Picture
On February 20, 2020, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mohamad Haniki Nik Mohamed delivered a lecture, “Pharmaceutical Care for Muslim Patients,” at the Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy, Shenandoah University. The lecture was attended by about 40 students and faculty, while another 20 joined via videolink from the Fairfax Campus of Shenandoah University.

He spoke about the philosophy of Muslim treatment, stressing the Muslim belief that it is God who heals. Human efforts are needed but they are only a means to this objective. He cited the hadith (Prophetic saying): “There is no disease that God has created, except that He has also created its treatment.”
 
Prof. Haniki classified medicine into modern and traditional Modern medicine is based on clinical research findings and statistical analyses, among other things. Traditional medicine includes acupuncture, herbal therapy, massage, chiropractic, energy therapy, and spiritual medicine, of which Islamic medicine is a part.
 
The lecture than shifted to explaining permissible (halal) and forbidden (haram) ingredients used in modern pharmaceuticals. He also introduced the concept of the higher objectives of Islamic law (maqasid al-Shari’ah) and how it related to medical and pharmaceutical care. Finally, Prof. Haniki explained some essential Islamic practices and the need for cultural competency among healthcare providers.
 
The lecture was followed by a vigorous Q&A session. Faculty and students asked questions on halal ingredients in medicine, as well as newer forms of treatment and what is Islamic position on these. CICW sponsored the lecture by providing lunch for all the attendees.
