Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet ﷺ-Ibn-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah

“Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet ﷺ” (Al-Tibb al-Nabawī) is a renowned section extracted from the monumental work Zad al-Ma’ad by the prolific scholar Imam Shams ad-Din Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (d. 1350 CE). This treatise moves beyond a simple listing of remedies, offering a profound integration of Islamic spirituality, natural healing, and bodily health. Ibn al-Qayyim meticulously discusses physical ailments, their treatments based on the Prophetic Sunnah (such as honey, black seed, and cupping), and the crucial role of faith and tawakkul (reliance on God) in the process of cure. It remains an authoritative and widely consulted classic for those seeking to understand traditional Islamic medical ethics and Prophetic lifestyle.
