Abstract
From the point of view of the World Health Organization, 
health means complete physical, mental and social well-being. 
From the point of view of Islam, these aspects are in alignment 
with the Quranic teachings and guidelines that guarantee the 
evolutionary movement and mental health of man. Social 
health means how to evaluate a person's performance in 
society, and Keyes' social health model is one of the most 
commonly used models in measuring social health. Since 
Keyes criteria are not compatible with Iran's cultural, religious 
and social criteria, the researchers decided to examine Keyes' 
five dimensions of social health with a Quranic approach.
