Question

Which concept has the prime importance, and is the back bone of Unani system of medicine:

• A. Afa'al
• B. Mizaj
• C. Az'aa
• D. Arwah

Hint:

In Unani, always link health and treatment back to Mizaj — it is the base of diagnosis and therapy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In the Unani system of medicine, Mizaj or temperament is considered the fundamental concept that underpins all theories and practices.
Mizaj refers to the unique balance of elements and qualities in each individual that determines their physical and mental characteristics.
Maintaining the proper balance of Mizaj is essential for good health and any disturbance in this balance leads to disease.
All diagnosis, treatment, and dietary recommendations in Unani medicine revolve around understanding and correcting the Mizaj.
Afa'al means functions or actions, Az'aa refers to organs, and Arwah means spirits or vital forces — all important, but not the prime backbone.
Therefore, the core concept with the highest importance is Mizaj.
