So reduction of this behavior can play a significant role in improving the mental health and well-being of people in society. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the role of spiritual intelligence and resilience in predicting the suicidal ideation of people with borderline personality disorder.Method: The current research was descriptive-correlation. In this research, 100 people who referred to psychological hospitals in Shiraz city and have received the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder, were studied by available sampling method. The data collection tools in this research were King Spiritual Intelligence questionnaire(2008), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale(2003) and Beck Suicidal Ideation Scale(1979). Data analysis was performed by Pearson correlation test and step by step regression using SPSS26 software.Findings: The results showed that there was an inverse and significant relationship between spiritual intelligence (r = -0.204) and resilience (r = -0.479) with suicide ideation. In total 38% of variance of suicide ideation was explained by spiritual intelligence and resilience.Conclusion: According to the results, spiritual intelligence and resilience play a role in improving the suicide ideation. Therefore, training in the field of improving spiritual intelligence and resilience in the program of therapeutic interventions for people with borderline personality disorder can be effective in the suicide ideation and suicidal behaviors.

Introduction: After entering the university, students face psychological challenges such as depression and, more severely, suicidal thoughts. According to surveys, religious beliefs can be related to these variables and cause them to decrease. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the role of religious coping styles (positive and negative) in depression and suicidal thoughts of students.Methods: The present study was a correlational descriptive study. The statistical population of the research included all the students of Farhangian University of South Khorasan in the academic year of 2023-2024 in the number of 2100 people, of which 310 people were selected by stratified-random sampling method and were selected according to Beck's (1961), Beck's (1996) and Beck's depression questionnaires. Pargament's religious coping questionnaire (2000) answered. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient test in SPSS-24 software.Results: The results showed that there is a significant relationship between religious coping styles with suicidal thoughts (r=0.346) and depression (r=0.427). In fact, positive religious coping with depression (r = -0.489) and suicidal thoughts (r = -0.461) has a negative relationship and negative religious coping with depression (r = 0.331) and suicidal thoughts (r = 0.387) had a direct and significant relationship (p<0.01).Conclusion: Overall, the results showed that positive religious coping styles negatively and significantly predict students' depression and suicidal thoughts, and negative religious coping styles positively and significantly predict students' depression and suicidal thoughts.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study is to investigate the types proposed by Heinz Kohat regarding the narcissistic personality with an attitude towards Islamic teachings.Materials and methods: This research has studied Heinz Kohut's four types of narcissistic personality by descriptive method and content analysis. Islamic teachings have also been used to explain the subject.Findings: Kohat does not consider narcissism as an absolute disorder, but considers it to play a positive role in providing a person's mental health. He considers it as a disorder when there is some kind of defect in his structure, which is often caused by childhood deficiencies. Based on this, he proposed four types of narcissistic personality disorders: understimulated self, fragmented self, overstimulated self, and stressed self.Results: The basis of the four types of mountains is generally that parents and other caregivers of children have not been able to show an empathetic response to their demonstrative manifestations. Also, a relative alignment was seen in the under-stimulated and over-stimulated self-types of Kohat's typology with some Islamic teachings, and in the self-types, there are several fragments and under the pressure of Qur'anic and narrative examples and No match was found.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most transformative and impactful fields of recent decades in the global scientific, academic, and industrial communities. Since all human endeavors must adhere to ethical principles, scientific communities have sought to establish ethical boundaries for the use of AI to foster global optimism and hope for its remarkable and future-oriented capabilities while avoiding potential harms. In this context, the European Union adopted the *Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI* in 2018. Similarly, it is essential for Islamic countries, considering their monotheistic worldview, to develop ethical principles for AI. This article addresses this crucial issue. In this study, human advancements such as AI are regarded as arising from humanity’s innate pursuit of perfection. The terms "ethics" and "intelligence" are examined from both materialistic and divine perspectives. It is noted that materialistic thought does not consider the immaterial nature of the soul, whereas Islamic philosophy attributes sensory, imaginative, and rational perceptions to the immaterial soul of humans. Based on this understanding, the use of the term "intelligence" for machines is only acceptable in a metaphorical sense. The ethical guidelines for trustworthy AI outlined by the European Union—focusing on human rights, democracy, and law—are analyzed. Using Islamic philosophy, the meaning of "intelligence" is redefined, and the leading role of Islamic civilization in AI is highlighted. Islamic cultural principles based on justice are analyzed through the three foundations of piety, benevolence, and trustworthiness. This research was conducted through a library-based method, utilizing scientific resources from credible databases. Finally, a table of guidelines for users of ethical AI has been developed.

Background and Aim: Considering the psychological challenges of students in university, their emotional adjustment in this environment and its related factors are important. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of spiritual well-being in the relationship between lifestyle and emotional adjustment of students.Method: The method was descriptive-correlational, and based on the structural equation model. The statistical population included all students of Farhangian University of South Khorasan Province in the academic year 2023-2024 (2128 people). Based on the stratified sampling method, 319 people (129 boys and 190 girls) were selected from among the eligible individuals and answered the questionnaires of spiritual well-being by Dehshiri et al., Islamic lifestyle by Kaviani Arani, and emotional adjustment by Farahbakhsh. The research data were analyzed through Pearson correlation test and bootstrap test using SPSS-26 and Smart Pls-3 software.Findings: The correlation coefficients between Islamic lifestyle (r=0.449) and spiritual well-being (r=0.334) with emotional adjustment were positive and significant (P<0.01). Also, the results of the bootstrap test showed that the path coefficient of the indirect relationship between Islamic lifestyle and emotional adjustment through the mediator variable of spiritual well-being was significant (p<0.05). Finally, obtaining a value of GOF=0.345 indicated the overall fit of the research model.Conclusion: The results indicate that spiritual well-being can mediate the relationship between Islamic lifestyle and emotional adjustment of students. It is recommended to hold training courses and specialized workshops to teach the application of Islamic lifestyle skills and improve spirituality in students.
