Islamic Code of Practice for the Medical Profession
The basic principle of this book is to help doctors lead their medical life through Islam. For youngsters learning medicine, it should open up a healthy passage to future activities and prepare them well before they face real life and its challenges. Even the non-Muslims might have an awakening after reading it. The Quranic verses given in this book support the views expressed. It imparts knowledge and practice of medicine Islamically. A doctor should be a true believer in God, and should be conscious of Him in open and secret.
The book comprises of 11 chapters each giving a detailed explanation. The first chapter explains the definition and meaning in a vast and varied style. Medical Practice occupies a position much above other professions. The second chapter details the qualities of a doctor, A doctor should be a true believer in God, obedient to his commandments, abstain from His prohibitions and is conscious of Him in open and secret. It is obligatory on a doctor to be humble, kind, not forgetful of God’s blessings on him, be grateful to Him, seeking His help and aid. Chapter three promises a healthy and generous relationship of a doctor with another doctor. Chapter four gives the importance of a doctor to patient relationship. If generally viewed the relationship between the doctor and patient is very important, but the relationship between the doctor and another doctor is equally important. A doctor should be a trustworthy person in the eyes of the patient. The next chapter informs how necessary it is for a doctor to keep up a patient’s secrets. Chapter Six brings out the testing part of a doctor’s life, although each day is a test for him. An ideal doctor should have a single objective of medical service to everyone - whether friend or foe. The succeeding chapter details on the sanctity of Human Life which briefs the actions forbidden by a doctor. The chapters following this, intensify a doctor’s responsibilities, The community and a Doctor, A Doctor and Research and Development and Medical Education. Efficiently written to touch a doctor’s heart, this book is absolutely worth a look with a brilliant doctor’s oath in the end. When compared with the ancient Hippocratic Oath that doctors usually make at the end of their studies, the code of Practice for the medical profession as presented in this book is definitely wider in scope, reasonable and humanistic.
In today’s world of declining morals, this is certainly a refreshing and elevating contribution and should reach every practitioner and worker in the field of medicine, whatever his or her religious belief be.
