Abstract

Islamic medicine is a method of diseases healing based on Islamic law by those who are proficient with the treatment performed solely for Allah. For most Muslim countries, the subject is a popular method of healthcare. However, there has not been any comprehensive health program in the form of comprehensive Islamic medicine-based treatment and prevention in any country to date. This proves that Islamic medicine has not been able to come in line with Western health models. To assess the potential for integration between Islamic and modern medicine in Malaysia, this article focuses on the Muslim community's perception of the future prospects of Islamic medicine as a result of the questionnaire analysis. The respondents consisted of 379 patients who visited a total of 70 Islamic medical centers in Malaysia. The study found that respondents' high level of perception towards Islamic alternative treatment prospects. This indicates the sensitivity of the study population to the existence, role and importance of Islamic medicine in Malaysia. The combination of Islamic medicine with the modern medical system is expected to be realized, including the creation of a more powerful medical curriculum. The findings of this study are useful as a guide in understanding the needs of the community in driving the direction of Islamic medicine in Malaysia.
