Introduction: In a situation where proponents and opponents of "Islamic medicine" present their arguments, each stubbornly adhering to their respective positions, it is essential to focus on an evidence-based discourse. Like many other scientific fields, the issue of medicine and health in the country appears to be experiencing a historical disconnect from its traditions. In this context, considering the perspectives of Muslim scholars can provide a conceptual framework and, at a more advanced theoretical level, a potential solution. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze Samarqandi's Prosodic Military System approach concerning the relationship between Islam and health. Material and method: The research method employed is content analysis, focusing on the examination of four articles by Nizami Aruzi Samarqandi. Results: Content analysis revealed that Nizami adopts a doctrinal approach to the practice of physician, asserting that a physician must first believe in God, respect Sharia law, and seek divine assistance in their medical practice. He views the Quran as a divine pharmacy, with Surah Fatiha serving as a syrup brimming with blessings. According to Aruzi Samarqandi, medicine is a discipline that should be complemented by the unique qualities of a physician, including cheerfulness, openness, and a pleasant demeanor. A skilled physician is characterized by a gentle heart, keen intuition, and a wise soul, which implies a thorough understanding of medical science and a commitment to studying medical texts from Hippocrates to Avicenna; although, he notes that the first chapter of the Law is sufficient. Furthermore, the four articles suggest that a physician should embody holistic, humble, and egalitarian principles. Overall, Samarqandi's prose underscores the importance of Islamic principles in medicine while also acknowledging the wealth of human knowledge. Conclusion: The Nizami perspective on the relationship between Islam and health is significant for several reasons. It emphasizes the importance of adhering to the fundamental principles of Islam in the field of medicine, helps to mitigate excesses in Islamic medical practices, and provides a framework for theoretical exploration in this area.

Adolescence is a critical stage of life during which individuals experience numerous physical, psychological, and social changes, facing many complexities and challenges. One of these challenges is the effective interaction between parents and adolescents, which can sometimes lead to serious behavioral and communication problems due to a lack of proper understanding of the characteristics and needs of teenagers. This research aims to extract and explain the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral principles of parent-adolescent interaction based on the teachings of the Infallibles (peace be upon them) with a psychological perspective. The findings indicate that principles such as understanding adolescent characteristics, fostering spirituality, empathy, listening skills, love and friendship, respect for individuality, attention to needs, and methods like assertiveness and flexibility, encouragement and reminders, and clarifying right from wrong can serve as effective strategies in guiding and educating adolescents. The results of this study suggest that applying these principles and methods can significantly improve parent-adolescent interactions and enhance the psychological, social, and moral well-being of the community.

Purpose: Religious teachings and Islamic ethics can play an important role in reducing the psychological problems of school principals. The present research was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of religious teachings and Islamic ethics on the spiritual health and mental health of school principals. Materials and methods: This research was conducted in a semi-experimental way with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research included all the principals of schools in Kerman city in 1402, 30 of them were selected to enter the research using the available sampling method and were randomly assigned to two experimental groups (15 people) and control groups (15 people). The experimental group was taught religious teachings and Islamic ethics twice a week during 9 sessions of 90 minutes. The control group did not receive any training. Data were collected in the pre-test and post-test stages using the spiritual health questionnaires of Polotzin and Ellison (1983) and the general health of Goldberg (1963) and analyzed using the covariance analysis method with SPSS-26. Results: The results showed that in the experimental group, the average spiritual health score increased from 41.33 in the pre-test stage to 65.28 in the post-test stage. Also, in the experimental group, the average mental health score increased from 30.12 in the pre-test stage to 47.47 in the post-test stage (P<0.001). Conclusion: According to the findings, it can be concluded that the teaching of religious teachings and Islamic ethics has an effect on increasing the spiritual health and mental health of madrasa principals, and holding in-service courses in this field is necessary for school principals.

purpose:Strengthening family bonds, as a fundamental pillar of societal stability, holds a significant position in the Quran.

The findings reveal that despite extensive research in this area, certain dimensions of family strengthening in the Quran remain underexplored. Moreover, theoretical approaches were found to dominate over empirical ones. Conclusion:This study highlights existing research gaps and proposes future directions for investigations to address overlooked dimensions of family strengthening from the perspective of Quranic teachings.

The personality of each person expresses his fixed thought, emotional and behavioral patterns. Perceptions and thoughts of each person call for appropriate behavior and affect relationships with others. Accordingly, mental health and human relationships are always affected by personality and its injuries, and this effect is higher in the pathology of narcissism. This article is written with the aim of representing the concept of narcissism and its role on mental health and human relationships and how these two affect each other and providing strategies to reduce it from the perspective of the Qur'an using the method of content analysis. He used the results of psychology and educational science research and explained the topic by referring to Quran and Hadith and presented Quranic strategies to achieve it and stated that: the closest concept to the meaning of narcissism in the Holy Quran is Kabir. Arrogance and narcissism share many symptoms and have almost the same behavior pattern. The most important functions of narcissism are: changes in self-esteem, increase in aggression, increase in sense of entitlement, decrease in empathy, decrease in self-control, which endangers a person's mental health and creates problems in the person's mental health, prevents a person from establishing favorable and beneficial relationships, creating problems in establishing relationships, has caused more damage and problems for mental health, which in turn causes more and more destruction and loss of relationships. Among the most important strategies of the Quran to reduce narcissism can be mentioned: changing cognition, practicing humility and remembering death. Following these strategies can remove a person from the position of arrogance and narcissism and be a factor for mental health and thus the health of human relationships.

Objective: Due to the nature of their working conditions, doctors are frequently exposed to making errors. It is necessary to establish laws regarding the guarantee of doctors in case of medical errors. The aim of this study was to examine the articles of the Islamic Penal Code approved in 2013, as well as the verses of the Holy Quran and the traditions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and the Imams of Athar (PBUH) related to the physician’s liability.Methods and Materials: The current research is organized using a narrative review method. After evaluating texts related to the study subject, we prepared the present study.Results: The results show that many verses of the Qur’an focus on doctor’s responsibility (emphasize the importance of life, accountability, and the harmony between action and responsibility) and physician’s non-liability (non-responsibility, emergency, and benevolence). Themes such as the liability and non-liability of the physician (innocence, emergency, and benevolence) have also been expressed in Islamic traditions. The 2013 Islamic Penal Code includes provisions that address the physician’s liability, as well as the physician’s non-liability (which includes non-responsibility, urgency, and benevolence).Conclusion: Overall, the findings of the present study demonstrate that the provisions of the Islamic Penal Code regarding the physician’s liability align perfectly with Islamic laws.
