SUMMARY

Health promotion, in our analysis, appears to be as much a Western concept as one that is supported by Quranic texts (the Holy Word itself as well as the Sunnah). This insight may contribute to the further development of health promotion in both multi-cultural Western nations as well as Islamic nations themselves. In Western nations and settings this could be achieved through a process called ‘interculturalization’.

Key words: concepts; health promotion; interculturalization; Islam
