Abstract
The article examines philosophical and spiritual ideas about health in the legacy of the outstanding Sufi thinker Yusuf Hamadoni (1048–1140). Particular attention is paid to the relationship between physical and spiritual health in the Sufi tradition, as well as the concept of internal purification as the basis for harmonious human existence. The role of asceticism, dhikr, mentoring, and tawakkul (trust in God) as factors contributing to the preservation and strengthening of health is analyzed. It is concluded that health in the understanding of Hamadoni is not only a physiological state, but also the result of a spiritual path leading to comprehension of the truth and purification of the heart. The article is based on the treatises, instructions, and spiritual heritage of Hamadoni, as well as on the broader context of Sufi philosophy.
