“Religion has a strong influence in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Many of the principles of Islam call upon people to look after their health, to avoid health hazards and risks and to raise their standards of hygiene. The Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office of the World Health Organization sought the opinions of a number of eminent Muslim scholars to outline the Islamic rulings on a number of health-related matters. The subject of water and sanitation figures prominently among these, since it has far-reaching effects on personal and community health alike. It is hoped that readers will make use of the rulings they read in this book, try to make the best use of water and avoid any action that may cause pollution and harm to themselves, their families and communities.” –IRIS Abstract.

“Sets out the conclusions reached by experts and legal scholars asked to advise about methods of animal slaughter that are permitted by Islamic law and thus render meat fit for consumption by Muslims. The report responds to the heavy dependence of many Muslim countries on imported meat and the corresponding need to ascertain whether animals have been slaughtered in conformity with Islamic teachings. The report also issues advice about meat consumption for Muslims living in non-Muslim countries. The report opens with a brief description of general principles of animal slaughter prescribed by Islamic law. Section two indicates which methods of slaughter are permissible and which are clearly prohibited. The Islamic ruling on the consumption of meat is covered in section three, which lists meat which is indisputably forbidden, meat considered forbidden by the majority of Muslim jurists, and animals whose meat is unanimously considered fit for consumption. The remaining sections discuss the electrical stunning of animals prior to slaughter, giving particular attention to the questions of whether the animal experiences pain and whether subsequent slaughter conforms with Islamic teachings. The report concludes that animal slaughter following electrical stunning is unquestionably permitted by Islamic law.” –IRIS Abstract.

“Over the last decade, the World Health Organization has advocated primary health care as the proper approach to the attainment of its goal of health for all. All countries have welcomed this approach and have been trying to implement it properly. It is still met, nevertheless, with a number of obstacles which impede the progress of health. The most important of these are; lack of infrastructure and human resources, lack of intersectoral collaboration, lack of community participation, poor management and planning. Our world today is in great need of all initiative to overcome all these obstacles if it truly wants to achieve the goal of health for all. This booklet draws together and interprets teachings, sayings. and laws previously scattered in numerous religious texts. The opening section reviews the Islamic concept of health and presents general guidelines for preserving good health and seeking medical treatment. Section two describes specific principles pertaining to cleanliness and personal hygiene, marriage and family life, care of children, immunization, proper nutrition, consumption of safe food and water, and protection of the environment. Teachings and rulings that encourage health promotion and protection are discussed in section three. The final section shows how the Islamic concepts of solidarity, cooperation, self-sufficiency, and perfection in “civilized behaviour” support the concept of community participation as an essential component of primary health care.” –IRIS Abstract.
