Allah TWT says in Quran that “Saulayheen” shall have command on Earth. Most of the scholars have translated “Sualayheen” incorrectly. Actual meaning of “Sualaheen” according to the Arabic lughat (Dictionary) is a people who are competent and proficient or who possess the capability. We, as health professionals, are gifted of being “saulayheen” as are capable of gaining scientific knowledge by carrying out research.

I believe that it is on the shoulders of today’s practicing doctors and teachers, to learn the essential skills necessary to be able to carry out research in an effective clear, methodical and time effective manner. Effective literature review, filling the gap in existing research with new information gained by one’s own research endeavours and its documentation is mandatory to conduct a result-oriented research.
