Tib-e-Nabvi Prophetic Medicine Unveiled (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9787458208998)

Embark on a scholarly exploration of "Prophetic Medicine (Ṭibb al-nabawī)," an intriguing Islamic genre of religious medical literature that flourished in Damascus between the 11th and 14th centuries. Delve into the pages of this thesis, which challenges conventional perspectives by urging a contextual understanding of Prophetic Medicine in its author's own terms.

While modern scholarship has often focused on the interplay between Prophetic Medicine and Greco-Islamic medical theory, this thesis asserts the need to reevaluate this genre within the dynamic intellectual and cultural milieu of Seljūk and early Mamlūk rule. Rather than framing it as a mere response to "Hellenistic" medicine, the narrative unfolds against a backdrop of intellectual stimulation and a call, by certain scholars, to return to a more original version of Islam
