Chapter 1 The Problem and Its Settings Background of the Study There are no specific codes for medical treatment of physical illnesses in the Qur'an. In Islamic tradition the difference between health and illness was, and still is, perceived as balance and imbalance or the Humoral Theory. Moslems have historically sought the Qur'an as a healing source in times of psychological and spiritual distress. When experiencing physical illness, Moslems have also been open to the rituals and medicinal practices of different traditions, including those of nonMoslems. Contemporary Moslems' approach to health care is still strongly based on preventative measures. In many cases, although Moslem patients seek a curative process through surgical or medical means, they still look to their religious and cultural heritage to address their spiritual, social and cultural needs. Preventative healthcare strategies in Moslem experience include: personal hygiene, dietary measures such as the restriction in eating specific ingredients (such as pork and its by-

These factors include Cultures, Traditions, Community Rules, Beliefs and their Perception about Hospitalization. These factors may affect the Moslems health practices because they have different perception about health.

Omar Kasule, dean of the faculty of medicine of the International Islamic University, Malaysia, defines Islamic medicine as a system of basic paradigms, concepts, values and procedures that conforms to, or do not contradict the Qur'an and prophetic traditions. It is universal and can be defined only in terms of values and ethics, not as specific medical procedures or therapeutic agents. In contrast to contemporary views, disease does not always have a negative connotation in Islam. According to the classical Islamic scholar Imam al-Ghazzali, "illness is one of the forms of experience by which man arrives at knowledge of God." Other Muslim scholars argue that falling ill may be Allah's way of forcing the person to rest or care for the body before it deteriorates further. Both medical practitioners and patients must know the limits of the former's capabilities. From a Muslim point of view, life and death are ultimately derived from God. No human can give life or take death away. As such, medical personnel do not have the privilege of saying anything definitive about future prognosis. Instead, they are obliged to assist the patient to the best of their abilities and leave the rest to Allah.
