Unani-Tibb: An Introduction to Traditional Islamic Medicine

Unani-Tibb: An Introduction to Traditional Islamic Medicine with Dr. Shahid Bukhari ‘Tibb’ comes from the root meaning in medicine from Arabic, and dates from the early Islamic period (750-1000 CE). ‘Unani’ means Greek, and Unani Tibb refers to the tradition in South Asia. The tradition is based on earlier Greek medicine and was developed within the Islamic Empire by Muslim, Christian and Jewish scholars. They were supported by Muslim rulers keen to develop medical and scientific knowledge. This led to a large-scale translation movement converting texts into Arabic. It also generated enormous amounts of new medical knowledge, collected in encyclopedias by scholars such as Ibn Sina. These were translated from Arabic into Latin and became the basis of European medical teaching for many centuries. Tibb is based on the Greek concept of humors in which the mixture of humors contributes to an individual’s temperament. The Hakim, or doctor, keeps the individual’s temperament internally balanced and in harmony with the environment. Practitioners use the gentlest treatments possible to restore balance. They often advise changes in lifestyle, diet, and exercise. The progressive Muslim occupation of India from the 11th century brought new medical knowledge. Muslims’ growing influence in South Asia over the centuries saw Tibb expand too. Tibb eventually became Unani Tibb, or Greek medicine, throughout the region. It developed as a tradition and shared materia medica ideas with Ayurveda. Dr. Shahid Bukhari is a graduate of Tibb Traditional Medicine and Herbalism, who initially started his practice in London but then moved to Manchester opening his successful business in the North West of England. Dr. Bukhari is a Master Iridologist and studied at the Holistic Health College with Peter and Angela Bradbury. In this seminar, Dr. Shahid will explain: • What is Unani Medicine? • The approach Unani-Tibb Medicine takes to help heal patients compared to that of modern medicine • The concept of hot, cold, dry, wet and how that can affect our long-term health • Unani treatment through diet, exercise, and hijama (cupping) • An introduction to healthier living and small changes we can make to have a greater impact on our well-being through nutrition

The title of the Holy Prophet of Islam is Habib Allah, the beloved of God. This hub, this love for the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) could be described as the great transformative emotion of Islam”. - Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad Did you not see how Allah illustrated the example of a sacred saying? Like a sacred tree, which has firm roots and branches reaching into heaven. Bearing fruit at all times by the command of its Lord, and Allah illustrates examples for people so that they may understand.[Ibrahim 14:24-25] The Blessed Tree documentary is the rediscovery of the tree whereas a child the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing be upon him) met with Bahira, the Christian monk who foretold the Prophethood of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). A meditation on the themes of love of the Prophet, veneration of holy sites, grace and symbolism. This film tells the story of the meeting between the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon Him) and a Christian monk named Bahira. The meeting happened in the shade of a tree. This incident was when the Prophet Muhammad was 12 years old. Fourteen hundred years later that same tree was discovered still alive in the northern deserts of Jordan. The only tree alive in hundreds of square miles of emptiness. This tree is a link to the life of the Prophet and a place of pilgrimage today. Join us for the exciting event at M.E.C.C.A where we will screen the documentary and our host, Zainab Ismail will be having a skype conversation with Waseem Mahmood, the Programs Manager from Alchemiya. They will discuss the vision of the video on demand service and ideas on other future content for the service platform to benefit the global audience. *Please Share Widely* #IslamInColour #MuslimCulture #IslamOnDemand

Refuting Misinterpretations of the Qur'an

These are difficult times for the entire world, and an especially trying time for Muslims. Those who have committed horrific crimes in the name of Islam, a beautiful and tranquil religion, have caused those outside of the faith to doubt all Muslims, and even blame them and also to blame Islam.

In this session, we will take a closer look at these verses and learn how to discredit and refute such claims.
