| Summary: | While the saying ‘Health is wealth’ has long been acknowledged, its gravity has been particularly underscored following the global outbreak of the Coronavirus-19 disease (Covid-19), making health our utmost priority. Hence, understanding the way of life of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, known in Islamic scholarship as Fiqh Al-Seerah, is necessary to learn about his healthful lifestyle practices. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the degree of knowledge regarding Fiqh Al-Seerah and the correlation between such knowledge and healthy living practices. Since the study was meant to represent the lifestyle patterns of the students, it was carried out using a sample of respondents from Sultan Ismail Petra International Islamic University College. Using a purposive sample of 49 respondents, the study used a quantitative methodology. The association between the two variables was examined using SPSS 20.0 and existing measures. For the variable “students’ knowledge of Fiqh Al-Seerah,” the mean is 5.240 with a standard deviation of 0.4258, while for the variable "healthy lifestyle,” the mean is 3.5814 with a standard deviation of 0.42027. The Pearson correlation between students’ knowledge of Fiqh Al-Seerah and healthy lifestyle is 0.444, and the p-value for this correlation is 0.003, indicating statistical significance. This highlights the importance of Islamic education, more specifically, the importance of Islamic history. This finding emphasizes the potential contribution of Islamic education to the promotion of holistic well-being since religious knowledge can inspire people to lead healthier lives. |
