TRIPLE I-MEDICINE SYMPOSIUM 2007
(Islamic Intellectual Integration)

INTRODUCTION
In order to produce a good Muslim medical practitioner, it is essential to integrate the intellectual superiority with the Islamic principles based on Al-Quran and Sunnah. With regard to that, Persatuan Perubatan Islam Malaysia-Student Chapter IIUM would organize a symposium called "Triple I-Medicine Symposium 2006 (Islamic Intellectual Integration)". The first of its kind was held on the year 2004 with the theme "Da'wah Fardiyyah in Medical Practice". The second was held last year, with the theme "Securing the Lineage" in which the importance of reproductive or women health awareness in securing the wellbeing of the up coming generation was highlighted.

This year, we hope to continue the annual event which we believed is a good platform where muslim medical students from all over the country can gather and exchange ideas on the highlighted issues. As a continuation of the previous symposium, this year another component of the Maqasid Shariah; Securing the `Aql is chosen as the theme. In Islam, the `aql or the mind is a distinguishing feature of mankind from all the other creations of Allah. It can be said to be the most superior possession of human being for the fact that with it we are placed at a higher level than the ever-obedient slaves of Allah, the angels. In medicine, the importance of having a sound mind is made prominent in the field of psychiatry.

Today, more and more people seek treatment for their `aql. Some even became dependent on drugs which they believe is the only solution to have a sound mind. Among the adolescence, especially, drug abuse is seen as the only way for them to relieve their mind from a so-called stressful modern life. It is therefore our responsibility as future medical practitioners to find ways of how to secure the mind of our ummah from this very contagious illness of the jahilliyyah. We hope that with this symposium, we would be able to discuss and learn how we can apply the Islamic teachings in dealing with the psychiatric patients.

In Islam, it is known that the pursuit of knowledge has a double indication Apart from its worldly application, pursuit of knowledge is in itself worship, according to the Quranic guidance. Thus, muslim medical practitioners have far bigger responsibility to not only acquire and apply their modern medical knowledge, but also, they should be in possession of a threshold-knowledge of jurisprudence, worship and essentials of Fiqh enabling them to give counsel to patient seeking guidance about health and bodily conditions with a bearing of the rites of worship. The great advances of a Muslim physician were not just based on technical skill or intellectual superiority. They were equally well founded on a clear understanding of the role of the Muslim physician as derived from Islamic teachings and philosophy. In the previous 2 years since the triple-I symposium was first held, the event had annually exposed its participants to the various issues related to fiqh medicine in daily clinical practice. This year is no exception. Due to the very positive response from participants, the organizing committee had decided to keep the slot in the event. This year, the presentation shall be different and hopefully better, so as to meet the ever increasing expectation of the participants.

1. To introduce the Islamic way of managing psychiatric patients.
