the Qur'an and Sunnah encourage healthy eating, and at the same time forbid all substances that causes bodily harm: intoxicants, drugs, and so forth. Fruits and vegetables, dates, yogurt, camel milk, natural honey, and black seeds are especially emphasized for their nutritious quality and healthy benefits that will help the body become better. Muslims today approach medicine and health care in a lot of ways.There are some Muslims that live in rural areas with limited access to modern day technology and they don't want the modern day technology any ways. Many of those people rely on the old tradition of medical treatment. In the last few decades has witnessed a renewed interest in reviving traditional Islamic medicine to the modern day medicine.

__Conclusion__ In conclusion the Muslim's have made many contributions to the world today. The Muslims are the reason why there are books that help doctors and scientists cure ear infections or preform surgeries. They also gave today's society the idea of using certain substances to an illness. If it were not for Ibn RIza and Ibn Sina in today's world doctors could possibly not have to tools to cure those who are sick. Muslim Medicine was immensely important to Muslim religion.
