الطب النبوي


Preservation of life is mandated by the following verse of the Qur’ ā n: “The saving of one life is as if one has saved humanity. “From the earliest times in the history of Islam, medicine has played a vital role. The importance of seeking treatment was emphasized by the Prophet himself in his sayings, which are known as the H.ad ī th: “Allah never created a disease for which he did not create a cure. So seek treatment.” “There is a cure for every malady (except old age). If the right treatment is administered, Allah willing the malady is cured. “All the religious scholars agree that a medical doctor is ordained to find a cure for a disease and if one is not found, he should continue to do research until it is found. Thus in Islam disease is not looked upon as a curse from God to be endured and suffered but as an affliction for which a cure has to be sought and administered, with patience and perseverance.

Our Prophet (P.B.U.H), on the authority of Yasir, says: "For each disease there is a cure; and when the (fight) treatment is given, the disease is cured by the Will of Allah", (cited by Ahmad and Muslim).

"by the time verily Man is in loss..."

Omega-3 Fatty-Acid Intake Improves Neurodevelopment in Preterm Girls


January 15, 2009 — Investigators observed an 80% reduction in the proportion of baby girls with significant mental delays when they had a diet rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These are the findings of a randomized controlled trial published in the January 14, 2009 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Although the researchers did not see statistically significant benefits in boys or babies born weighing less than 1250 g, they say that there appeared to be a reduction in the proportion of babies with significant mental delay in these groups with high-DHA treatment.

"We recommend increased DHA for all preterm infants born at less than 33 weeks' gestation," lead author Maria Makrides, PhD, from the Women's and Children's Hospital in Adelaide, Australia told Medscape Neurology & Neurosurgery.

We think that the level of DHA used in the treatment arm of our study should become the new gold standard for preterm infants.

"We think that the level of DHA used in the treatment arm of our study should become the new gold standard for preterm infants, whether it is supplied through breast milk or infant formula," Dr. Makrides said.

"It is important to note that we did not find negative effects of increasing the dietary DHA content. The high-DHA babies grew as well as those fed standard DHA, and we have confidence that the level of DHA used in the study — around 1% of the total dietary fat — was safe," she added.
