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.

Eating halal food, brushing teeth, bathing, wearing clean clothes, and not wearing shoes in the house are all part of maintaining a Muslim's cleanliness and health. Even in consuming halal food, he should not overeat, but eat moderately. The Prophet (saw) said:” Be always a little hungry,your stomach should have one-third food, one-third air, and one-third water,” and “kill not your heart with excessive eating.

Muslims should be people who possess a remarkable way of practicing 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).

Allah (SWT) states in the Holy Qur'an through the words of Prophet Shu'aib (AS):” I only desire betterment to the best of my capabilities.” (Hud: 88)

The above verse tells us that Islam develops Muslims to be pious and calls upon them to do good and contribute to the general well-being of mankind and the world.
