Abstract

A vital component of human well-being is managing and treating one's health, and Islam, as a whole way of life, offers helpful advice on doing so. Using the Quran, Islam's sacred book, and the Sunnah, the sayings and customs of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), this research paper examines the Islamic viewpoint on health management and treatment to briefly summarize the Islamic perspective on health management systems. The integration of one's physical, mental, and spiritual well-being is stressed in Islam, which sees health as a divine blessing. Islamic dietary recommendations promote the use of nutritious, halal food and the use of moderation when eating. Mental and emotional well-being is enhanced by religious practices like prayer and remembering Allah. In times of illness and suffering, it is advisable to practice patience, endurance, and thankfulness to have a good outlook. It studies the tenets and norms set out in Islamic teachings, emphasizing the value placed on preventative measures, holistic well-being, and the fusion of the physical, mental, and spiritual facets of health. The article also explores the value of obtaining medical attention and the part faith plays in the healing process, illuminating Islam's all-encompassing view of health therapy and the part religion plays.
