At a specific Islamic boarding school, students who do not live on campus undergo a process of developing prophetic intelligence through three phases: a pre-transformation desire for deeper worship, a transformation involving mystical experiences toward Allah, and a post-transformation marked by more religious thinking, polite behavior, and benefit to others. Mastery of this intelligence includes both quantitative competencies—intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and perceptual intelligence from a prophetic perspective—and qualitative competencies such as bodily light representing heart clarity and acquiring previously unstudied knowledge (Laduni's knowledge).
An 8-week mindfulness mobile app (Aramgar) designed for Persian users reduced perceived stress and improved mindfulness skills. In a one-group pretest-posttest design, 85 students used the app for at least 10 minutes daily. Scores on the Perceived Stress Scale and the Five Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire changed significantly from before to after the intervention: perceived stress decreased (P = 0.03) and total mindfulness increased (P = 0.002). Specialists rated the app's quality as appropriate across engagement, functionality, aesthetics, and information quality. The findings suggest that mobile mindfulness apps can offer a simple way to support mental health, though further infrastructure development is needed.
Islamic and transpersonal psychology share interconnected views of human beings, each examining people across three dimensions: somatic (body), psychic (mental), and noetic (spiritual). Both fields center on theoretical studies of human nature and emphasize spiritual or transcendental awareness. This qualitative library research systematically reviewed e-journal literature to identify these commonalities, concluding that the two psychological traditions converge in their multidimensional and spiritually attuned conception of persons.
