Today, many types of cancer and the severe complications of their treatment, as well as the mortality caused by this disease ,and state of mental health of patients have attracted the attention of many researchers. Therefore, the purpose of the current research was to create a spiritual intelligence educational package with a Quranic approach and to investigate the effect of its training on mental health in a group of female cancer patients.

The present study was an experimental design with pre-test, post-test and control group, and the subjects were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. In order to achieve the goal of the research, after compiling the educational package, 40 female cancer patients were selected and randomly divided into two control and experimental groups. The experimental group was trained during eight sessions for 2 months and during this period they were accompanied by using hopeful messages and homework reminders of Quranic verses (as part of the educational package). In this research, the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) was used to measure mental health, and the data was analyzed using covariance analysis.

The findings of the present study indicate a significant increase in mental health and its dimensions in the experimental group compared to the control group after the educational intervention.

The findings of this study showed that combined and culture-based educational interventions can significantly increase mental health in cancer patients.

The main question of the present article is "Study of the position of women in Farabi democratic society". In other words, in Farabi's view, can women also be considered a place in a democratic society? Political philosophy portrays tasks for women in political life, while Farabi, as the leading philosopher of her time, has established a deep connection between Greek philosophical thought and the teachings of Islam. Also, according to Greek scholars, Farabi considers man to be a civil citizen by nature and deals with the female character with a humanistic and virtuous orientation and almost independent of gender. This research has descriptively and analytically examined Farabi's views on the status of women in a desirable and democratic civil society. Al-Farabi has always used general and all-encompassing terms in his philosophical theories, that is, he does not place gender at the center of the distinction between human beings. In his anthropological view, gender does not interfere with humanity.
