Last modified: 2025-02-14
Abstract
Degenerative diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease are increasing in Indonesia, primarily due to an imbalanced diet and unhealthy lifestyle. Islam, through the hadiths of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), offers guidance on healthy eating to maintain the trust of bodily health. This study explores the contributions of hadith values to healthy eating patterns to prevent degenerative diseases. A qualitative research method with a descriptive-analytical approach was employed, examining hadith texts from Kutub Tis'ah and modern health literature. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis methods to understand the textual and contextual meanings of the hadith concerning modern health concepts. The findings reveal that the moderation principle, as highlighted in the hadith, prevents overindulgence and promotes a balance between food, drink, and breathing space. These guidelines are relevant for preventing degenerative diseases and strengthening a holistic health approach grounded in religious values. These findings provide significant theoretical contributions to preventive health strategies and emphasize the synergy between religious principles and health sciences.
