Abstract

The integration of Fiqh Psychology in curriculum is a response to the contradiction between the health trends of Malay/Muslim community and what their professed faith preaches. The religious mandate on the importance of personal healthcare has not permeated through. It begs the question of what more can be done from a socio-religious perspective to arrest this health trend, which has both current and long-term implications to the community’s healthcare burden and impact on the national healthcare landscape. This paper attempts to explain this paradox, explores the problem through a series of case reports, highlights the lessons learnt and recommends further steps that can be explored as a community. The objective of the integration is to introduce, mould, remind and enhance the necessary Isla mic attributes to the Malay/Muslim community in Singapore. The methodology involves case examples to highlight how religious views may influence a person’s outcome in healthcare. This is followed by a brief discussion pertaining to the individual tailoring of their possible applications in the curriculum. It is hoped that the integration of Fiqh Psychology in the curriculum not only can provide direction but will also enrich the character of the Malay/Muslim community towards the healthcare in Singapore.
