Moreover, by providing an appropriate background for Muslim thinkers, they can achieve the highest prosperityin all fields of human knowledge thanks to the revelation, remarks of the holy prophet, and guidelines of the Imams. By writing down and expansion of their thoughts, the thinkers can guide their successors. Muslim scientists have paid special attention to medicine, and achieved the highest prosperity and wisdom in it. Considering humans as the noblest creatures, attempts to preserve health of the body and soul was regarded to be of utmost importance. The holy prophet has many obvious remarks for health preservation and relieving physical and psychological illnesses. These points were collected and published in different books, called “Tib al-nabi.” Moreover, there are many quotations from Imams in the field of medicine and health preservation. Some of these remarks are considered in “Nahj al-Balagha” of Imam Ali and some collections called “Tibb-al Sadegh” and “Tibb-al Reza.” In all these texts, great emphasis has been paid on human dignity and preservation of health and well-being. According to Islamic teachings, great Iranian physicians also have considered these concepts in their writings, and have followed these points.

Abstract
Background and Purpose: The Physicians have always had the most important role in maintaining health, prevention and treatment of disease. Ethical issues are not new topics in medical field and throughout the centuries, many Physicians have attempted to introduce ethical standards based on either religious beliefs or society routines. Current study represents ethical and scientific issues which have been mentioned in Romuz-e Azam, an ancient manuscript written by an Iranian Muslim physician Hakim Mohammad Azam Khan (19th century AD).
Material and methods: In present study, the characteristics of a competent physician were extracted from the preface of Romuz-e Azam, a pharmacopoeia of traditional medicine, and then the findings were compared with related content according to the standards of conventional medical ethics.
Results: Quotes of Prophet Mohammad and the medical anecdotes narrated by Hippocrates, Plato and Galen were mentioned in this book. Ethical implications were introduced through five chapters: (1) Moral issues that a physician has to follow, (2) essential sciences for a physician, (3) the cases that a physician must strive after the acquisition of knowledge, (4) the issues which a physician has to avoid, (5) how to evaluate a physician. This book suggested the desirable aspects of a physician such as mental, religious, age, inward and outward, communication skills and relations between physicians and their colleagues and patients, neatness and hygiene, encouragement to gaining experience through travels and necessity of awareness about other majors such as logic, astronomy, geometry and music. Also in this book it has been studied how to examine physicians scientifically and ethically, hospital standards requirement, identification of new diseases, getting along with patient complaints, correct prescription of medications, prioritization of passengers treatment .
Conclusion: Ethical outlines have many similarities with the Hippocratic Oath. In addition to valuable historical and the current needs of society, considering the implications of the valuable book Romuz-e Azam about medical ethics and reporting such concepts can be used as a perfect model in medical ethics.

Abstract
Medical ethics is a long-lasting and deep-rooted heritage, and its foundations have all human knowledge and the teachings of divine prophets and the lives of sages and physicians, dating back as far as human history. The purpose of the study is to process the historical developments of medical ethics and to take instructive lessons from them. This review study was conducted by referring to a selection of valid and relevant articles. Analyzing the findings, establishing coherence and coordination between them, inferring ethical concepts and clarifying ambiguous cases, has been done with an analytical historiography approach. The severe limitation of resources is one of the factors affecting any type of study in the history of ancient medicine. In the subject of the study, two time periods "Ancient times before the appearance of Zoroaster and writing the Avesta"; and "the rise and fall of the Sassanids until the rise of Islam", has been reviewed. In practice, the desired findings and evidence from the ancient times to the founding period of Jundishapour University, including the activity period of this great civilizational institution to the period before the advent of Islam, were reviewed; and highlights related to moral values and developments, were gathered and, based on the historical periods are presented. Ethics is at the heart of the holy profession of medicine and its cognate and companion, as an ancient knowledge, throughout time and current and as a soul in the body of time, it is always life-giving and still alive and dynamic and playing a role.

Abstract
Ancient medical science is as old as human history and the history of science. Authentic documentation before Avesta is insignificant and there are few prominent scientific and civilizational institutions in the field of medicine before Jundishapur. This study endeavors to analyze the evolution of medicine and specifically Traditional Persian Medicine from the most prominent pre-Islamic civilizational institutions, namely Jundishapor, to the modern era, with an analytical approach, and to decipher the secrets of stagnation and transformation, and with the future research, to suggest the necessary and worthy developments of the present time and the next half century. Analytical historiography was used as the method to conduct this study.
