	Islamic medicine - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Islamic medicine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Medicine of the Arab-speaking world (Spain, North Africa, Arabia, Turkey, and Persia, now Iran) from the foundation of Islam in the early 7th century to the beginning of the European Renaissance in the 15th century.
		Doctors in Islamic hospitals were trained according to the ideas of Hippocrates, including his technique of clinical observation that focused on recording the symptoms and course of an illness.
		The importance of Islamic medicine during this period lies in its preservation of the texts of classical scholars, lost to Europe following the fall of the Roman Empire, and its creation of new sources of medical knowledge in the books written by doctors such as Avicenna and Rhazes.

	Nasr. Science and Civilization
		To understand the Islamic sciences in their essence, therefore, requires an understanding of some of the principles of Islam itself, even though these ideas may be difficult to express in modern terms and strange to readers accustomed to another way of thinking.
		Islamic civilization as a whole is, like other traditional civilizations, based upon a point of view: the revelation brought by the Prophet Muhammad is the "pure" and simple religion of Adam and Abraham, the restoration of a primordial and fundamental unity.
		The spirit of Islam emphasizes, by contrast, the unity of Nature, that unity that is the aim of the cosmological sciences, and that is adumbrated and prefigured in the continuous interlacing of arabesques uniting the profusion of plant life with the geometric crystals of the verses of the Quran.

	Islamic Medicine and Health Care
		Instead of reducing humans, ailments, and treatments strictly to their physical and mental dimensions, as secularly trained and oriented medical practitioners are prone to do, Islamic medicine uses a multipronged approach that focuses on the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of the problem at both individual and societal levels.
		According to the classical Islamic scholar Imam al-Ghazzali, "illness is one of the forms of experience by which man arrives at a knowledge of God." Other Muslim scholars argue that falling ill may be Allah's way of forcing the person to rest or care for the body before it deteriorates further.
		Muslim medical personnel are subject to shariah (Islamic law), on both a personal and professional level, but particularly in terms of their obligations towards patients, community, and society.
