The backbone of Unani system is the concept of temperament (Mizāj). Equilibrium in Mizāj is essential for a healthy body. Mizāj of the body depends upon the Surat-e-Nau‘iyah of that body. Change in Surat-e-Nau‘iyah leads to change in Mizāj of the body. Surat-e-Nau‘iyah is a logical concept given by ancient scholars which in fact, describes how a single substance or compound come into existence. This concept depicts how the structure of anything has been formed. In ancient times, most of the concepts of Unani system were based on Mantiq (Logic) and Falsafa (Philosophies). The definitions and concepts in Unani system were originated long time ago. These definitions require re-evaluation with modern perspective. One such topic is Surat-e-Nau‘iyah. It is one of the important and basic terms in Unani system which requires explanation in the light of modern science. This is an attempt to know more about Surat-e- Nau‘iyah in terms of Unani classical literature and its explanation in modern scenario as well.
