Abstract
Background and Objective: Since the formation of human societies and civilization, achieving welfare has been one of the most important concerns of humans, and it affected their mental health and many of their thoughts, functions, rituals and culture. All rulers and leaders of human societies have claimed that one of their goals is to eradicate poverty or, at least, reduce its negative effects. Imams (pbuh) had recommendations for reducing poverty and its adverse effects. Although the text of Sahifah Sajjadiah is in the form of prayer, it addresses some of the bad effects of poverty and provides solutions for eliminating them. This shows the mental health of human has been very important to Imam Sajjad (pbuh). The present study tries to investigate and analyze these issues in an attempt to find the level of importance of and attention to different dimensions of mental and social health in individuals from the perspective of Imam Sajjad and to find the approaches to reducing the adverse effects of poverty in the recommendations presented by him.
Methods: This is an analytical library-based study that tries to extract and analyze the adverse effects of poverty and present individual solutions for reducing them drawing on and analyzing the prayers in Sahifah Sajjadiah and the related studies in the fields of psychology, social sciences, and economics. The author did not report any conflicts of interest.
Results: From Imam Sajjad (AS) point of view, poverty puts mental health of individuals and society at risk, but there are ways to control the spread of economy and reduce these harms.
Conclusion: In Sahifah Sajjadiah, people's mental health is viewed from various perspectives and the solutions offered to get out of the unhealthy economy are mainly in the form of advices offered to individuals rather than to governments. This indicates that the abnormal situation caused by the unhealthy economics can be controlled by the individuals themselves.
