Book Review “Infectious Diseases from an Islamic Perspective and A Collection of Short Stories” (Malay Version)

Abstract

Health-related books written in Malay are relatively lacking in the market. Not to mention books that revolves around health and its connection with the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The strength of this book lies in its uniqueness that integrates the knowledge of Naqli (knowledge sourced from the hadith and the Quran) and Aqli (knowledge obtained from rational thought) from different angles. It starts with a short story, followed by easy-to-understand health facts and ends with an Islamic perspective. The way of presentation is simple and not too scientific but full of information can help readers, especially among the general public, to understand infectious diseases, how to treat and prevent them.
