Abstract healthy life style for the wellness of human beings not only
physically but also mentally and spiritually.
The two main sources of Islamic legislation are the Quran and
Hadith. Hadith are a collection of the sayings and/or deeds of the
Prophet Mohamed. They cover many aspects of Muslim life, one Keywords:
of which is Tibb Al-Nabawi or Prophetic medicine, a category of
hadith that addresses matters of health and well- being. In this
traditional medicine ontology; Hadith ontology; Prophetic
paper, we designed a domain-specific ontology (Tibb-Med-
medicine
Linking-Onto) to link Prophetic medicine with modern medical
practices in a semantic ontological representation.The
Ontology101 methodology was partially adopted while building
the ontology. Our data source was a recent PhD dissertation Reference
published by Dr. Nourah Al-Ghamlas (a Hadith scientist) who
examined a subgroup of Prophetic medicine Hadith, Hadith taken 1. Nourah Al-Ghamlas. Mushkal Hadiths in Prophetic

conditions, treatment or materials used according to Prophetic
medicine, and the corresponding modern medical practices. The
major terms of the ontology were identified as: medical
conditions, treatment, medical material, Hadiths, and modern
biomedical research. We have identified 6 main classes and the
relationships among them along with 65 hadiths as individuals in
the ontology. Using this ontology, we identified the materials and
treatments preserved across the 1400 years’ time span. For
example, honey was recommended 1400 years ago for treating
loose bowels, and nowadays it is used to stop diarrhea. The
Prophet advised his followers to use crepe ginger for the treatment
of sore throat, whereas modern medical research has provided
proof that the extract of this plant can be useful in treating
tuberculosis. The Tibb-Med-Linking-Onto ontology is a starting
point for future inclusion of all 400 Hadith and to make better use
of the ancient concepts of preventive strategies for better health.
It also aims at assisting people searching for a novel therapeutic
approach for the treatment of specific illnesses. The future work
for this ontology includes: 1) further verify and evaluate the
ontology; 2) provide a user-friendly and searchable interface to
present this ontology via a website; 3) fully integrate all 400
Prophetic medicine Hadith into the ontology; 4) extend the linked
biomedical research to a broader health prevention and well-being
domain, as Prophetic medicine covers all preventive medicine and
