The explanation of the book

الحمد لله الذي أرسل رسوله بالهدى ودين الحق ليظهره على الدين كله وكفى بالله شهيدا وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah's praise and peace be upon our prophet Muhammad ﷺ as well as his family, his companions, and all those who follow his path until the Day of Resurrection.

We thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى for giving us this opportunity to explain a book full of knowledge and wisdom, which has allowed many people to become acquainted with Prophetic Medicine.

We are therefore beginning the first lesson on the authentic work on Prophetic Medicine (in Arabic "at-tibbu-n-nabawiyy") by Ibn al-Qayyim. The translation of this book comes to 400 pages, 25 of which are the introduction.

This introduction covers the definition of illness (of the body, the heart, and the spirit), the encouragement to seek treatment, the causes of natural illnesses, the degrees of food, and beliefs regarding certain illnesses, indigestion, and healing.

The introduction addresses many elements before getting to the heart of the matter.
After the introduction, Ibn al-Qayyim divided his book into three parts: the first part, about 130 pages, deals with natural remedies for several illnesses (about 30); the second part concerns psychological problems requiring ruqyah (the evil eye, insomnia, anxiety…), and in this part he also explains preventive medicine (how to sit at the table, etc.); the third part, about 150 pages (1/4 of the book), where he explains the foods and remedies (more than 100) reported in the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.

Here is the series of lessons:
