National Pharmacy Workshop on Prophetic Medicine
The Faculty of Pharmacy at Tishk International University, with the contributions of both staff and students, organised a workshop in honour of Mawlid-Al-Nabawi, titled National Pharmacy Workshop on Prophetic Medicine, held on October 27th, 2022. The purpose of the workshop was to honour Islamic knowledge through Quranic verses and Hadiths told by our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) on the medical use of different types of food and nutrition. The workshop also aimed to highlight the relationship between prophetic medicine and the revelations of what modern scientists have discovered and proved in modern years.
The workshop was supervised by Mr. Mohammed Fatih and Mr. Ali Omar and sponsored by Paky Hospital. The national workshop held an agenda starting with an opening ceremony of Quran Recitation by Dr. Muhammed Sultan. The ceremony was followed by an opening speech delivered by the Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Dr. Duran Kala, who welcomed the speakers, guests and participants of the workshop and expressed the importance of prophetic medicine in the world of pharmacy. This workshop was held with the pleasure of three keynote speakers who delivered presentations on prophetic medicine.
Asst. Prof. Dr. Salim Zangana, General Surgery Consultant and General Director of Paky Hospital, presented Preventive Medicine in Islam. He signified the importance of prevention, which is a highly regarded approach in medicine and Islam to avoid further harm to the human body and health.
The next speaker was Prof. Dr. Othman Mohammed Gharib, Lecturer at the University of Salahaddin, College of Islamic Sciences, and Imam and Orator at Baxtyary Mosque. His topic was titled “The entrance of medical sciences in Islam”, elaborating on the vast knowledge of medicine in Islam and its relations to modern scientific research.
The last presentation, titled “Prophetic Sleep Routine as Medicine”, was delivered by Dr. Rozhan Arif, Lecturer at Tishk International University, Pharmacy Department. Dr. Rozhan’s topic held the importance of the sleep routine followed by our prophet (SAW) on our health, which resembled what scientists now conclude as a healthy sleeping schedule and its negligence by the new generation and its harm caused.
The workshop ended with a short video in which Tishk International University’s staff and students were asked to deliver a small message about our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). One of the video participants had a wonderful message and was awarded a small gift by one of our honourable guests, Imam Fatih Sharisteni.
The workshop also included a coffee break in which our dear guests and participants enjoyed food, gifts, entertainment and a scientific poster presentation prepared by the students and staff of the Pharmacy Department at Tishk International University.
