Public health and its concept in Islam

*** Health is one of God’s many blessings upon us, which enables man to live a normal life, and enables him to listen in his life, so man must maintain his health, by staying away from all influences that cause harm and damage to his health **

We want to point out at the outset about the concept of health in Islam?!

Health is defined in Islam as a human necessity and a basic need for each of us; It is not a luxury or a luxury, and the concept of health includes maintaining the safety of humans from diseases, their causes, and prevention from them; For this reason, Islam established general rules to prevent harm to human health and to preserve his life.
health blessing:
Health is one of the blessings that God Almighty bestowed upon His servants. On the authority of Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with him, he said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: (((Two blessings in which many people waste, health and free time)).
It is clear from the hadith that health and emptiness are among the greatest blessings of God upon His servants, but despite the blessing of health, many do not pay attention to this blessing except when sick.

Islam and health?
Islam takes care of health; Islam is keen on the safety of the bodies in which the veins of health and well-being flow. Islam fought disease and called for treatment. It created various methods for the prevention of diseases and established quarantine rules when the disease appeared in a place, where it was forbidden to go out or enter it until the area of the disease is limited, so Islam calls Cleanliness, health and beauty are the foundations for every Muslim.

Curative methods and ways to prevent diseases?!

The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, urged the treatment of diseases and in the honorable hadith: (O Messenger of God, do we not seek medicine? He said: Yes, O servants of God, seek treatment, for God has not created a disease without appointing a cure or a remedy for it except for one disease. They said: O Messenger of God, what is it? Al-Haram) [Sahih Al-Tirmidhi]

The approach of Islamic law in
Achieving health protection?
The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, urged Muslims to follow certain behaviors in life to prevent diseases and epidemics from them. Except that an epidemic descends in it, and in a narration: For in the year there is a day when an epidemic descends) [Sahih Muslim]
