Abstract

Protection and promotion of health have collective and environmental concern rather than one ‘own self. For fifty years, WHO (World Health Organization) is practicing all possible means to attain the standard of health for all human being as a basic human right: “Health for All”. Religion is playing a fundamental role for the protection of health, along with other organizations. Islam considers health as fundamental right of every human being and places it at second number after faith. The basic objectives of Islamic law (the protection of faith, life, progeny, property and mind) cannot be achieved without the adequate protection of health. Life, progeny and mind are directly related to health. Islamic viewpoint about health is broader and collective by describing its both aspects; promotion of health and preservation of health.   Health can easily be maintained and promoted through natural Resources in the form of nutritional diet while Health preservation covers personal hygiene, avoiding infectious disease, protective measures against accidental injury, abstaining from all harmful substances. The real worries of the Prophet of Islam concerning public health specifically about dietary plans toward its adherent are stated precisely in the current study. The primary goal of this study is to investigate contemporary human health challenges, particularly those concerning the impact of health on human services and life protection. The study looks into how people behave regarding diet and its importance. Certain predictive prophetic guideline concepts regarding social behaviour related to the diet and nutrition like an aspect of precautions for health promotion are hammered out with its application in current research. That, like recent nutritional studies, is quite compassionate and physically beneficial. The descriptive and interpretive methods are used in the paper, followed by content (text) analysis.
