Taking advice from a hakeem or physician when using treatments prescribed in the Hadith

Q: Are treatments of various diseases mentioned in hadiths part of wahi? Should we do them or go to a hakeem who has expertise in this field? The Hakeem tells other procedures with the same thing like in hadith cure for pneumonia is mentioned with qustul hind and hakeem also tells a procedure with qustul hind but a different method not the same method told by the prophet.

Showing kindness and dealing justly with non-Muslims

Q: Recent events in Palestine makes us very disturbed as Muslims and human beings. What I have noticed is that not only Muslims around the world but also non-muslims are expressing solidarity and extending their support for Palestine. I would like to ask this question with genuine concern and I hope I do not offend you if I ask.

Should we not treat non Muslims in our lands with fairness and kindness, as we expect them to treat us fairly. In my own country of origin Pakistan, persecution of certain non Muslim groups like Ahmadiyas, Atheists, Hindus, etc. occurs in various form on frequent basis. Are we as Muslims allowed to stand up in support for these non Muslims communities like Ahmadis, Atheists, Hindus, etc. if they are oppressed by our own Muslim brethren?
