lives, which can also be prone to some behavioral damage, like risky
behaviors. The present study was conducted in order to investigate
the relationship between Quranic Intimacy and the incidence of
risky behaviors among students.
Materials and Methods: The present study is a descriptive and
analytical study of correlational and cross-sectional type. The
research community was all students of Hamadan and Tabriz
Universities of Medical Sciences, and the sample population was
selected using stratified and random sampling. The tools used in this
research included: the Quranic intimacy scale and the risk taking of
Iranian youth scale. To analyze the data, the statistical test of
percentage and frequency, mean and standard deviation,
Kolmogorov–Smirnov test for normality of data, independent t-test,
one-way analysis of variance and Pearson correlation were used. All
analyzes were performed using SPSS software version 24.
Findings: 690 students participated in the study (50% male). The
results of the statistical analysis showed that familiarity with the
Holy Quran has a significant and meaningful effect on reducing the
occurrence of risky behaviors. This effect was observed in all
dimensions of risky behaviors including: dangerous driving,
violence, smoking, unsafe sexual behavior, alcohol and drugs abuse
and psychotropic substances (P<0/05).
Conclusion: According to the positive effect of intimacy with the
Holy Quran on risky behaviors, the reduction of these behaviors in
each of its dimensions, it is necessary to strengthen and improve the
relationship with the Qur'an. Therefore, in this direction, short-term
