The present study was conducted to investigate correlation between dimensions of Islamic lifestyle and mental health in the students of the Qom University of Medical Sciences.

Of this population, 150 people were selected by multistage sampling. Data gathering was conducted by the short version of Islamic lifestyle test and 12-item General Health Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed by descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression.

There was a significant correlation between Islamic lifestyle and mental health (r=-0.65, p<0.05). Among the variables included in the stepwise multiple regression, Thinking and Science, Financial, and Social dimensions had significant effect on mental health.
