SUMMARY OF THE RESEARCHES Dr, Ghalioungui is considered one of the pioneers of those who practised and cared for the heritage of Islamic Medicine in general, and Ibn Al-Nafees in particular; he delivered many lectures in this domain, and wrote a book about Ibn Al-Nafees. In this paper he refuted all the claims of the Westerners about the discovery of the small blood circulation by William Harvy and Sirfanos; he proves how Ibn Al-Nafees preceded them to this important discovery hundreds of years before them, reinforcing his defense with documents, evidences and reasons. Dr. Abd El- Kareem Shehada joined him and obtained his Doctoral Degree on this virtuous scientist (Ibn Al-Nafees) after he wrote about part of his life, his different works, his achievements -in science in general, and in medicine in particular. Then Dr. Sulaiman Qataya came to refute the claims of the West - that Ibn Al-Nafees did not practice surgery - and mentioned in his book "Explaining the surgery of the law"; a book of criticism of the book of surgery by Ibn Al-Nafees. Ibn Al-Nafees would not have been able to write a book about surgery without practicing it himself. Dr. Qataya compared what Ibn Al-Nafees wrote in his book and what he found, and how Ibn Al-Nafees described the heart very accurately; and this can never happen without practical study, thus he refuted the claims of the first group who claimed that Ibn Al-Nafees did not practice surgery, and the second group who claimed that he only practiced surgery on animals, not human beings. Dr. Albert Zaki Iskandar talked about Ibn Al-Nafees, then about the most important book he wrote; "The comprehensive book of practicing medicine", and quoted examples from that book about the duties of both the patient, the physician and the nurse; before, during and after the operation. Dr. Abu-Shady Al-Rouby talked about Ibn Al-Nafees, the philosopher, and compared his complete message |

about the biography of the Prophet (SIRA NABAWIYA), with Hay Ibn Yakzan by Ibn Sina and the message of Ibn Tofail, and showed the harmony between philosophy and Islamic Law (Sharia), and that Man by his natural instinct, and his meditation can recognize the existence of the Lord, and to know for sure that His messengers were sent by Him to guide His creatures. The complete message of Ibn Al-Nafees is characterized by his prediction of the future of the Islamic nation. Then the forum was opened for comments and discussion on these trends. |
