Prophetic Healing:

How to Achieve Vibrant, Holistic Health Using the Best of Prophet Muhammad’s Guidance and Modern Science.

While modern medicine has made tremendous advances, it has over relied on drugs and symptom management without sufficiently addressing the root causes of chronic illness. These causes include dietary, mental, social, lifestyle, environmental and spiritual factors.

This book offers a practical and engaging resource to improve holistic health using the best of Prophet Muhammad’s guidance and modern medicine. Prophet Muhammad’s guidance on healing was unique because it conferred spiritual, mental and physical benefits.

The author beautifully advocates the necessity of implementing this legacy by practicing “integrative healing” to achieve the best of both the modern and the traditional.
