Abstract
Background and Objective: It is important to examine the current state of research in any country to guide and determine the direction of future research. This study focused on the status of Quranic research and mental health. This study was focused on three categories: subject, methodology and researchers.
Methods: This is a review study. Research samples were Persian articles published in scientific journals (Electronic Publication). A total of 141 articles were selected for review. The authors have not reported any conflicts of interest.
Results: The results were analyzed in three categories: subject, methodology, and researchers. In the subject category, it was found that interpretive articles (35.47%) have the highest frequency. In terms of methodology, quantitative, qualitative and mixed research accounted for 50.35%, 46.10% and 3.55% of the studies and showed the highest frequency, respectively. Also, in analyzing the status of researchers, it was found that researchers in fields unrelated to the Quranic sciences had published a higher percentage of articles on the Quran and health (63.83%).
Conclusion: According to the research findings, suggestions for future research are provided on the trend of publication of the studies and guiding the future studies in a better direction.
