“Piety and Patienthood in Medieval Islam” published
The book is on the dual subject of Islam and healthcare in the medieval era basically important due to the historical studies and resources used for that.
 
Muslim viewpoint and their experiences in regards to healthcare and their handling of the diseases are among objectives of the book.
 
The origin of Hadiths and experiences of the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) have made a major part of Muslim literature projecting their views on different maladies, medical solutions and also spiritual sanity.
 
The book is written based on the resources available on medical Hadiths by Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and also accessible manuscripts by Muslims on healthcare and patienthood in classical Islam.
 
The book comes in 10 chapters among them: A beau ideal for whosoever hopes for God, from medical prophetic to prophetic medicine, Piety and illness and also Spiritual medicine.
 
The book is called a fascinating insight into the development of Muslim pieties and the traditions of medical practice. It will be of great interest to scholars interested in Islamic Studies, history of religion, history of medicine, science and religion and the history of embodied religious practice, particularly in matters of health and medicine.
 
An abstract on chapter two runs as: “The emphasis in the medical sections of hadith compilations was not on medicine, but rather, on knowledge about the prophet focusing primarily on the illnesses suffered by Muḥammad and his companions with little attention to medical theory or practice. Contemporary to this literature, another prophetics genre emerged where the logic of organization resembled medical texts and where authors were attentive to medical theories, diseases, and cures.”
