Abstract
The aim of this paper is to give islamic perspective to the topic mentioned above. Qur'anic verses and Prophet's hadiths will be
our source in defining the key words what will further guide us towards the explanation how islam affects, influences and in general
contributes to the mental, spiritual, individual and global health. Considering that spiritual health is not only the absence of illness,
rather it is soul contention, it is necessary to include observation of the ways for strenthening the faith, what will, consequently, lead
to the spiritual well being and, in the end, towards better mental health for the individual and community in general. Since the faith
is confirmed through humantiy and fraternity, the observation on the faith's influence on more human picture of mankind is
inevitable. Almost every individual strives to find the answer on the question what is the purpose of his/hers life. The faith gives
answer on this question and the presence of this awareness (purpose of life) strengthens mental health.
