Abstract
Introduction In Islamic verses and narrations, there are many examples of life style that cover
almost all aspects of human life. Considering that the higher objective of the Islamic society is

to try to achieve Islamic civilization and that the formation of Islamic civilization is a prevalence

of Islamic lifestyle, this study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effects of Islamic

life style on mental health of family from the perspective of Islamic verses and narrations. This

descriptive-analytical research was conducted with a library and documentary method along

with the study of the Holy Quran and the narrations of Imams (PBUH). The verses and narrations

about life style were extracted and categorized in the areas of mental health in individual and

social fields and, ultimately, adapted to scientific instructions in the field of mental health.

Conclusion
Life style based on religion can be considered one of the main factors in the
prediction and promotion of mental health. Religion can have an effective role in the

psychological well-being of the individual and society with various mechanisms such as

existence of hope, motivation, positivism in life, creation of a social and emotional support

network, giving a clear and decisive answer to the concept of creation, the world, and life, the

delightful explanation and definition of suffering, pain, and deprivation, as well as by giving

meaning of human life and its salvation from emptiness, and on the other hand, by changing

the cognition of man from death and the proper satisfaction of the motivation of survival, and

by providing the concept of reward and compensation of difficulties.
