Infectious diseases, notably the recent Coronavirus pandemic, have become a major global challenge, claiming millions of lives and continuing to pose a threat today. This research aims to highlight the prophetic approach to preventing infectious diseases and to establish the principles and practices that ensure their prevention. It addresses the lack of knowledge and understanding regarding the scientific and practical guidance found in the purified Prophetic tradition. The research underscores the significance of this issue, examining its impact on individuals and society and clarifying the prophetic warnings and preventive measures. The methodology includes an inductive approach to gather relevant information from the Prophetic tradition and prominent scholarly works on health and a descriptive-analytical approach to analyze texts and extract regulatory principles. Practical examples from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) illustrate these applications. The contribution of this research lies in offering a comprehensive perspective on how the purified Prophetic tradition addresses societal health issues, particularly infectious diseases. The findings emphasize the need for collective efforts to combat infectious diseases and raise awareness about the Prophet's health guidelines, aiming to educate and train individuals to benefit from these teachings.
