Summary
Quran (the holy book), prophetic traditions (sunnah) and Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH) sayings (hadith) are the cornerstone of Islamic knowledge. Jurists and scholars later expanded on these foundations to build Islamic literature, not only about matters of prayers and submission, but also on day-to-day life affairs. Countless traditions and hadith deal with ailments and healing. Books that became a science of their own known as Tibbul-Nabbi; the Medicine of Prophet (PBUH), are based on these writings.
