Islam has given the ideas and guidelines to people in all aspects of life such as law, economy,
science and social. The Quran has cited many items of health related, while hadeeth and
sunnah of Prophet Muhammad were the complement to the Quran. However, the awareness
of Al-Quran, hadeeth and sunnah as a healthcare guideline in scientific perspective among
people remains uncertain. The objective of this study wass to observe the understanding of
diploma pharmacy students on the coherency of Quran and Prophet Muhammad dietary
(QPMD) knowledge with the medicinal properties characteristics (MPC). A set of selfadministrative questionnaire has been distributed to the volunteers among pharmacy students.
This, questionnaire consists of demographic data, status of respondent’s agreement on the
QPMD, QPMD knowledge level assessment and QPMD interrelation with MPC. There were 25
male and 106 female students from semester 2 and 4 involved. From our findings, 98.5% of
respondents claimed that they were aware of the QPMD and majority of 72 students have high
score on QPMD, 58 students have moderate level of knowledge and only one person has low
score of the QPMD. A Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA indicated that there was no statistically significant
differences between the MPC’s answer assigned to the level of QPMD score. As the conclusion,
the student’s awareness of QPMD does not reflect ability to correlate the MPC with QPMD .
Our suggestion, this can be the first step in preparing the next pharmacist generation and
contemporary society educated with Al-Quran and sunnah medicinal comprehension.
