خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْإِنْسَانَ، وَفَضَّلَهُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَخْلُوقَاتِهِ، وَخَلَقَهُ فِي أَحْسَنِ صُورَةٍ وَتَقْوِيمٍ، قَالَ تَعَالَى: ﴿لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ﴾، وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُحَافِظَ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ بِتَلْبِيَةِ حَاجَاتِهِ بِمَا أَحَلَّهُ لَهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَاهْتِمَامُ الْإِسْلَامِ بِحَقِّ الْجَسَدِ دَلِيلٌ جَلِيٌّ عَلَى شُمُولِيَّةِ الدِّينِ الْإِسْلَامِيِّ، وَقَدْ جَاءَتِ الْأَدِلَّةُ الْكَثِيرَةُ الَّتِي تَحُثُّ عَلَى الْمُحَافَظَةِ عَلَى الْجَسَدِ، قَالَ تَعَالَى: ﴿وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ﴾، وَقَدْ شَرَعَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنَ التَّكَالِيفِ وَالْعِبَادَاتِ مَا يَتَنَاسَبُ مَعَ قُدُرَاتِ الْإِنْسَانِ؛ لِيَقُومَ بِالْوَظِيفَةِ الَّتِي خُلِقَ لِأَجْلِهَا، وَهِيَ الْعِبَادَةُ وَعِمَارَةُ الْأَرْضِ.

God Almighty created humanity, favoring us over all other creatures and forming us in the best possible stature. As the Quran states: “We have certainly created man in the best of stature.” God commanded us to preserve our bodies and to fulfill our needs only through what He has permitted. Islam’s concern for the physical body clearly demonstrates the comprehensiveness of the faith. Numerous sources urge the preservation of the body, such as the verse: “And do not throw yourselves with your own hands into destruction.” God has ordained duties and acts of worship that align with human capacity, allowing us to fulfill the purpose for which we were created: to worship God and cultivate the earth.

وَمِنْ حَقِّ الْجَسَدِ عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ أَنْ يَعْتَنِيَ بِطَعَامِهِ وَشَرَابِهِ، فَلَا يَتَنَاوَلَ مَا يُؤْذِيهِ، وَمَا حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَا مَا يَزِيدُ عَنْ حَاجَتِهِ، كَمَا اهْتَمَّ الْإِسْلَامُ بِرَاحَةِ الْجَسَدِ وَأَلَّا يُحَمَّلَ مَا لَا يُطِيقُ حَتَّى وَإِنْ كَانَتْ عِبَادَةً يَتَقَرَّبُ بِهَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى، وَاهْتَمَّ بِنَظَافَةِ الْجَسَدِ وَالْعِنَايَةِ بِهِ مِنْ قَصٍّ وَحَلْقٍ وَتَهْذِيبٍ، وَاسْتِحْمَامٍ وَتَطَيُّبٍ وَإِزَالَةِ نَجَاسَاتٍ، كَمَا نَهَى عَنْ إِرْضَاءِ النَّفْسِ وَإِشْبَاعِ الرَّغَبَاتِ بِالْمَلَذَّاتِ عَلَى حِسَابِ الْجَسَدِ وَصِحَّتِهِ وَإِهْدَارِ قُوَّتِهِ، وَأَمَرَهُ بِالرِّيَاضَةِ؛ لِيَكُونَ بَعِيدًا عَنِ الْهُزَالِ وَالْأَمْرَاضِ فَقَدْ قَالَ: الْمُؤْمِنُ الْقَوِيُّ خَيْرٌ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ الضَّعِيفِ، وَفِي كُلٍّ خَيْرٌ.

One of the rights the body has over a person is to be nourished with wholesome food and drink. One must avoid what is harmful, what God has forbidden, and what exceeds one’s actual needs. Islam also emphasizes physical comfort, teaching that the body should not be burdened beyond its capacity, even in acts of worship intended to draw one closer to God. The faith promotes physical cleanliness and grooming—such as cutting, shaving, trimming, bathing, using perfume, and removing impurities. It forbids indulging the self or pursuing pleasures at the expense of one’s health and vitality. Furthermore, it encourages exercise to avoid frailty and illness, as the Prophet said: “The strong believer is better and more beloved to God than the weak believer, though there is good in both.”
