The purpose of this study is to explore an important and new subject of psychology called self-regulation in Islamic education and to explain and introduce Zikr as a model of Islamic self-regulation.The method of this study is fundamental and library method is used to collect data. Self-regulation as an effective psychological mechanism in reducing psychological and physical injuries of people has been noticed by great scientists and Various theories and studies have been published to explain this psychological structure. Considering its effectiveness in human health and the similarity of some Islamic concepts with self-regulation, a number of internal studies have introduced Islamic models of self-regulation. Among the concepts that have been introduced and explained in this field, we can mention Saber, Helm,Doa, Salat, Taqva,...But it seems that none of the introduced valuable concepts have the necessary and sufficient comprehensiveness, or their compatibility with contemporary self-regulation models has not been well explained.In this article, the term zikr has been introduced as an alternative and Islamic model of self-regulation, and some of its overlaps, similarities and correspondences with common theories of self-regulation have been examined and compared. The result of this study indicates that Zikr can be introduced as an Islamic self-regulation method

Health-promoting behaviors form an essential component of a healthy lifestyle. The present study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the 16-item version of the Religious Health Promoting Behavior Inventory (RHPBI-16) in the student population.

The factorial structure of the RHPBI-16 scale was investigated through exploratory factor analysis. Convergent and discriminant validity were also calculated. The statistical population consisted of all students of Tehran universities, among whom 300 people who were available to the researchers participated in the research voluntarily. The participants completed the RHPBI-16, Attachment to God Scale, Mental Health Inventory, as well as Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale.

The convergent and diagnostic validity of the RHPBI-16 scale was tested by examining the relationship between the average score of the participants in this scale and their attachment to God, psychological well-being, psychological distress, depression, anxiety, and stress. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between the participants’ RHPBI-16 scores and their attachment to God and psychological well-being. On the other hand, there was a significant negative correlation between participants’ RHPBI-16 scores and their psychological distress, depression, anxiety, and stress. The internal consistency of the RHPBI-16 scale was calculated and confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The test-retest reliability of the RHPBI-16 scale was calculated and confirmed by re-administering it with an interval of two weeks. The results of exploratory factor analysis confirmed two factors of religiosity and religious health behaviors for the RHPBI-16 scale.

Based on the results of the present study, the RHPBI-16 scale has favorable psychometric properties for measuring this construct in Iranian samples.

Anxiety as an important disorder that endangers a person's mental health, especially in the days of Covid-19 heart disease, has consequences for the lifestyle of students. Thus, Covid-19 anxiety is the subject of a new study that can be examined by examining the effect of spiritual factors on its reduction. The purpose of this research was the prediction of anxiety of covid-19 based on relationship to God among students. Research method was relational. Participants contained of all students in Fatemeyeh University in Shiraz in 2021. 200 students were selected via accessible and answered anxiety of covid-19 & relationship to God scaled. Data analysis was done via Pierson test & Regresion test. Results showed that there was significant relationship between anxiety of covid-19 & relationship to God among students, as relationship to God among students can predict anxiety of covid-19 among students.

Different levels of trust in God have been introduced in both religious sources and experimental research as one of the components of mental health promotion. In this regard, the present study aimed to construct and validate the Trust in God Questionnaire (TGQ) based on Islamic sources.

For this purpose, after extracting the items from the Holy Quran and religious sources, with the cooperation of 15 experts in religious and academic sciences, 16 items were selected in several stages. To evaluate the psychometric properties of this questionnaire, 150 students of Jahrom University participated in this study. Islamic-Iranian Gratitude Questionnaire (IIGQ) and Attachment Scale (AS) were used to check the validity.

The reliability of TGQ was evaluated by two methods of retesting a sample of 40 people at 2-week intervals and internal consistency, the reliability coefficients were 0.87 and 0.82, respectively. Correlation coefficients between TGQ with IIGQ and AS were 0.55 and -0.58, respectively (p<0.001). Exploratory factor analysis identified three factors, which were called “Good impression and Trust”, “Satisfaction with fate” and “Operational Trust”, respectively. Moreover, the results of the present study showed that the scores of all items of TGQ were significantly correlated with the total score and all subscales with each other and with the total score.

Therefore, the TGQ is psychometrically appropriate and reliable for measuring the three levels of trust.

When people find out they have diabetes, they can face a spiritual crisis and feeling of loneliness; these factors can actually exacerbate the disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of mindfulness training with Islamic approach on spiritual well-being and loneliness in women with type 2 diabetes.

The present study was conducted using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. In this study, the statistical population included all women with type 2 diabetes who were members of the Diabetic Patient Support Association of Yazd province in 2019. Thirty women were selected using purposive sampling method and randomly divided into two groups of experimental (n=15) and control (n=15). The members of experimental group received eight sessions of mindfulness training with Islamic approach; the control group was on the waiting list. Spiritual Well-being Questionnaire(SWB) (Dehshiri et al.) andLonelinessScale (DiTommaso et al.) were used for data collection. Data was analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. In this study, all ethical considerations have been observed and no conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

According to the results, by controlling the pre-test effect, a significant difference was observed between the mean scores in the components of spiritual well-being (including: communication with God, self-communication, communication with nature, and communication with others) and loneliness (including: romantic loneliness, family loneliness, and social loneliness) between the two experimental and control groups on the post-test (P<0.001).

Mindfulness training with Islamic approach has a significant effect on promoting spiritual well-being and reducing the feeling of loneliness in women with type 2 diabetes.

Islamic spirituality along with effects such as connection with God, heeding the world hereafter, loving the good, communicating with God through prayers, and leaving affairs to His discretion leads to spiritual growth while non-divine spirituality does not follow spiritual growth, its main concern being peace and joy in this world. In addition to positive spiritual attitudes and emotions, Islamic spirituality emphasizes the positive religious manners such as prayer, observance of privacy of the non-intimate, and attention to responsibilities. These rituals and moral considerations have a decisive role in spiritual growth.
Spiritual growth in Islamic psychology is a given. Based on the premises of Islamic psychology, spiritual growth and approach to God are more important than tranquility and joy, and indeed the goal of life for the Muslim community is the same as spiritual growth (1). Among the effects of spiritual growth, psychological well-being, tranquility, joy, and performance improvement can be pointed out. For example, in case of suffering and hardship, a believer gives them a spiritual dimension, conceiving suffering and tribulations as an opportunity to approach God (2). Therefore, religious spirituality not only leads to spiritual growth through strengthening spiritual attitudes and emotions but also enhances the psychological well-being and compatibility.
Nowadays psychological works of spirituality and religiosity have been taken into consideration in a good number of articles. These works include promoting positive attitudes and emotions, flexibility and compatibility, as well as grief and anxiety reduction. It is suggested that future lines of research address the spiritual and religious functions of spirituality and religiosity as well. For instance, what is the effect of raising students’ awareness about the blessings of Paradise on their night prayers and the daily recitation of the Qur'an? What is the effect of reminding death on respecting chastity and privacy in dealing with non-intimates in the university campus? In every sort of science, there must be congruence among the fundamentals, purpose, subject, issues, and the methods of that science. The main objective in Islamic psychology is spiritual growth. Given that, all aspects of this science should be designed accordingly. If part of Islamic psychology seeks to cure psychological injuries, this goal is toward spiritual growth and approaching God. This is because physical-mental harm also causes problems for reaching God and attempts for God, and eliminating such problems will facilitate spiritual growth. It is hoped that this is taken into account in the scientific research so that, considering the spiritual and religious functions of Islamic teachings, the real spiritual growth of individuals is facilitated.
