Yet, the rapidly increasing population of the elderly in tandem with the decreasing fertility and morbidity rate cause imbalance in the society’s structure. The elderly are often perceived negatively because of the stereotype, and it affects their physical and mental health.

This research hypothesised that the current caretaking system is progressing, but more drastic initiatives areneeded to achieve a wholesome objective for the elderly’s well-being from the Islamic perspective.
