Description :

The Qur'anic Prescription : Unlocking the Secrets to Optimal Health - What are the hidden Qur'anic gems that lead to optimal faith, success, taqwa and overall health?


Allah the Almighty has given us the answers. He has taught us how we eat, drink, sleep, behave and live -- all to maintain perfect balance and harmony. And yet, when we disrupt Allah's balance, we contribute to the global epidemic of lifestyle-based chronic diseases affecting our mind, body, spirit and even the planet.


The latest evidence-based research shows that when we live according to Qur'an and Sunnah, we can optimise our brain and body function, unlocking the secrets to optimal physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual health, and even save the planet.

It’s a must-read for anyone interested in gaining the wisdom of the Qur’an to deal with the dietary and lifestyle challenges of our modern times.”   – Yvonne Maffei, My Halal Kitchen.
