For several centuries, the world, and particularly Europe has benefited from the great contributions brought about by Muslim physicians in the field of medicine. These contributions were not only based on technical skills but also on the role of eminent Muslim physicians in establishing medical ethics. Many prominent physicians of the Islamic civilization involved themselves with professional ethics; among them were al-Ruhawi, and al-Razi (Rhazes). Both wrote the earliest and most thorough books on medical ethics over a thousand years ago.1,2 Islamic medical ethics refers to Islamic guidance on ethical or moral issues relating to medical and scientific fields, in particular, those dealing with human life. Islamic bioethics is an extension of Shari’ah (Islamic law), which is itself based on 2 foundations: The Qur’an (the holy book of all Muslims) and the Sunna (the aspects of Islamic law based on the Prophet Muhammad’s words or acts). The fundamental basis of Islamic bioethics is that all rulings and actions must fall in accordance with Islamic law (Shari’ah).
