The Islamic Guideline on Medicine provides a comprehensive framework for understanding health, treatment, and healing in light of Islamic teachings. Islam emphasizes that the body is an amanah (trust) from Allah, and taking care of it is part of worship. According to the Qur’an and Sunnah, seeking treatment is permissible, provided it does not involve haram (forbidden) elements. The Islamic Guideline on Medicine also encourages preventive healthcare, cleanliness, balanced diet, and reliance on both spiritual and physical remedies. Scholars have highlighted that medicine should never contradict faith, and any treatment must align with Shariah principles. By combining ethical values with medical practice, Islam promotes a holistic approach to well-being, ensuring that both physical and spiritual health are maintained.
