The second chapter, then, comes to deal with health and medical

The conclusion asserted the most important results of the study,
the most important of which are:
- Islam brought a revolution to the health and medical
thought, moving it from sorcery, magic and myth to science
and experience.
- The care of the health status of the soldiers and their livestock
had a great deal of interest during the Age of Caliphs and the
Umayyad Period.
- The recommendations and directions of the Caliphs to the
people, during the Age of Caliphs and the Umayyad Period,
regarding hygiene and its importance has led to the
development of health and medical care in the first century
AH.
- The First Century AH witnessed the establishments of many
hospitals and health clinics, which is considered a bright spot
in the history of health and medical care in the Islamic
Civilization.
