The vision of IIMC has two separate but closely related components: Islamization and legal medicine. Islamisation deals with
putting medicine in an Islamic context in terms of epistemology, values, and attitudes. Legal medicine deals with issues of
application of the Law (fiqh) from a medical perspective.
IIMC has 5 main objectives: (a) introduction of Islamic paradigms and concepts in general as they relate to medicine,
mafahiim Islamiyat fi al Tibb. (b) strengthening faith, iman, through study of Allah's sign in the human body (c) appreciating
and understanding the juridical, fiqh, aspects of health and disease, al fiqh al tibbi. (d) understanding the social issues
in medical practice and research and (e) Professional etiquette, adab al tabiib, from the Islamic perspective.
We feel that IIC helps the future physician prepare for the heavy trust, the amanat of being professionally competent.
He must be highly motivated. He must have personal, professional, intellectual, and spiritual development programs. He must
know the proper etiquette of dealing with patients and colleagues. He also must know and avoid professional malpractice. He
needs to be equipped with leadership and managerial skills to be able to function properly as a head of a medical team.
