Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the psychological trauma in Quran. Methods: This qualitative study was performed using the thematic analysis. Data were stories and allegorys of Quran. It was found 40 stories and 101 allegories through searching in Quranic books, websites and softwares. The data were collected, coded and classified in the form of Thematic Network during a two-year period. Finding: The results of the thematic analysis of data indicated 336 cods, 29 subthemes, 2 basic themes and 1 global theme, respectively. Conclusion: The results showed that heart disease is the base of psychological trauma. It means that the heart which is the place of emotions and psychological traits of human deviates from its natural state, becomes unhealthy, and becomes the center of the negative emotions. The roots of all these negative emotions and mental disorders (megalomania, lying, hatred, jealousy, fear, greed, betrayal, stingy, ingratitude, impatience, excus-making and so on) are egocentrism and secularity.
