In medieval times, Islamic thinkers elaborated the theories of the ancient Greeks and made extensive medical discoveries. There was a wide-ranging interest in health and disease, and Islamic doctors and scholars wrote extensively, developing complex literature on medication, clinical practice, diseases, cures, treatments, and diagnoses. {WikiProjectBannerShell|collapsed=yes|1= In the the history of medicine in the medieval islamic world most of the practices medical care factored on the dietary and fasting laws that were general rules of hygiene and burying the dead religious communities of "Muslims", "Jews" , "Christians" , "Zoroastrians" that which played large factor for the conditions of economy to be a success or failure.

Information about Arabic literature
I'm gong to add some more information about the original Arabic sources. As I am not aware of any comparable work in English, I'll cite Fuat Sezgin's seminal work, which was published, in German, by Brill in Leiden. Hope this will be acceptable. I'll gladly provide page scans, or cross-check and correct my edits, in case of any doubt. I'd also appreciate very much if anyone more knowledgeable than me would direct me to any corpus of the classical Arabic texts (other than EoI) which might provide more suitable reference for English-speaking users. --HajjiBaba (talk) 08:59, 3 January 2016 (UTC)In the early ninth century the idea of Arabic writing were established by the pre-Islamic practice of medicine which was later known as "Prophetic medicine" that was used alternate greek-based medical system. In the result medical practices of the society varied not only according to time and place but according to the various strata comprising the society. The economic and social levels of the patient determined to a large extent the type of care sought, and the expectations of the patients varied along with the approaches of the practitioners.

al-Razi on ethics
This statement about al-Razi is plainly incorrect. The author of the Adab al-Tabib was Al-Ruhawi, not al-Razi. I modified the section accordingly, and included Al-Ruhawi in the section on ethics. I left some reference to Rhazes as a role model for contemporary Islamic physicians, although IMHO slightly off-topic, as this seems to be a relevant topic of discussions within today's Islamic medical community. --HajjiBaba (talk) 10:11, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

The role of India
A multiply-blocked sockmaster has repeatedly attempted to add two sources



to support his case that India played a major role as a source of knowledge for Islamic medicine.

Curiously, the article already has a section Medicine in the medieval Islamic world, and this is already mentioned in the lead also. However, if anyone knows how the coverage of the Indian medical literature could be improved, that would be useful. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:54, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

Are there any more sources regarding the development of pharmaceutical sciences in the time period? The current section is very sparse, and only mentions that it was developed. LysolAllPurposeCleaner (talk) 16:37, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Can we add this in the article?
https://archive.org/details/audioDidTheProphetMuhammadPlagiariseAncientGreekEmbryology It's been suggested that much of this medical research is of Greek origin but that article presents some arguments against it. I wanted to put it there but I can't decide if it's acceptable there or not.--AdillAdell (talk) 03:30, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Pre-Islamic Medicine
During this era a many of the practicers that were taking care of the sick in the mid-East were mostly afraid of the new infectious illnesses that were barely getting treated with the limited resources that were herbs,vegetables, fruits and honey. During that process the most primary way of treating a illness was to see the prophet muhammad and few others in the early Islamic community which used prayer to heal your sickness from the deadly diseases.

Treatments of women
I felt like the article was lacking thoughts, attitudes and treatments of women's health in the medieval Islamic world so I decided to add sections that discuss some aspects of those. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NightmarePhule (talk • contribs) 22:44, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
