Spiritual illness affects the soul, and in order to find out about spiritual illness and health, dos and don'ts, influencing and being influenced, and other issues related to the soul, one should refer to divine revelation. This research was done with library and descriptive-analytical method. To collect data, with the help of available dictionaries and Quranic software, the verses that talk about mental health or illness were extracted and discussed.

In another 26 cases, he added a title or restriction to mental illness, which he mentioned with other titles such as: "sealed heart", " heart in the curtain ", "sinful heart", " hard heart " and " tight heart”.
