Alternative Islamic medicine is not a foreign matter in Malaysian community. In fact, it even gets a place and attention in the community regardless of age. In line with that, the government has taken an initiative to transform the service sector such as private healthcare. This has been the agenda stated in the Eleventh Malaysia Plan 2016-2020. The main objective of this study is to identify on the issues and challenges of Islamic medicine as an alternative medicine. The methods used in this study are review of literature, documentation, and observation to collect the relevant information and data. Through this method, it shows that the issues and challenges occur as the students are lacking in terms of exposure towards the knowledge of Islamic medicine, and the influence of surrounding environment which makes them vulnerable to the treatment that looks like Shariah-compliant while the fact that it actually violates the Maqasid Al-Shariah and Islamic law. Students are advised to put an effort to learn a little bit about the basis of Islamic medical knowledge because as humans, we could not run away from being tested with pain. Armed with the basis of proper medical knowledge can prevent students from being influenced by things that can spoil their beliefs and practices.
