The positive mental health in Qur`anic perspective: its concept and methods of promotion
description Introduction: Healthcare professionals are making a considerable effort to deal with impacts of our stressful conditions caused by challenges of our competitive and busy life of the globalized world. The rapid changes in social and environmental conditions are also worsening the situation. Anxiety, stress and depression, which affect the mind, are the common outcomes of such situation. These facts have shifted the attention of medical research and practice towards the notion of “positive mental health”, rather than the theory of “mental illness” which had been dominating this field. The World Health Organization (WHO) is contributing to develop this notion. In her work ‘Current Concepts of Positive Mental Health’, Marie Jahoda (1958) identifies serval approaches in defining the positive mental health. The common factor of all such approaches is having a resilient mind which enables individuals to cope with the normal stresses of life to realize their potentials and work productively to contribute in the community development. The key question, however, is how a resilient mind can be built in a society? Materials and method: This question necessitates the search for methods, mechanisms and the basic factors for mental health promotion. This paper presupposes that the Qur’anic approach on mental health provides insights to deals with such questions.
