In the history of Islam, knowledge about health has received a lot of attention. In Islam, health is an advantage and a prelude to perfection. On the other hand, the impact of religion on health, especially spiritual and mental health, has been emphasized several times and the importance of health, sanitation, and their impact on the life in this world and afterlife has been frequently mentioned. It should be noted that the purpose of materialistic and spiritual health is not the health itself. Rather, there is a much sublime objective; that is, all dimensions of health should be used to move toward divine satisfaction.For downloading the full-text of this article please click here.
