Abstract

A number of medical celebrities of that era were members of the al-Abad Christian family, whose valuable services and works in medical sciences and other sciences undoubtedly had a tremendous impact on Islamic lands and even Europe. The purpose of this study is to introduce the physicians of that family and review their services to medical knowledge in Islamic civilization. Although domestic and foreign researchers have done research on some of the famous members of this family so far, the present study can in turn obvious some of the researchers' mental unknowns about this family.
Methods: This research has been done with a historical approach based on collecting information in a library manner. The research method of this article is descriptive-analytical in such a way that after filing historical sources and references, content has been classified, data analyzed and the article has been written.
Ethical Considerations: In the current research, the ethical aspects of library study, including the authenticity of texts, honesty and trustworthiness, have been observed.
Results: Studies show that medical knowledge has a high status among the Al-Ebad family. Abu Ishaq, the elder of the Al-Abad family, was engaged in the profession of pharmacy and medicine by establishing a pharmacy and a medical center in the city of Hirah. By encouraging his children and grandchildren to continue in this profession, he has encouraged them to practice pharmacy, study medicine and compile and translate medical works.
Conclusion: The results of the research show that from the womb of al-Ebad family, prominent physicians have emerged who have important characteristics and advantages such as mastery of Greek, Syriac, Arabic and Persian languages, interested in research, writing, translation and practical experiments in medicine have been. Most of the doctors of the Al-Ebad family were proficient in general medical knowledge and were also skilled in ophthalmology and usually followed medical ethics.
