The history of Islam bears testimony to the fact that the Muslim scholars were not unaware of the emphasis laid down on health and medicine by the Prophet (Peace be upon him). Muslim scientists were aware of the then existing medical knowledge. They grabbed that knowledge, refined its matter, and reshaped its contours. In addition, they added useful information based on their observations and experiments and elucidated the unrevealed mysteries of the medical science. This research paper aims at revealing the generous contribution made by some significant Muslim physicians to the science of medicine.
