This document provides an overview of Islamic medicine. It discusses the history of Islamic medicine from the 8th to 13th centuries when major Muslim physicians and scholars made significant contributions to the field. Modern medicine, Islamic medicine, homeopathy and traditional medicine do not need to be in conflict. Islamic medicine is flexible, universal, and embraces growth and development. It should be guided by the teachings of the Quran and Hadith and bring people closer to God. The ethical foundations of Islamic medicine are discussed regarding issues like reproduction, contraception, and organ replacement. The conclusion emphasizes that Islamic medical practitioners should focus on teaching and practicing good medicine and substantive research to substantiate Islamic medicine as the right approach.

3. INTRODUCTION

4. Closer to human itself is the issue of medicine. Modern
medicine,Islamic medicine, homeopathy and traditional medicine
need not be in conflict with one another. This is the core message of
writers of this topic. The principle is simple, Allah has given cure to
allillnessanditisformantosearchandapplythebestcurethathas

5. To study that Islamic
medicine is an universal
and should be
acceptable to all
To prove that Islamic
medicine is
irrespective of
geographical
localities and cultural
or religious
background
To find out the effectiveness of
Islamic medicine and remembered
that it is not a therapeutic regime
or procedures but rather a
concept, value, paradigm, guided
and does not contradict the
teaching of Al-Quran and Hadith
To prove that Islamic
medicine is felexible,
universal, all
embracing with room
for growth and
development for the
future

6. Modernmedicalpracticeisbecomingincreasinglypluralisticanddiverse.
Hence, cultural competency and awareness are given more focus in physician
training seminars and within medical school curricula. A renewed interest in
describing the varied ethical constructs of specific populations has taken palce
within medical literature. This paper aims to provide an overview of Islamic
medicine technology. Beginning with an introduction of Islamic medicine
technology, the reader will be introduced to the scope of Islamic medicine
technology, from that aimed at developing moral character to writing grounded in
Islamic law. In the latter from, there is an attempt to derive an Islamic perspective
on Islamic medicine technology. It is hoped that the insights gained will aid both
clinicians and ethicist to better understand the Islamic medicine technology of

11. It means different things to different people, in view of the different background
and interest
The resurgence of Islam has no doubt created a great influence on the
desire of the ummah to define and practise medicine in line with Islam.
Many confusions arise especially with regard to the concept of Islamic medicine
and medicine as practised by Muslim ( Kasule, 1995 ). The latter is not the same
and far from meeting the criteria of Islamic medicine.

13. The technological know how and its application
should not be value-free and should be done in a framework
agreeable to Islam.The norms and values should be determined
by Islamic laws and not by the circumstances and change with
time. It should be opened to all kinds of knowledge, being
universal, objective and scientific regardless of when and where
the knowledge was discovered and formulated, and by who. The
knowledge and its application should bring men closer to Allah
SWT and make them become the khalifah as mentioned in the
Quran(Al-Baqarah:30)
