Öz

Amaç: Son zamanlarda yapılan çalışmalar incelendiğinde sağlık ve dini pratik/maneviyat ilişkisini ele alan çalışmalar göze çarpmaktadır. Birçok çalışma, dini bağlılık ve maneviyatın genellikle sağlığı olumlu yönde etkilediğini göstermiştir. Ayrıca eklem hareketleri sırasında birçok kasta kasılma ve esneme hareketleri gözlenir. Dünyada milyonlarca Müslüman düzenli olarak günde beş vakit namaz kılmaktadır. Namaz sadece fiziksel bir aktivite olmayıp, namaz içinde çeşitli Kuran ayetlerinin okunduğu ve belirli duruşları içeren bir ibadettir. Bu derleme, namaz kılmanın insan sağlığına olan faydalarının ortaya çıkarılması amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: Bu makale için, veriler anahtar kelimeler kullanılarak Google Scholar, PubMed ve Sciencedirect veritabanları taranarak ve sistematik yaklaşım kullanılarak elde edildi. Bulgular: Namazın sağlığa olan faydaları; kas-iskelet, nörolojik, kardiyovasküler ve psikolojik faydalar olmak üzere geniş bir perspektifden ele alınarak açıklandı. Sonuç: Namazın, müslümanlar için bir ibadet şekli olmasının yanı sıra maddi külfeti olmayan, özel bir mekana ihtiyaç duymayan, her yaştan insanın rahatlıkla yapabileceği bir egzersiz ve meditasyon şekli olarak da değerlendirilmektedir. İncelenen araştırmalarda namazın kas-iskelet sistemi, kalp-damar sistemi, nörolojik ve psikolojik açıdan insan sağlığına birçok faydası olduğu görülmüştür.
