Islam also puts great emphasis on general health consciousness. Our Prophet (saw) said:” The most important knowledge is religious knowledge which protects the soul, and the knowledge of health which protects the body.”
Muslims should be people who possess a remarkable way of practising healthy living. Islam appreciates and blesses every good thing that brings betterment to life, and dislikes and opposes things that bring destruction. In stressing the importance of distancing oneself from any destruction, Allah (swt) says:” And spend of your substance in the cause of Allah, and make not your own hands contribute to your destruction but do good, for Allah loves those who do good.” (Al-Baqarah: 195).
Muslims have two important duties to carry out: the duty to Allah and the duty to people (family, community, and country). One is spiritual, and the other is worldly. While Allah tells us to prepare for the next world, He also advises us not to neglect our worldly responsibilities. Allah (SWT) said:” Do not neglect your share in this world.” (28: 77)
