Do you ever feel that modern health advice is too focused on fixing symptoms, leaving you searching for a more complete, faith-centred approach to wellbeing?
Medicine of the Prophet (Tibb an-Nabbi) written by the renowned polymath Imam Jalaluddin as-Suyuti, simplifies the complex science of Tibb into a structured framework.
By understanding the four bodily humours, you can accurately identify your specific body type and learn how to keep it balanced. You will also learn about the six essential lifestyle factors that are the core pillars of good health. The book concludes with an extensive list of Sunnah-based herbs and foods with their medicinal properties.
This is an essential companion for anyone looking to build a healthier, more holistic Sunnah lifestyle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 500-year-old book still relevant for modern health?
While medical technology has changed, the human body and the principles of balance—like diet, sleep, and emotional health—remain the same. This book focuses on Prophetic principles that complement modern healthcare.
Is this book too academic or difficult to read?
No, we have translated and edited this classical work into simple, everyday English specifically for the modern reader. It is organised into clear sections that make it a very easy read.
How authentic are the remedies mentioned?
The book is written by Imam as-Suyuti, one of the most prolific and respected scholars in Islamic history. He draws directly from the Qur’an and authentic hadith, as well as the medical experience of his time.
Does this book replace the need for a doctor?
No. This book is a guide to holistic living and preventative care. It provides spiritual and natural insights into wellbeing, but it is not recommended to use it without professional advice.
I thought Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah wrote Tibb an-Nabawi. Is this book by Imam al-Suyuti the same thing?
No. They are two different texts written nearly 150 years apart that serve different purposes.
Ibn al-Qayyim’s Tibb an-Nabawi was originally a famous section within his massive work, Zad al-Ma’ad (Provisions for the Hereafter). It focuses on the Sunnah foods and their benefits drawing heavily from hadith.
Imam al-Suyuti’s Tibb an-Nabbi also draws heavily from the hadith but goes deeper to understand the science behind the Sunnah. There is additional material on the humours and the lifestyle factors that also affect health thus presenting a more holistic framework of Prophetic medicine.
