Abstract

Though some decades have been passed from proposing the problem of spiritual health, there may not be found any public and common meaning of the spirituality of health. The reason why consists in the fact that scholars in different fields of religion, philosophy and psychology each tries to define spirituality on the basis of his/her particular cultural principles and social conditions. Many humanists have viewed spirituality as being defined mainly in different aspects such as the goal of life, superiority, socialization, nature or Divinity and values like love and the state of being kind; the fact lacking of any religious foundation. In the paper, it has been intended to discover the meaning of spirituality on the basis of Allamah Tabataba’i`s opinions in order to attaining a common understanding. As understood in the study, on his view, spirituality is regarded as a human spiritual and superior life originating from human nature. Those of such a life would be characterized by perfections only in the shadow of belief in God and good deeds. Needless to say, such a description is based upon understanding human biology, spiritual cosmology, cognitive theology and anthropology as presented in Islamic main sources. His emphasis on Quranic bases may be used by those managing in the field of health
