A Comparative Study of the Islamic Concept of Healing and Modern Systems of Medicine (In the Context of Homeopathy, Electropathy, and Allopathy)

Abstract

This research paper explores a comparative analysis of the Islamic concept of healing and modern systems of medicine, particularly Homeopathy, Electropathy, and Allopathy. The study examines how each system understands the nature of disease, the source of healing, and the ethical foundations of medical practice. In Islam, healing (Shifāʾ) is viewed as a divine blessing, integrating the physical, spiritual, and moral dimensions of human well-being, as emphasized in the Qur’an and Sunnah. Conversely, modern medical systems approach healing through scientific, biological, and energetic frameworks: Homeopathy operates on the principle of “like cures like,” Electropathy focuses on balancing the body’s bioelectric forces, and Allopathy relies on pharmacological and surgical interventions supported by empirical evidence. By comparing these paradigms, the study highlights that the Islamic philosophy of healing provides a holistic, God-centered, and ethically grounded framework that complements modern therapeutic systems. The integration of spiritual consciousness with scientific medicine offers a balanced model for achieving both physical health and spiritual harmony.
