Background: The goal of Iran's health system is developing the spiritual health of the society affected by the social determinants of health. The aim of the study was providing a "policy brief" to adjust the social determinants of the spiritual health of the community. Methods: This two-stage qualitative study included Islamic future research based on the Manteghi et al. model with the following stages: 1) Analytical: non-systematic review of evidence with the PRISMA protocol and analysis with the Walker and Avant conceptual analysis model; 2) Interpretation: based on the theory of spiritual personality and the pathology theory of the Sound Heart Model; 3) Intuitive: content analysis of interviews with 25 national experts, and a study based on grounded theory with the systematic method of Strauss and Corbin and three-stage coding (open, central and selective) of "interview data" with five professors and students. Results: Challenges in three areas needed to be corrected in terms of causal factors (adjustment of social conditions, correcting the method of spiritual education, supervising the functioning of social models) to create knowledge of religion, positive perception of God and safe attachment to God. These areas included: 1) Research: neglecting the paradigmatic difference between Islam and Catholic Christianity in Islamic spiritual health research, limited use of religious evidence by academics, lack of theorizing; 2) Educational: lack of spiritual health education in universities, lack of training of spiritual mentor professors; and 3) Clinical: neglect of social determinants of spiritual health, lack of standards for providing spiritual health services, lack of assessment of the competences of spiritual caregivers. Conclusion: Implementation of the self-care empowerment program, reforming the spiritual education method, focusing on modeloriented education in educational centers, policymaking to deepen spirituality in the society are the main strategies of compassionate spiritual governance of the health system to promote the spiritual health of the society.
