ABSTRACT

The book “Islam and Mental Health” seeks to examine Islam as a resource and a liability for mental health among Muslims. This paper describes the translation of this book into Persian, examines how mental health professionals in Iran view its contents and reviews whether the information is consistent with Iranian religious beliefs based on views of Shiite Islamic scholars. For this purpose reviewing relevant research and Islamic sources, the book’s text was presented both independently and together to religious scholars and to mental health professionals for comments. The results revealed consistencies and inconsistencies with Muslim beliefs and Iranian cultural traditions.

摘要

《伊斯兰教与心理健康》一书试图将伊斯兰教视为穆斯林心理健康的一种资源和一种责任。本文介绍了将这本书翻译成波斯语的过程，考察了伊朗的精神卫生专业人员如何看待其内容，并根据什叶派伊斯兰学者的观点审查了这些信息是否与伊朗的宗教信仰一致。为此目的，回顾了相关研究和伊斯兰资料，本书的文本既独立地也一起提供给宗教学者和心理健康专业人士以征求意见。结果揭示了与穆斯林信仰和伊朗文化传统的一致性和不一致。
