Health encompasses the body, the mind, and the
soul. It forms the essential foundation of worship, because without it,
practices such as fasting (Roza), prayer (Salat), and other
virtuous acts become difficult to perform. Allah says in the Holy Qur’an: “Do not throw yourselves into destruction with your own
hands.” (Al-Baqara 2: 196)
This verse establishes a fundamental principle: safeguarding one’s health is not only a personal responsibility but also a spiritual obligation.
