Abstract: (4594 Views)
This paper aims at briefly specifying an analytical approach for the
understanding of diet and nutrition in Islam and its effects on the promotion
of health within the society. The Qur'an and other Islamic literature on
Hadiths (Traditions), Figh (Jurisprudence) and traditional medicine are
studied.
The specifications of the Islamic food, the significance of the use of a diet
compatible with the nature of the human body, manners of fostering hygienic
principles, and ways and means of improving nutrition in the society are duly
elaborated.
The study further verifies that Islam has an independent approach
towards nutrition, which is based on social and economic justice. It also
shows that people should have equal opportunities to acquire a sufficient and
legitimate amount of food for subsistence.
The study also concludes that the world oppressors are the ones who
have brought about poverty and starvation to a large number of humans in
the world. One of the most important responsibilities of Muslims and the
Islamic States is to eradicate such an oppression.
