Human well-being occupies a central place in Islamic ethical thought. Health as a Human Right in Islam examines the theological, legal, and moral foundations that establish healthcare and bodily integrity as essential human entitlements.
About the Book
Health as a Human Right in Islam analyzes scriptural and juristic sources to demonstrate that preservation of life and well-being constitutes a core objective of Islamic law. The book explains how principles of justice, compassion, and public welfare underpin healthcare responsibilities within society. It discusses prevention, treatment, community care, and equitable access as moral imperatives rather than optional charity. Classical legal frameworks concerning hygiene, nutrition, medical treatment, and public safety are examined alongside contemporary healthcare debates. The text argues that safeguarding physical and mental health reflects broader commitments to dignity and human flourishing. By integrating jurisprudential reasoning with modern human rights discourse, the book demonstrates compatibility between Islamic ethical principles and contemporary discussions of healthcare equity. Structured analysis ensures clarity while maintaining depth.
