Free Live Event This Weekend

Learn About the Principles of Islamic Health & Medicine.

Published March 29th, 2009

About the Event

The Blessed Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was sent to teach all humans how to live the optimal life in order that they may draw close to Allah and be in His Divine pleasure forever. His teachings taught us the perfect way to turn everyday aspects of our lives into worship and how to do so optimally. One such aspect was the emphasis he placed on health and well-being.

The unique emphasis on living a balanced healthy life was preserved thereafter by the great scholars of Islam. The great Imam Ash-Shafi'i said:

“After the science which distinguishes between what is halal and what is haram, I know of no science which is more noble than that of medicine.”

It is in this spirit of preserving this aspect of our traditional that we are honored to host a free live event title “The Messenger's Medicine: Principles from the Prophet.” This lecture will be taught by Dr. Rehan Zaidi, a licensed naturopathic physician who specializes in the integration of both conventional and alternative medicine.
