PSYCHOTHERAPY MEDICAL EDUCATION Razi (Razes: 841-926 A.D.) advised the medical students that while they examine a patient, they should bear in mind the classic symptoms of a disease as given in textbooks and compare them with what they found". The ablest physicians such as Razi (Al-Razes), Ibn-Sina (Avicenna: $80-1037 A.D.) and Ibn Zuhr (Avenzoar: 116 A.D.) worked both as the directors and the deans of medical schools. They studied patients and prepared them for student presentation. Clinical reports of cases were written and preserved for teaching," and regular registers were maintained. Training in Basic Science Only Jundi-Shapur or Baghdad had separate schools for studying basic sciences. Candidates for medical study received basic preparation from private tutors through private lectures and self study. in Baghdad anatomy was taught by dissecting the apes, observing skeletal studies, and studying didactics. Other medical schools taught anatomy through lectures and illustrations. Alchemy was one of the prerequisites for admission to a medical school. The study of medicinal herbs and pharmacognosy rounded off the basic training. A number of hospitals maintained herbal gardens as a source of drugs for the patients and a means of instruction for the students.

May/June 1982 Volume 33, Number 3 May/June 1982 Volume 33, Number 3 Science:The Islamic Legacy Science in the Golden Age Written by Paul Lunde Illustrated by Michael Grimsdale Additional illustrations courtesy of Bodleian Library Towards the end of the 10th century, Ibn al-Nadim, son of a Baghdad , bookseller and boon companion of Abbasid caliphs, compiled an annotated bibliography of books that had passed through his hands during the course of his long and active life. The sheer number of books that he lists, to say nothing of the range of their subject matter, is astonishing: Aristotle appears beside Sindbad the Sailor, Euclid beside the stories of Goha, Plato beside the poems of'Antar ibn Shad-dad. The most striking feature of Ibn al-Nadim's catalog, however, is the number of books dealing with science. In a chapter entitled The Reason Why Books on Philosophy and Other Ancient Sciences Became Plentiful in This Country, Ibn al-Nadim relates a strange story of how Aristotle appeared in a dream to the Caliph al-Ma'mun and assured him that there was no conflict between reason and revelation. Thus reassured, al-Ma'mun set about obtaining the works of the Greek philosophers, the first step toward founding the famous House of Wisdom, a center for the translation of Greek scientific works into Arabic. Ibn al-Nadim told the story this way: This dream was one of the most definite reasons for the output of books. Between al-Ma'mun and the Byzantine emperor there was correspondence ... so al-Ma'mun wrote to the Byzantine emperor asking his permission to obtain a selection of old scientific manuscripts, stored and treasured in the country of the Byzantines. After first refusing, he finally complied, and al-Ma'mun sent forth a number of scholars, among them al-Hajjaj ibn Matar, Ibn al-Batrik, Salman, the director of the House of Wisdom and many others. They selected books from those they found and brought them back to al-Ma'mun, who ordered them to prepare translations of them.

28. THE FIRST MEDICAL EXAMINATION IN HISTORY unless he was able to satisfy the foremost authority in medicine, the courtphysician sinan ibn thabit of Harran, of his competence and proficiency. http://www.ams.ac.ir/AIM/0254/0254269.htm

T HE F IRST M EDICAL E XAMINATION IN H ISTORY Farokh Saidi MD Academy of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran • Correspondence: F. Saidi MD, Academy of Medical Sciences,Tehran, Iran. P.O.Box: 19395–4655, Fax: +98-21-2932125. Candidates sitting for any medical specialty examination are frequently too engrossed with how to pass the examination and want to know why the examination has to be taken in the first place. Afterwards, it really makes no difference. Historic records show that the first ever medical examination was administered 12 centuries ago in Baghdad. Ali Ibn Rabban of Tabaristan, a Persian physician from the southern part of the Caspian sea, entered the service of Caliph Al-Mutawakkil as court physician in Baghdad. In 850 AD, he completed his 550-page medical compendium called “The Paradise of Wisdom” in which he wrote: “He who perpends this book with understan-ding resembles one who wanders in fruitful and pleasant gardens, or in the markets of great cities, wherein is provided for each of the senses its pleasure and delight. But just as he who limits his knowledge of such gardens and cities to the contemplation of their gates is as one who sees naught of them, so he who enumerates the chapters of this my book without attentively reading what is contained in each, doth not understand the true meaning of what I say But he who masters this book, and fully fathoms and perpends it, will find in it the greater part of what the young graduate needs of the Science of Medicine and the action of the natural forces in this Microcosm and also in the Macrocosm.”

29. Hospitals In Medievel Islam sinan ibn thabit Ibn Qurra an eminent physician was the InspectorGeneral of Health.The outbreak of large scale epidemics in the Abbasid domains http://www.netmuslims.com/info/hospitals.html

Hospitals in Medieval Islam Early period Even before the anvent of Islam, Haris Ibn Kalda, ·a resident of Taif who had mastered medical science was welcomed in the court of the Persian emperor, Nausherwan, the Just. His son, Nasir Ibn Haris, earned an even greater reputation than his father as a physician and was instrumental in popularising medical science in early Islamic Arabia. Hazrat Omar, the second Caliph of Islam despatched a company of physicians along with the Arab army bound for Persia. The Omayyad Caliphate represents a period of consolidation and proper organisation of Muslim resources. The third Omayyad Caliph, Walid Ibn Abdul Malik, who took much interest in public works, founded an institute for blind and disabled persons. He established the first medical dispensary in Islam in 88 A. H. and staffed it with a number of able physicians and surgeons. Soon afterwards dozens of small dispensaries sprang up all over the vast Omayyad empire. Abbasids The maintenance of efficiency and high standards in the medical profession was also looked after. As early as the days of Mamun and Mutasim, pharmacists- had to pass a sort of proficiency test, before starting their practice.

Home Islamic Bioethics Vision of some Medical Practices Medical Jurisprudence Third Symposium on "The Islamic Vision of Some Medical Practices" Held from 18-21 April, 1987 A.D. RESPONSIBILITY OF DOCTORS AS VIEWED BY JURISTS His Eminence Dr. Muhammad Sayed Tantawi Mufti of Egypt 1. Responsibilities vary in importance and gravity according to impacts and results. It is indisputable that the responsibility shouldered by doctors is considered the greatest, because they are the guardians of souls and bodies of people, and because people are cured, God willing, from the most incurable and severest diseases through them. Any error or neglect on their part may lead to delay in recovery, or to ruin and death. 2. The medical profession strikes deep roots along thousands of years, as man, at any time and in any place, seeks to be cured of diseases and may sacrifice all his property in pursuit of recovery. Therefore, health is a matchless blessing whose value is not perfectly known except by those who suffer the agonies of disease. The honourable Hadith says: "There are two blessings which many people lose: (they are) Health and free time for doing good".

ASUTA The Journal for the Study and Research into the Mandaean Culture, Religion, and Language. Volume 5 Special Issue Online edition Sabians, Sabaeans, or Sabeans Sabaeans of Harran The city of Harran was founded around 2000 BC as a merchant outpost of Ur, situated on the major trade route across northern Mesopotamia . The name comes from the Sumerian and Akkadian "Harran-U", meaning "journey", "caravan", or "crossroad" Figure #8 Harran For centuries it was a prominent Assyrian city, known for its Temple of Sin, the Moon God Figure #10 Harran Figure #9 Harran The theology of the Harranians can be divided into three periods. The first is the Assyrian-Babylonian period from about 2000 BC up to the beginning of the Christian era. During this time Sin was the supreme deity. The second period can be noted as being from the beginning of the Christian era to the Islamic period. During this time the Harranians still clung to their belief in Sin and appear to have expanded into various sects. The third period begins in the 10th century AD. This time period gives us a wealth of information on the Harranians. Not only do the Harranians retain Sin, but also they now claim to have been descended of Abraham and note Adam among their ancestors. The Assyrian Babylonian Period The religion of the ancient Mesopotamian people left its mark on the entire Middle East. The literature, cosmogony and rituals influenced the major religious ideas today of Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition. Archaeologists are reconstructing the religious world of Mesopotamia through the ancient these ancient temples, ziggurats, and the cuneiform writings of hymns, myths, lamentations, and incantations.

Ibrahim ibn Sinan ibn Thabit ibn Qurra Born: 908 in Baghdad, (now in Iraq) Died: 946 in Baghdad, (now in Iraq) Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Version for printing Ibrahim ibn Sinan was a grandson of Thabit ibn Qurra and studied geometry and in particular tangents to circles. He also studied the apparent motion of the Sun and the geometry of shadows. There is no doubt that had he not died at the young age of thirty-eight, he would have achieved a degree of fame for his mathematical works going even beyond the opinion of Sezgin (see [5] and [6]) that he was:- ... one of the most important mathematicians in the medieval Islamic world. Perhaps his early death robbed him of the chance to make a contribution even more important than that of his famous grandfather. Ibrahim's most important work was on the quadrature of the parabola where he introduced a method of integration more general than that of Archimedes . His grandfather Thabit ibn Qurra had started to view integration in a different way to Archimedes but Ibrahim realised that al-Mahani had made improvements on what his father had achieved. To Ibrahim it was unacceptable that (see for example [1]):-
