Sehat-e-Jismani

Welcome to the Health and Fitness (Sehat-e-Jismani) Department. Lajna Australia is dedicated to providing opportunities for the community to gain awareness in relation to health and fitness matters and encourage members to become physically active to maintain an improved lifestyle.

Islam places strong emphasis on maintaining physical health and wellbeing. This is reflected in the teachings of the Holy Qur’an, the traditions of the Holy Founder of Islam, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH):

“The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, while there is good in both.”
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ - Sahih Muslim 2664

This reminds us that Islam encourages strength in faith and character, while also recognising the importance of physical health. By caring for the body Allah has given us, we are better able to worship, serve our families and contribute to the community.
