The medical advances of the Islamic Golden Age played a crucial role in the history of medicine, influencing both medical science in Europe and elsewhere. This period, which extends approximately from the 8th to the 14th century, saw Muslim doctors produce significant research work, establish modern hospitals, and contribute to major medical innovations.

The Islamic Golden Age (8th-14th century) was a pivotal period for medicine, marked by figures such as Al-Razi and Avicenna. The Qur'an emphasizes the importance of health and body care, as Surah Al-Baqarah (2:195) emphasizes: "And do good, for Allah loves the beneficent."Al-Razi developed innovative diagnostic methods and wrote influential medical treatises. Avicenna, with The Canon of Medicine, combined Greek and Islamic medicine, becoming a reference in Europe until the 17th century. These contributions have profoundly shaped modern medicine (Pormann & Savage-Smith, 2007).
