10 Distinguishing Characteristics of a Muslim Doctor
Posted by admin | Filed under Manners
There are certain traits and characteristics that distinguish a Muslim doctor from others. These traits affect his way of treatment and dealing with his patients as a whole and must be sought after by every Muslim doctor, nurse or practitioner.
I will list 10 of these Must Have characteristics in this article and then InshAllah (God-willing) expound upon them one by one in my later posts. So lets begin..
1. Intention and seeking reward from Allah alone.
2. Honesty and proficiency in his field of work.
3. ‘Ihsaan’ or trying to seek perfection and understanding ‘Muraqabah’ that Allah is watching over him. We will expound upon these two words later insh’Allah.
4. Purification of the self and ‘Muhasabah’ or taking account of oneself.
5. Constant seeking of knowledge.
6. Good manners and outstanding character:
- Humbleness
- Truthfulness
- Compassion
- Justice
7. Cooperation with others and a love of helping others and wanting good for them.
- Modesty
- Patience and endurance
8. Respecting the rights of the patient.
9. This is particularly an important one: Having knowledge of the fiqh (rulings) of medicine in Islam, in general and especially in the doctor’s particular field of knowledge.
10. Giving each individual his or her rights.
