Abstract

The Middle Ages on Islam is considered a qualitative transitional stage on the path of the contemporary scientific Arab renaissance. The Arabs have clearly emerged in all the sciences that were known at the time. One of those sciences in which they excelled, they studied ancient and modern, devised new theories and methods in treatment and treatment, separated surgery from medicine, made it stand alone, developed years of anatomy, ophthalmology and paediatrics, built hospitals, and established special instructions that regulate the medicine and pharmacy industry, and set strict conditions for those who practice the profession of medicine and approved Experiment, examination and inspection to reach the most accurate disease cases and other medical topics.What we have mentioned would not have been achieved without the strenuous efforts made by Arab medical scientists and had it not been for the support of officials at the time for them to provide the best medical services to the individual and society. And the sources of the history of Arab medicine are full of evidence on this topic, and the names of the top Arab doctors are still frequenting our ears and their efforts in research and authorship between our hands and the hands of other nations and peoples, and they are important references on an important aspect that has a direct link to human life and its relationship to the conditions of his social and natural environment.The Arab physician Muhdhab al-Din Dakhwar was considered one of the pioneers of medicine at the time of the Ayyubid dynasty, so he contributed a great deal and effort in the medical industry, with its professional, practical and theoretical aspects, which made him occupy a prominent position and lived through the reign of three Ayyubid kings until he reached the position of chief physician in the Levant and Egypt more than once . The presidency of doctors was one of the most important positions at the time, and it was not held by anyone except by order of the Sultan.We have dealt with the personality of Doctor Mohabuddin in a way that is written in paragraphs, and we have relied in this on what is available from information in the sources of medicine and history, and we hope that we have succeeded in what God intended to clarify the image of the man.
