...LETS BE A GREAT MUSLIM DOCTOR...
To be a great moslem doctor in not easy because we must to face and solve the hard problem.as like sunnatullah to become a successful person we must follow any person who are successful man in the past.so to be a great doctor we must follow the great doctor such as IBNU SINA et al* and the most important thing is ethics from practician.the role to be a great moslem doctor are:

1. The Public Responsibility: A Muslim doctor is supposed to belong to a Muslim community where there is some common cause, common feelings and mutual solidarity. "Believers are brethren" (IXL, 10) God also says:

"And hold fast all of you together to the Rope of
Allah, and be not divided among yourselves: and
remember Allah's favor on you, for you were
enemies and He joined your hearts together, so
that by His Grace you became brethern..."

(111, 103)

The implication is the Muslim doctor is a member in a Muslim community where the same body of the individual is crucial for its survival and development. T'he doctor has a big say and great weight in influencing his patients and in righteously guiding their orientation. Besides, he should be actively involved in propagating true Islam among Muslims and non- Muslims. Almost all Christian missionaries depend on medical doctors when approaching alien masses, taking advantage of the humanistic service doctors render to poor diseased people. In a country like this where we live, the best missionary service to be render-ed by a medical doctor is to behave aU the time in accordance with his Islamic teachings, to declare his conviction, and to feel proud of it. Then he serves a good model that would convince others and gain their hearts. 2. Faith and healing: By accepting the fact that Allah is the healer - and that the doctor is only an agent, both patients - irrespective of their creeds - and their doctors, fight their battle of treatment with less agony and tension. I think it is an established fact that such spiritual conviction would improve the psychological state of the patient and boost his morale, and thus help him overcome his physical weakness and sickness. There are many examples where faith played a miraculous part in the process of healing. In my opinion, a Muslim doctor must make of faith the backbone of his entire healing procedure. 3. Reprehensible, Prohibited and Permissible Acts: More than any other professional, the Muslim medical doctor is confronted more frequently with questions regarding the Islamic legitimacy of his activities. There are almost daily controversial problematic issues on which he is supposed to decide: e.g. birth control, abortions, opposite sex hormonal injections, trans-sexual operations, brain operations affecting human personality, plastic surgery changing physionomy, extra-uterine conception, etc. The Muslim doctor should not be guided in such issues merely by the law of the country. He must also find the Islamic answer and rather adopt it as much as he can. To find the answer is not an easy matter, especially if the doctor himself has no reasonably solid background in the field of Islamic teachings. Yet, to gain such knowledge is very simple and would not consume much time as generally presumed.
