TibbOnto: Knowledge Representation of Prophet Medicine (Tibb Al-Nabawi)

The Quran and Hadith are the two fundamental sources of Islamic legislation. Hadith are narrations passed from Prophet companions regarding the words and deeds of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Hadith books contain topics related to all aspects of Muslim life. In this paper, we build a domain-specific ontology (Tibb Al-Nabawi ontology) to present the Prophet's medicine in a semantic ontological representation. Our source of knowledge is based on an authentic Tibb Al-Nabawi Hadith. We have identified the main classes and the relationship among them. The proposed ontology can be extended in the future to automatically generate treatments for specific diseases according to the Prophet's actions.
