Background: Formation of a comprehensive and exhaustive theory of spiritual health demands convergenceand collaboration amongst several disciplines of Islamic theology and formation of an interdisciplinary collaboration. In macro-level Islamic theory, spirituality is a clearly-defined and well- documentedconcept formed on a solid philosophical and logical foundation based on deduction and clear reasoning whichis quite different from emotional spirituality.
Results: According to different definitions based on a wide range of criteria, spiritual health is comprised of metaphysical, mental, and social dimensions and is both humane and supernatural (multi- dimensional). Spiritual health is comprehensive, inclusive, and well-structured, and is considered as in line with other dimensions of humanity with both internal and external presentations. It is noteworthy, however, that its presentation and embodiment which is integral to Islamic culture, has different levels and layers, and is considered as an acquired and voluntary accomplishment attainable by free will.
Conclusion: In this essay, besides introduction of ten criteria of the abovementioned indicators of spiritual health, an analysis of the plights of spiritualism-related perils is also discussed. |
