Medicine

Medicine and cure in Islam (Sunnah).

Muslims turn to the Quran and Sunnah for guidance in all areas of life, including health and medical matters. As collected in the Hadith, the Prophet Muhammad once said that “Allah did not create a disease for which he did not also create a cure.” Muslims are therefore encouraged to explore and use both traditional and modern forms of medicine and to have faith that any cure is a gift from Allah.

Traditional medicine in Islam is often referred to as Medicine of the Prophet (al-tibb an-Nabawi). Muslims often explore the Medicine of the Prophet as an alternative to modern therapies, or as a supplement to modern medical treatment.
