One of the needs of human beings is happiness and spiritual health. Happiness and spiritual health depend on the quality of recognition, tendency and behavior and on the type of individual’s attitude. Happiness and spiritual health are affected by various factors including the attitude of man to the universe. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the mechanism of the impact of knowledge on the realization of happiness and spiritual health from the perspective of verses and narratives. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical research method and the library information data collection method. Research showed that, from the Quran’s point of view, God’s attitude is the important factor in human mental health and happiness, which, with the consent of the past and the creation of confidence in the future, will make happiness. People either feel grief over the past or are worried about the future which has not arrived yet. Hence, in the pattern of spiritual happiness, the believers see their future and past governed by God, and they do not have any grief over the past and the fear of the future, and will remain calm and happy to what God has ordered.

Throughout history, scientists have sought to offer a true definition of health as a concept closely related to human life. Moreover, spiritual health has managed to hold the attention of W.H.O. in recent years. The purpose of this article is to determine the humanistic principles of spiritual health on the basis of the Qur’anic teachings. Analysis of the Qur’anic teachings show that the cosmos, human, and life have two aspects: physical and metaphysical, corporal and spiritual, physical and spiritual. Human is hay muta’alleh (literally the divine living) whose health is inextricably linked with monotheism. The spiritual health is also intertwined with the concept of qalb-e salīm (literally the healthy heart). Knowledge, faith, and good behavior seem to be the three principles of spiritual health. In sum, the Qur’anic spiritual health covers (a) the health of soul through the recognition and attainment of monotheism and (b) the health of behavior through promotion of virtues and abstention from vices. Therefore, the spiritual health in the Qur’an is completely different from the secular's ones.
