Spiritual Health Gained through Relation with God
Spiritual health can be obtained through relation with God, a relation that fills man with spirituality, a psychologist said.
Hojat-ol-Islam Nasser Saqa Biriya, who is a member of Qom Seminary’s Psychologists Association also told IQNA that acquainting people with God, His endless mercy and His innumerable blessings given to mankind can help improve the level of spiritual health in society.
He further highlighted the importance of physical health, saying it is a prelude to spiritual health.
Given the relationship between the soul and the body, spiritual health can also improve physical health, Hojat-ol-Islam Saqa Biriya noted.
He cited a prayer of Imam Sajjad (AS), “Oh God! Give me lasting Afiya (health)”, and said this prayer refers to spiritual health that is manifested in the Hereafter.
The scholar added that spiritual and physical health in this world would lead to ever-lasting health in the Hereafter.
