Abstract

Public culture, with its many elements, is inextricably intertwined with human life and public culture. Great poets and writers, in various forms, consciously and unconsciously, use elements of popular culture to create images or convey their thoughts and goals to readers. Naqshbandi Heart Medicine is a treatise that contains valuable and rich content in medicine and medicine. In this book, there are many medical terms: the names of medicines, various references to old medical principles, the names of diseases, and so on. Naqshbandi used these terms in most cases as a metaphor to express his moral and mystical message, but he did not mean to teach medical rules. The careful use and expression of these terms shows that the author was familiar with the science of medicine, so that if one is not familiar with these terms, one will have difficulty in understanding and expressing some of the contents. Even in our time, there are still some of these beliefs in medicine. Naqshbandi has also made extensive use of popular beliefs in medicine and the treatment of diseases. In this research, with an analytical-descriptive method and by referring to the theoretical sources of research, an attempt has been made to analyze some of the popular beliefs of the book of Healing Medicine based on the sources and sources of traditional medicine.
