Teamwork in Islam: A model for the Health Professions

Abstract

The first Muslim team on earth is that of Adam and Hauwau (Eve). Such team populated the earth giving rise to several communities and teams. Examples of historical teams noted in the glorious Quran were that of Moses and Aaron, the story of Dhul Qarnayn, the father-son relationship of Ibrahim and Ismail which ended up building the Ka`bah. The achievements of these historical teams emphasized the uniqueness of all believers to honor and fulfill the duty of ‘holding on to the rope of Allah together.
