Muqim Arzani

Muhammad Akbar ibn Mir Hajji Muhammad Muqim Arzani also known as Shah Mohammad Arzani Dehlavi was an 18th-century Persian physician in Mughal India.

Arzani was a celebrated Sufi physician of the late 17th and early 18th century. He composed many medical treatises, including the Qarabadin-i Qadiri, a pharmacopoeia written as a tribute to Sayyid Abd al-Qadir of Gilan (d. 1165CE) who was the founder of the Sufi order of which Arzani was a member.

Arzani also wrote a handbook of medicine for beginners (Mofarrah al'gholoob), a commentary on the Qanunchah by Jaghmini (a greatly abbreviated version of The Canon of Medicine by Avicenna); Tibb-i Akbari, composed in 1700CE, which was an expanded version of the Arabic treatise Sharh al-asbab wa-al-‘alamat by Burhan al-Din Nafis ibn ‘Iwad al-Kirmani; a Persian treatise on the illnesses occurring during pregnancy and breast-feeding and the diseases of infants; and Mujarrabat-i Akbari, a formulary of compound remedies.
