Role of Spiritual Health Epidemic in Designing an Islamic Model of Progress

In designing an Islamic model of progress what element should be truly includedextensively in all its variables, without which one can reject it as a non-Islamic model?How is it dealt with in view of the Holy Quran and Islamic traditions? These questionshelped us initiate a s tudy on the spiritual health epidemic for generalization ofspiritual behavior and for helping beliefs and spiritual affairs bloom in Islamic-Iranianmodel of progress. On the other hand, this work intends to look at practical factors tohelp overcome spiritual illness in Iranian society’s model of spiritual progress. This wascarried out through secondary qualitative analysis of the narrative data taken from theHoly Quran and Islamic traditions. Findings show that the model’s target of promotingspiritual affairs is among the mechanisms that will affect all human activities and asthe Holy Quran sugges ts, God-centered human activities in designing all model-basedvariables is accounted as a principal hypothesis; and this can be a criterion for differencebetween Islamic and Wes tern patterns. The material progress of the Islamic society, too,undergoes a dras tic change with this criterion so that economy and occupational ethicsbased on Islamic sys tem will shift away from object-orientation and profiteering towardthe Muslim people and a dis tinctive pattern with humanis tic approaches will be designed.An innovation achieved through this research work is presenting s trategies for feedingspiritual mechanisms in designing Islamic-Iranian model of progress.
