Something you Know.

Something you will do.

Something you will stop to do.

These links have been stipulated by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Islam in general. One Hadith showing this is; “There is no disease that Allah has created, except that He has already created its treatment.” This prompts Muslims should seek treatment and health in both physical and mental aspects.

“Truly, Allah loves those who turn unto Him in repentance and loves those who purify themselves (by taking a bath and cleaning and washing thoroughly their private parts, bodies, for their prayers etc.).” (Al-Baqarah 2:222)

Cleanliness in Islam is of three kinds:

1- Ghusl

2- Wudu

4-Tayamum (Dry Ablution)

Furthermore, a Muslim is also required to beautify himself, especially when meeting people as long as he does not exceed the limits of Allah. Allah says: “O Children of Adam! Look to your adornment at every place of worship” (7:31)

Although the spread of diseases and catching diseases can take a physical and mental toll on one's wellbeing. There is generally a cure to help kill any spread of diseases however the only cure not found would be for elderly people.

Even while fighting the enemies of Islam the prophet encouraged his community to stay clean saying

“Had I not been afraid of overburdening my community, I would have ordered them to brush their teeth for every prayer.” [Bukhari]

Moral hygiene was not ignored, either, for the Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) encouraged the Muslims to make a special prayer upon seeing themselves in the mirror

1. Hadith on taking care of one's body: The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, "Take advantage of five matters before five other matters: your youth before you become old; your health before you fall sick; your wealth before you become poor; your free time before you become busy; and your life before your death." (Narrated by Ibn Abbas, Sahih Al-Jami)

This hadith highlights the significance of good health in utilizing one's time effectively for acquiring knowledge. When a person is physically healthy, they are more likely to have the energy, mental clarity, and concentration necessary for learning and acquiring knowledge.

2. Hadith on seeking knowledge: The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, "Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave." (Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi)

This hadith encourages lifelong learning and implies that knowledge acquisition is a continuous process. However, in order to sustain this pursuit, one must maintain good physical health. A healthy body supports an active and agile mind, enabling individuals to engage in the process of seeking knowledge throughout their lives.

Overall, these teachings highlight the complementary relationship between physical health and knowledge acquisition. Good physical health enables individuals to make the most of their time, sustain their learning efforts, and overcome physical obstacles that may impede their intellectual pursuits. By taking care of their bodies, individuals can optimize their ability to seek knowledge and engage in lifelong learning.

Seerah: Physical activities: The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) engaged in various physical activities throughout his life. He participated in physical labor, such as farming and construction, demonstrating his strength and endurance. He also engaged in horse riding, swimming, archery, and wrestling, which indicates his interest in physical activities and sports.

1. Walking and physical movement: The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) often preferred walking over riding. He encouraged his companions to engage in physical movement and walking as a means of exercise and transportation. Walking is a simple yet effective way to maintain physical fitness and overall health.

2. Modest eating habits: The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) encouraged moderation in eating and advised against overindulgence. He emphasized the importance of eating in moderation and maintaining a balanced diet, which contributes to overall physical well-being.

3. Physical strength and resilience: The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) displayed physical strength and resilience in various situations. For example, during battles and expeditions, he actively participated and demonstrated bravery and physical endurance. These incidents highlight the importance of physical strength and resilience in the context of self-defense and protecting the community.
