أثر الإيمان في حفظ الصّحّة من منظور القرآن الكريم: دراسة موضوعية تحليلية

Abstract

While the progress of human life and scientific advancements bring numerous advantages and gains, there is often a neglect of inner care and beliefs, leading to a separation of faith from its tangible effects. This separation causes individuals to approach their problems in a superficial manner, missing out on the most crucial factor in attaining a well-balanced and fulfilling life. One key aspect of a good life is overall wellness, encompassing both mental and physical health. Self-preservation, which includes the preservation of health, is considered one of the five fundamental purposes of Sharia. This study aims to shed light on the close relationship between faith fulfillment and the preservation of human health. To achieve this objective, the research employs an inductive-deductive method, exploring texts, evidence, and the perspectives of Islamic scholars. It also incorporates insights from medical science. The study yields several findings that affirm the comprehensive nature of faith, encompassing both beliefs and behaviors, as the path to a good life that encompasses wellness and a healthy lifestyle. Additionally, it concludes that monotheism and the six pillars of faith, which include belief in one God, His angels, His books, His messengers, the afterlife, and destiny with its good and bad, have a direct impact on preserving human health. Furthermore, the study acknowledges that God's decree may afflict an individual despite their strong faith and despite being provided with all the means for well-being. However, this does not contradict the fact that wellness encompasses the well-being of both the soul and the body. Finding contentment with God's will and destiny is one of the primary reasons for inner tranquility, and the health of the soul is consistently manifested in the health of the body.
