ISLAM CIVILIZATION AND ISLAMIC MEDICINE Prof. Dr. Haydar Sur Ancient times… Disease factors existed before the emergence of man Fossils show that diseases have not changed for millions of years Medicine was born from the natural instinct of humanity running towards healing Animals have survived, perpetuated their lineage and cured their diseases thanks to their instincts that have persisted for millions of years Haydar Sur Presentation 2 Animals can treat themselves Goats with cataracts remove their opaque lenses by rubbing their sick eyes on the bushes Storks that eat too much, empty the water they take in their beaks into their rectums and make an enema to relieve the swelling in their abdomen Sheepdogs eat hairy grass when they need to vomit Buffaloes with parasites on their skin are cleaned by taking a mud bath Cats and dogs eat chamomile when their stomach hurts, and white litter when they are constipated Injured deer eat Cretan grass, mix this grass and mud with their tongues and rub it on their wounds Parrots, who cannot distinguish poisonous plants, neutralize the poison by eating from the kaolin pile many kilometers away after they fill their stomachs Haydar Sur Presentation 3 Signature Theory While the art of medicine went through different stages in various parts of the world, they tried to determine in which diseases plants and minerals would be used, with the Signal Theory This is an opinion that we can only meet with a smile today Haydar Sur Presentation 4 For Example: White milky plants such as figs increase breast milk. Yellow milky plants such as celandine in jaundice Bamboo is used in spinal diseases due to its knotty appearance Gold is yellow due to its color Spotted stones in spotted diseases Walnut has been used in mental illnesses because it resembles the brain Haydar Sur Presentation 5 3 universal civilizations emerged in the history of culture Greek civilization Islamic civilization Western civilization What makes them universal is that they try to comprehend and explain the universe as a whole, and for this purpose they put forward their philosophy by using all the knowledge of their age Haydar Sur Presentation 6 ISLAMIC CIVILIZATION: FROM SPAIN TO INDIA (VIII - XIV Centuries) Islamic civilization is the connecting link between Egyptian-Mesopotamian and Greco-Roman cultures and Western civilization, which started with the Renaissance and has survived to the present day With the unifying and driving power of Islam, it synthesized the ancient cultural accumulation in its geography with its own values and presented it to the service of humanity Later, he transferred this accumulation to Europe via Sicily and Andalusia Haydar Sur Presentation 7 The Islamic civilization and Europe were fed from the same source; Ancient The Arab tribes living as scattered and hostile, combined with the message that Hz. Muhammad conveyed in 610- 32, it embraced Islam and the Prophet In a short period of 100 years, they conquered the Near East, Iran, a part of the Middle East, North Africa, Spain and Sicily and spread Islam from Spain to Central Asia Haydar Sur Presentation 8 The common written language of Islamic civilization is Arabic Thanks to the works they created in Arabic, Muslims enabled the knowledge to be carried over long distances in a short time The desire to read and write affected the whole Islamic world, At the end of the century, the number of literate people reached a level that could not be compared anywhere else in that era The Islamic civilization was called the Arab civilization because of its common written language The views put forward by the people of various races and faiths living in the Islamic geography and the views of the Ancient Greek civilization under the leadership of the Islamic civilization were created with a new perspective on science. Haydar Sur Presentation 9 The Rise of Islamic Civilization The reasons why Islamic civilization has dominated the world of science and culture since the 8th century : Promoting science by verses and hadiths The patronage of scientists by the wealthy The accumulations of Muslim societies Thanks to the works written in Arabic, which has been adopted as the language of science, the information can be transported to distant places in a short time Arabic translations of Greek and Indian works Haydar Sur Presentation 10 The Fall of the Islamic Civilization Islamic civilization awakened Europe with the translation of its works into Latin from the 12th century It started to lose creativity in the following periods, repeat itself from the 15th century Haydar Sur Presentation 11 The distinguishing feature for Islamic culture and civilization is science Islam is the religion of science Science has not gained the position it has in Islam in other belief systems Accepting that our ability to know is limited and that we can make mistakes is one of the basic conditions of science Scholars wrote the following clichéd sentence at the end of their works: "Allahu alam bi's-savab." (Allah knows the truth.) Scientific development slowed down or stopped during periods when people claimed they were right, and accelerated during periods when they accepted that they could be wrong Haydar Sur Presentation 12 Scientific Medicine in Islamic Civilization Islam revived the classical culture that had declined in the Middle Ages The reason for this success is that it can adapt to existing cultures and is open to all kinds of ideas For example, as early as VIII. century, Jabir wrote that the universe would tear up the most mysterious veil, that he could create animate and inanimate beings, and that this was at least theoretically possible Islamic science has risen rapidly thanks to scholars who could do research in various languages without being influenced by any religious-official view Haydar Sur Presentation 13 Muslim physicians dominated the world of medical science for 600 years with their writings The city of Jundishapur, which was founded by the Iranian Sassanid ruler Husrev (Shapur I) [241-73] on the road connecting Sus and Hamadan, has been known as the science-art center of the region for a long time Jundishapur, where a large group of artists, scholars and workers in Syria were settled together with the captives during the war in which Shapur I defeated the Roman Emperor Valerian, also became a shelter for the Nestorians who were exiled from Anatolia due to sectarian disagreements at the end of the 5th century Husrev I (Anûshirvan) [531-79] sent a cultural delegation to India and brought many Indian scholars to Jundishapur During the reign of Husrev, Athens' Neoplatonic teachers were accepted from Athens to this city after the academy was closed in 529 A.C. Haydar Sur Presentation 14 Abbasids took Iran under Muslim rule in 638 The Abbasids did not touch scientific institutions in Cundishapur, scientists, especially physicians, were respected by the Abbasid dynasty, physicians trained in Cundishapur served in the palace, and scientists in translation schools Translation Period At the time of the emergence of Islam, there were powerful centers of science and philosophy in the north of Arabia Haydar Sur Presentation 15 Arab armies encountered the scientific legacy of Ancient Egypt and Greek civilization in Alexandria, a developed medical school and hospital in Jundishapur, and in Alexandria, a major science and research center In addition, Antakya and Edessa (Urfa) were also important science centers Translations of books from Greek to Pahlavi (ancient Persian), which started before Islam in Jundishapur, Alexandria and Edessa, continued, albeit sporadically, from Greek and Pahlavi to Arabic during the Umayyad period [661-750] Haydar Sur Presentation 16 The main translation period started with Beytül Hikme in the early years of the Abbasid state [750-860] Bayt al-Hikma, created by Caliph Mansûr [754-74], attained a large space and regular functioning during the time of his grandson, Harun er- Rashid [786-809] During the Ma'mûn period [813-33], it became an academy with the addition of an observatory and the expansion of its fields of interest The number of books collected in Beytü'l-Hikme reached a level that cannot be compared anywhere else in the medieval World Beytü'l-Hikme later disappeared, leaving its place to dâru'l-ilm/dâru'l- kutubs established in Mosul, Bust, Basra, Baghdad, Shiraz, Rey, Cairo and Kayravdian Hunayn bin Ishaq reports that Galenus traveled to Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Egypt for his book on the pulse, and finally found it in Damascus. Collected works, Hunayn bin Ishaq [d. 873], his son Ishaq bin Hunayn, al- Kindi [d. 870], Thabit bin Kurra and Kosta bin Luke [d. 912] translated by people who know Arabic-Greek-Syriac very well Haydar Sur Presentation 17 Translators were paid by the weight of the books Those who wrote on thick paper and large letters to make it heavy were complained by the treasury, and the caliph ordered the continuation by saying "the treasure does not become poor with what is spent in the way of science" During this period of 200 years, Greeks such as Hippocrates, Galenus, Rufus of Ephesus, Dioskorides, Oribasius; The works of Indian physicians such as Susruta, Caraka, Vagbhata, Zantâh and Canakya were translated into Arabic 64 works of Galenus, 13 of Hippocrates and 20 of Rufus of Ephesus were translated and the loss of ancient medicine books was prevented Muslim physicians, who assimilated the medical heritage of antiquity, created original works by adding their experiences, observations, knowledge and experience to those in the books, and became the leaders of medicine in the East and West for 600 years during the Middle Ages with the medical education they gave in the health institutions they established Full-time translators were paid 500 dinars a month, and this high salary attracted the great talent of the time Haydar Sur Presentation 18 The most developed of the darüşşifas was in Jundishapur in the middle of the 5th century As a synthesis of the medical knowledge of Indian, Greek and Iranian physicians, the hospital represented the modern understanding of medicine of its time Muslims, who knew the hospital in Jundishapur during the establishment period of Islamic civilization, during the conquest of Iran, adopted it as an exemplary institution and established and developed a similar one in many cities. The first fully-organized Islamic hospital established in Baghdad around 800 by Harun er-Rashid This hospital set an example for other hospitals to be established in Baghdad and other major Islamic cities From Andalusia to India, many hospitals were established in the Umayyad, Abbasid, Seljuk, Mamluk, İlhanlı, Timurid, Akkoyunlu and Ottoman countries between the centuries Haydar Sur Presentation 19 Damascus Nureddin Hospital It is the oldest hospital that has survived in its original form It was built with a ransom received in exchange for the release of the Frankish king, who was captured by Nureddin Mahmud Zengi There is a pool in the middle, 4 iwans around, patient rooms, toilets and bathrooms. Medical education was also provided in this hospital, which is managed with foundation revenues, with a monthly cost of approximately 450 dinars, where the chief physician, assistant physicians and 211 History of Medicine administrative personnel work. Meals of the patients were obtained from the adjacent soup kitchen. XVII. Evliya Çelebi, who visited the hospital in the 19th century, noted that it had 70 personnel, the beds were cleaned, and the patients were made to listen to music 3 times a day. Europe recognized these hospitals during the Crusades through Sicily and Andalusia. It has started to establish similar ones since the 19th century Young people who are keen on medicine were brought up by taking courses in hospitals, madrasahs or the homes of great physicians, traveling from city to city, practicing in well-known hospitals of the country, or reading certain books of great physicians Education in hospitals was carried out in the form of practical training at the bedside and theoretical training in the classroom, as it is today Haydar Sur Presentation 20 The First Revalidation In the Abbasid period, after a patient died due to a physician's error, the caliph Muqtadir ordered that 860 physicians in Baghdad be tested and that the successful ones be given medical certificates Sinan bin Thabit was appointed to this task The fact that the profession of medicine was bound to certain rules and that the candidates were tested became official with this edict, and the practice became widespread with the proliferation of hospitals over time Haydar Sur Presentation 21 The First Epicrisis [1190’s] Ayyubid scientists Abdurrahman b. Nasr al-Shayzeri [d. 1193] provides information on the inspection and testing of physicians and pharmacists He records that the physician asked questions to the patient, determined the state of his pulse, wrote a prescription showing the composition of the drugs he gave, and gave the report containing the patient's complaints and his own findings to the patient's relatives If the patient dies, if it is thought that there was negligence or fault in the treatment, this report would be examined by the most qualified physician in the region, and if found to be wrong, the physician would be sentenced to pay compensation Physicians were deciding whether a person could practice the art of medicine It was predetermined from which books physicians would be tested Those who passed the exam promised that they would work honestly by saying the Islamic version of the Hippocrates oath, Kitâbü'l-Ahd Hekim hastaya sorular soruyor, nabzını değerlendiriyor, verdiği ilaçların terkibini gösteren bir reçete yazıyor, hastanın aktardığı şikayetleri ve kendi bulgularını ihtiva eden raporu hastanın yakınlarına veriyordu Bu rapor hastaya taburcu olurken verilen epikriz’in ilk örneğidir Haydar Sur Presentation 22 DOCTORS AND THEIR WORKS There was no medicine, Hippocrates found it He was dead, Galen resurrected He was blind, Hunayn bin Ishaq opened his eyes Razi collected his mess Avicenna completed and matured his deficiencies. Haydar Sur Presentation 23 Physicians in Islamic civilization and their works have an important place in the history of medicine Some provisions are made about the nationalities of the Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Magian or ethnically Arab, Iranian and Turkish physicians who lived in the vast Islamic geography All of them wrote their works in Arabic (science language), since the ummah understanding was dominant in this period Thus, it is difficult to make a definitive judgment Haydar Sur Presentation 24 Ali bin Rabben et-Tabarî [d. after 861] Tabari, the son of a noble, cultured Christian family, who was one of the clerks of the city of Merv, and was interested in medicine and philosophy, studied natural sciences, medicine, mathematics, philosophy and literature from his father, It is understood from his works that he knows Arabic, Persian and Syriac, and a little bit of Hebrew and Greek He became one of the famous physicians of the period during the time of Caliph Mutawakkil He completed his work Fidevsü'l-Hikme in 850. He converted to Islam in the last years of his life and died in the 860s. Firdevsü'l-Hikme, one of the most important sources of Islamic medicine, contains rich information about Indian, Greek, Iranian and Arabic medicine, as well as Tabari's personal observations. He served as a source for many physicians, notably Ali bin Abbas al-Macûsî, Ebûbekir er-Râzî and İbn Sînâ.

Books translated by Hunayn on the anatomy of the eye made ancient Greek medicine accessible to all Arabic- speaking scientific circles and helped with Arabic medical terminology For example, in his bibliography of Galenus (Risâletü Hunayn.. fî Zikri mâ Türcime min Kutubi Câlînûs bi-'İlmihî ve Ba'zî mâ lem Yutercem), it is clear that Galenus's works, for whom he was translated, and the role of his students and his students in the translation Haydar Sur Presentation 28 The son-İshâk bin Hunayn [830-910] He received his education largely from Hunayn bin Ishaq in Baghdad, in an environment of intensive translation work, and learned Greek, Syriac and Persian He gained his reputation with his achievements in the field of translation; With his knowledge, culture, literary taste and distinguished personality, he won the friendship of the caliphs and viziers and worked as a palace physician Târîhu'l-Etibbâ ve'l-Felâsife, Kitâbu'l-Edviyet'lMüfrede 'ale'l-Hurûf, Ma'rifetü'l-Bevl, include the biographies of Ancient Greek physicians Kitâbu'l-Künnaşi'l-Latif, al-Muhtasar fî'tTıb, el-Edviyetü'l- Mevcûde bi-Külli Mekân, Kitâbu't-Tiryâk are other important works Haydar Sur Presentation 29 EbuAbu Bakr Er-Razi [865-925] He was born in Rey, which is 12 km from Tehran After studying philosophy, mathematics, astronomy and literature until the age of 20, he became interested in medicine at a relatively late age, becoming one of the greatest physicians in the history of medicine He managed the Rey and Baghdad hospitals, engaged in philosophy and chemistry apart from medicine, and wrote important works in these fields A physician with a sense of profession and responsibility, assistant of the helpless, teacher, trainer of the well-trained physician generation, an encyclopedic clinician who developed the multi-faceted knowledge of previous physicians he collected, a thoughtful observer, an independent chemistry researcher, experimenter, a person who organized and presented the medical knowledge of his period. systematist Haydar Sur Presentation 30 Razî’s Works He wrote more than 200 treatises and books, most of which belong to medicine Kitâbu'l-Havî: There are 25 volumes, which was completed in 15 years, this is one of the most important original medical works of the Middle Ages, it contains the literature on Greek, Indian, Syriac and Islamic medicine, as well as the knowledge and experience he gained at the bedside for a lifetime, it was translated into Latin in 1279, 1486' It was also published and used as a textbook in European medical faculties for a long time Kitâbu'l-Cüderî ve'l-Hasbe: The first work written about smallpox and measles diseases, in this small work, the symptoms of the smallpox in the skin, eyes, ears, throat and joints were systematically presented, revealed the differences between measles and smallpox, and the diet and its cure, translated into Latin, English, German and French, more than 40 editions published in Europe between 1498-1866 Kitâbu'l-Mansûrî: This 10-part work, which he presented to the Khorasan governor Mansûr bin Ishaq, is a summary of the medical knowledge up to that time.
