Introduction to Unani Scholars: Hakim Mohammad Akbar Arzani !
As the countdown begins to #World Unani Day 2026, we remember Heros of Unani Medicine, today we remember great Unani Scholar Hakim Mohammad Akbar Arzani (1658-1722).
Behind the medicine we use today are the legends who made it accessible to the world. Today, we honor one of the most student-friendly and influential figures in Unani history—Hakim Mohammad Akbar Arzani.
Living during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, Hakim Arzani was a master at simplifying the “complex.” He took deep Arabic medical secrets and translated them into clear, easy-to-understand Persian, ensuring that the art of healing reached every home and clinic.
📚 The Masterpieces of Hakim Arzani:
Tibb-e-Akbari (طب اکبری): His most famous work. A complete medical guide covering diseases from head to toe. It remains a “must-read” for every serious Tabeeb.
Mizan-ut-Tibb (میزان الطب ): The “First Lesson” for every student! This book explains the core principles of Unani (like the 4 Humors/Akhlat) in the simplest way possible.
Qarabadin-e-Qadri (قرابادین قادری ): A treasure chest of compound medicines. It contains hundreds of formulas and recipes that he perfected throughout his life.
Mufarrih-ul-Quloob (مفرح القلوب ): A deep dive into medical philosophy, making the “how” and “why” of the human body easy to visualize.
Hudud-ul-Amraz (حدود الامراض ): The ultimate guide to diagnosis, helping doctors define and identify diseases accurately.
💡 Why We Remember Him Today:
Hakim Arzani believed that knowledge is useless if it cannot be understood. By humanizing medical science, he paved the way for generations of healers to practice Unani Tibb with precision and compassion.
