MEDICAL ETHICS
Medical ethics are a set of principles that guide the behavior of
healthcare professionals and institutions, ensuring that the care
they provide is ethical, just, and respects the dignity and
autonomy of patients.
ISLAM AND MEDICAL ETHICS
In the Islamic tradition, the preservation of human life is
considered one of the most important ethical principles. This
principle is reflected in the Quran verse, "Whoever saves
one life, it is as if he has saved all of mankind." (Quran
5:32). Muslims believe that every individual has the right
to receive medical care and that healthcare providers have
an ethical responsibility to provide the best possible care
to their patients.
In addition to the principle of preserving human life,
Muslims also uphold the principles of beneficence (doing
good), non-maleficence (avoiding harm), and justice in
medical ethics. Muslims believe that healthcare providers
should strive to provide care that is in the best interest of
their patients, without causing harm. Healthcare should
also be provided fairly and equally, without
discrimination or bias.

Muslims believe that the preservation of human life is of utmost
importance and that every effort should be made to maintain and
improve human health. Islamic theology teaches that human
beings have a responsibility to care for themselves and others
and to seek medical treatment when necessary.
In terms of medical ethics, Muslims believe in a number of
principles that guide their decisions and actions. These
principles include:
Sanctity of life:
The preservation of life is of utmost importance in Islam.
Muslims believe that every individual has the right to life, and
that this right should be protected at all costs.
Beneficence:
Muslims believe that it is important to act in the best interests of
the patient and to do no harm. Medical treatments and
interventions should be aimed at improving the health and
wellbeing of the patient.

Non-maleficence:
Muslims also believe in the principle of "do no harm." This
means that medical treatments and interventions should not
cause harm or worsen the patient's condition.
Autonomy:
Muslims believe that individuals have the right to make
decisions about their own health and medical treatment, as long
as these decisions do not harm themselves or others.
Justice:
Muslims believe that healthcare should be provided fairly and
equally, without discrimination or bias.
Overall, Muslims view medical ethics as an important aspect of
their faith, and they strive to uphold these principles in their
medical practices and decision-making processes.

right and that providing medical care is a noble profession.

ethical and moral principles in all aspects of medical practice.
Some of the key principles of medical practice in Islam include:
Respect for human life: Muslims believe that every human life
is sacred and should be respected. Medical practitioners are

improve the health of their patients.

empathy. Healthcare providers are expected to be sensitive to
the needs and concerns of their patients and to provide care that

Some medical PRACTICIES according to
Islam
Cupping and other traditional Islamic medical practices have
been used for centuries in the Muslim world and continue to be
used by some Muslims today. These practices are based on the
principles of Islamic medicine, which emphasize the importance
of natural remedies and holistic approaches to healthcare.
Cupping is a form of therapy in which cups are placed on the
skin and suction is applied to draw blood and other fluids to the
surface. This practice has been used in Islamic medicine for
hundreds of years and is believed to have a number of health
benefits, including reducing pain, improving circulation, and
boosting the immune system.

8. 7
Other traditional Islamic medical practices include hijama
(bloodletting), which involves making small incisions in the skin
to release stagnant blood and improve circulation, and the use of
herbs and natural remedies to treat a wide range of health
conditions.
While these practices are still used by some Muslims today, it is
important to note that they are not widely accepted in
mainstream modern medicine. Healthcare providers who work
with Muslim patients should be aware of these practices and
respectful of their patients' beliefs and cultural practices. At the
same time, they should also ensure that their patients are
receiving evidence-based medical care that meets modern
standards of safety and efficacy.
