Oath of a Muslim Physician

Untitled design (31)

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

 Praise be to Allah, the Sustainer of His Creation, the All-Knowing. Glory be to Him, the Eternal, the All-Pervading. I serve none but Thee, and as the Instrument of Thy Will, I commit myself to Thee. I render this Oath in The Holy name and I undertake:

 

 To be the Instrument of Thy Will and Mercy, and, in all humbleness, to exercise justice, love and compassion for all Thy Creation;


To extend my hand of service to one and all, to the rich and to the poor, to friend and foe alike, regardless of race, religion or colour;


To hold human life as precious and sacred, and to protect and honour it at all times and under all circumstances in accordance with Thy Law;


To do my utmost to alleviate pain and misery, and to comfort and counsel human beings in sickness and in anxiety;


To respect the confidence and guard the secrets of all my patients;


To maintain the dignity of health care, and to honour the teachers, students, and members of my profession;


To strive in the pursuit of knowledge in Thy name for the benefit of mankind, and to uphold human honour and dignity;


To acquire the courage to admit my mistakes, mend my ways and to forgive the wrongs of others;


To be ever-conscious of my duty to Allah and His Messenger (s.a.w.) and to follow the precepts of Islam in private and in public.

 

O Allah, grant me strength, patience and dedication to adhere to this Oath at all times.
