It extends to the human being and contributes to his physical and mental health and well-being. This question is: How does the Qur’an heal? and how does it promote health and well-being? The Qur’an achieves its healing and health promoting effect by utilizing three different approaches: the legal approach, the guiding approach, and the direct healing approach. The legal approach is through the provision of legislation prohibiting matters which are hazardous to health and enjoining matters which promote health. This legislation has a direct impact on the health of the individual. The guiding approach is through the provision of general rules and regulations which guide the individual in the conduct of his or her daily affairs. This guidance has an indirect positive effect on the health and wellbeing of the individual. The third approach is through the direct healing effect of the Qur’an on the various organs of the human body. The first two approaches, the legislation and guidance have been very much known and well understood for years, although some new discoveries have added an exciting twist in our understanding in these areas.
