Healthy Living Behavior Models in Islam and Covid-19 Pandemic using AHP

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has swept the globe. Understanding the model of healthy living behavior is critical for virus prevention. The purpose of this research is to develop a model of healthy living behavior based on Islamic teachings and to organize priority levels based on Islamic healthy living behavior. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is used in this study to determine the ranking or priority of the model by comparing the objectives based on the collective opinion of health experts. Data are gathered through literature reviews, interviews, and questionnaires. The ranking of lifestyle models is based on four specialist doctors’ opinions, and the respondents who live healthy lifestyles are 34 administrators of the Bandung campus mosque. According to the study’s findings, a healthy life model based on Islamic teachings includes a healthy body, a healthy soul, and guaranteed sustenance. The order of Islamic healthy behavior and values based on AHP is as follows: No Overeating for 68.18%; Reading the Qur’an for 8.15%; Giving alms for 6.98%; Repent and purify oneself for 5.61%; Fasting for 4.99%; Tahajjud Prayer for 4.49%; Friendship for 0.83%; Drinking honey for 0.44%; and Duha prayer for 0.33%.
