Abstract
Background and purpose: The growth of empiricism provided the basis for a materialistic approach in various fields. One of these fields was the materialistic approach to the occult and spiritual concepts. Given the influence of the materialistic approach, modern thinkers, relying on positivism, began to examine the occult and spiritual concepts of the Quran. At first, they denied those concepts and in later stages, they adapted the spiritual and occult concepts to material matters. Considering the impact of religious beliefs on human happiness, the aim of the research is to clarify the social health consequences of the materialistic approach to the occult and spiritual concepts of the Quran?
Materials and methods: The present research is based on content analysis by collecting information in a library manner and using Magiran, SID and PubMed databases and Google Scholar search engine with keywords "social health", "positivism", "materialistic approach". "Empirical science", and "occult and spiritual concepts" were searched; A total of 26 sources related to the purpose of the study were identified and used.
Conclusion: Based on the findings and results of the research, the materialistic approach to occult and spiritual concepts has led to the emergence of social phenomena such as the growth of humanism, nationalism, the spiritual distortion of the occult concepts of the Qur'an, the rejection of the occult, and the removal of spirituality, thereby challenging the social health of society. is Therefore, the recognition of other sciences such as philosophy, revelation and mysticism, the optimal use of philosophical arguments and the systematic interpretation of the Quran, and the use of each science in its own domain are ways to prevent a material approach to the occult and spiritual concepts of the Quran.
