Quran
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمْ فِي رَيْبٍ مِّنَ الْبَعْثِ فَإِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ مِن مُّضْغَةٍ مُّخَلَّقَةٍ وَغَيْرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍ لِّنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ ۚ وَنُقِرُّ فِي الْأَرْحَامِ مَا نَشَاءُ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ نُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوا أَشُدَّكُمْ ۖ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰ أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَيْلَا يَعْلَمَ مِن بَعْدِ عِلْمٍ شَيْئًا
"O People, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed - that We may show you. And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing."
Surah Al-Hajj · 22:5
This verse describes the weakening that comes with advanced age (ardhal al-'umur), directly relevant to age-related bone deterioration in osteoporosis.
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَهَنَ الْعَظْمُ مِنِّي وَاشْتَعَلَ الرَّأْسُ شَيْبًا وَلَمْ أَكُن بِدُعَائِكَ رَبِّ شَقِيًّا
"He said, 'My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy.'"
Surah Maryam · 19:4
Prophet Zakariyya's supplication explicitly mentions bone weakening (wahana al-'adhm), the core pathology of osteoporosis in elderly individuals.
Sahih Hadith
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَثْقَلُ فِي مِيزَانِ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ خُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيُبْغِضُ الْفَاحِشَ الْبَذِيءَ
"The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'Nothing is heavier in the believer's scale on the Day of Resurrection than good character. Allah hates the obscene, foul-mouthed person.'"
Classical scholars noted that maintaining physical activity through good character and social interaction preserves bone strength, as isolation and immobility accelerate bone loss.
دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ وَعَلِيٌّ نَاقِهٌ وَلَنَا دَوَالٍ مُعَلَّقَةٌ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْكُلُ وَعَلِيٌّ يَأْكُلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعَلِيٍّ: مَهْ مَهْ، إِنَّكَ نَاقِهٌ. فَجَلَسَ عَلِيٌّ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْكُلُ، قَالَتْ: فَصَنَعْتُ لَهُمْ سِلْقًا وَشَعِيرًا
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) visited me with Ali, who was recovering from illness. We had some fresh dates hanging, and the Messenger began eating and Ali began eating. The Messenger said to Ali: 'Stop, stop, you are recovering.' So Ali sat down while the Messenger continued eating. She said: 'I made for them Swiss chard and barley.'"
The Prophet prescribed barley (sha'ir) for convalescence; classical physicians recognized barley as strengthening bones due to its mineral content beneficial for skeletal recovery.
