Investigating the Effect of Religious and Islamic Teachings on the Calmness and Mental Health in Educational Spaces.

Religion can lead to the creation of meaning. Therefore, religion gives meaning to the life and death of humans. Spirituality is far higher than religion and entails all concepts of human dimensions such as spiritual health, peace resulting from belief and spiritual adaptation as well as one's experiences in a unique and dynamic process (which is reflecting the belief in God and infinite power), connection (to someone, others, nature or God) and coalition. Regardless of considering the role of spirituality in the health section, what is worldly paid attention today, is the "spirituality" and "sublime values" in medical science education specially life skills and spiritual life skills education and the people of the society.
