The Concept of Medical Treatment and Guidelines for Physicians in Islamic Perspective

In fact, good health is the ultimate end of medicine for everyone through medical treatment. Islam does approve necessary measures to sustain good health. Thus its sustenance senses the subjects to avoid undue pains and sufferings. For this purpose medications and medical treatment is measured as a recognized tool in Islamic law. Therefore, this research paper reveals that numerous Muslim scientists worked on different branches of science,  and hence the Muslim physicians execute one of the most complicated “eye surgery” almost six hundred (600) years earlier than the European physicians. Indeed, it is the Muslim scientists who discovered the ‘force of gravity’, ‘blood circulation’, ‘laws of motion’. Factually, they developed the ‘theory of evolution’, ‘differential and integral mathematics’ and many more in the field of science. Consequently, the words of Campbell in this regard are very important to note that: “the European medical system is Arabian not only in origin but also in its structure”, which signify that “Muslim scientists are directly responsible for the European renaissance”. Resultantly, this paper argues that ‘medical treatment is an obligation if one’s life is in danger’ since preservation and protection of life is one of the primary objectives of Shariah. Although, in extraordinary circumstances, seeking medical treatment is highly encouraged in Islam, and an ill person is supposed to pursue medical treatment because Allah almighty has made both the illness and the cure.

Efficacy of Insecticides for the Control of Onion Thrips Thrips Tabaci Lindeman on Thrips Population

Onion is the major vegetable crop not only in Pakistan but also in other countries of the world. The onion bulb yield lies in the lower level than to other more developed areas of the world. Many reasons rose for this less yield. But the most important among all of them is the attack of pest insects and among insects the onion thrips is the notorious one .In the present study the efficacy of the insecticides i-e Dimethoate, Confidor, Lasenta, Proaxis and Spinosad was determined against thrips to in farmer?s field for two adjacent years. The data was collected before and then after the 24h, 72h, and 7 days of the use of insecticides. The analysis of this data revealed that all of the insecticides reduced thrips population. However, maximum reductions (3-1%) per plant in thrips population and increase in onion bulb yield (33.06t/ha) was attained with Dimethoate 40 EC. Whereas lowest onion thrips population and onion bulb yield (23.7 t/ha) was obtained from control plot where no insecticide was used against thrips. Therefore, the insecticide Dimethoate 40EC can be recommended for the control of onion thrips on onion crop.
