It is necessary to recognize the differences between traditional and modern medicine schools for achieving an integrated medicine. Methods and Materials: the first principles of the Iranian traditional medicine (ITM) were compared with modern medicine by studying the traditional medicine texts. Finding: one of the differences is the existence of "administrator power" or "Nature" in human body from ITM approach that controls all systems and organs of the body. Nature is the first physician of everyone and physician’s duty is only helping and enforcing it. There is no equivalent for this concept in modern medicine. The second difference is the belief in individual differences among humans (Mizaj) and using it in protecting the health, diagnosis and treatment. Nowadays there is no exact equivalent of this concept in modern medicine, but the expansion of personalized medicine is a way to reach the common approach in this field. Conclusion: the best pattern of integrated medicine for Islamic society is adding the methods and tools of modern medicine based on belief principles of traditional medicine.

This subject makes many questions among the researches, bioethics philosophers, religious scholars especially Shia and Sunni jurists. Since one of the most important reason of human cloning opponents is its conflict and incompatibility with human munificence. This study aimed at investigating the adaptability and the lack of conflict between human cloning and munificence. Methods: This study had been designed to evaluate the human munificence by using Quran, Traditions and the ideas of Religious Scholars and Theologians. In addition, the articles that had been presented comments on cloning were used in the present study. Finding: From Quran point of view, the human being possesses inherent munificence. Cloning has the same situation in protection of embryo munificence with extra uterine fertilization process. The same genetic identity is not adversative of individual identity. In the cloning, the restriction of genetic system has been challenged and has not specific relationship with the general character of human. The formation of personality of cloning person in the environment protects human munificence. None of the Shia jurists has declared that cloning is the evidence of violation of human munificence. Human cloning has not conflict with his munificence. Conclusion: the lack of conflict between cloning and munificence were obtained by exact investigation about this.

In addition, the general principle of lawful food (Halal) is directly pointed 6 times among verses related to food. Among different interpretations of the Quran, the importance of body feeding is emphasized than spirit feeding. Conclusion: According to many scholars and commentators, the issue of food is beyond its material aspects.

About 80 thousand abortions are annually performed in Iran. Many social issues such as having many children, asymmetry in sex, unintended pregnancy, or being illegitimate child have provided appropriate ground for abortion. Different schools have offered a variety of views and ideas. The conception phase and the stage before the soul is inspirited are of value to Islam due to the dignity of man. This study investigated the issue of abortion from the perspective of Islam especially Shi'a jurisprudence. Methods: The religious verdicts of jurisconsult and Shia contemporary scholars, the religious jurisprudence ideas of Imam Khomeini and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the author's perspective on human abortion were discussed and evaluated in this study. The traditions of Muhammad and the signs of Quran were also cited in the present study. The approach of different schools of Sunni, Judaism, the teachings of Zoroaster and Christian theologians were considered. The ideas of non-divine schools like feminists, the science view of medical specialists and the intellectual and common language reasons were addressed in this study. Funding: The majority of Islamic jurisconsults believes that the abortion at any stage of the live is prohibited and is considered non-religious if there is no good reason for it. Abortion sanctity in some circumstances is prohibited according to the negation of hardship and sin rules and it should be prevented from the greater loss based on importance and priority rule. There is no strong reason to abort the pregnancy because of its harassment in the womb. Abortion is permissible for mother if the life of mother is at risk. The sanctity of the rule is removed by the negation of sin rule. The negation of sin rule is dominant on all provisions like dissimulation. Conclusion: The sanctity of abortion is not absolute and has exception from the perspective of the majority of Islamic jurisconsults. The sanctity of abortion is removed according to the negation of hardship and sin rules. The harassment of pregnancy in the womb, which leads to danger of mother’s life, can be licensed for abortion.

Today, psychologists consider the importance of religious and spiritual concerns in their work, whether in general or more specific in the case of psychotherapy. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate carefully the concept of spiritual intelligence in Islam and psychology.  Methods: The aim of this study was to explain the concept of spiritual intelligence in Islam and psychology, to use the Islamic authentic sources such as Quran and the authentic books of hadith and to study the perspectives of psychologists carefully.  Funding: Psychology and Islam do not use only one concept to describe the exact meaning of spiritual intelligence but they use some symptoms and characteristics to its interpretations. The certain words and methods are used in Islamic teachings and concepts that have the homogeneity and similarity in some cases and sometimes there is no the same perspective.

Findings: Regarding to incompatibility of human reproductive cloning and human dignity there are various arguments such as violation of human dignity in Asexual reproduction, Failure to maintain the uniqueness and individuality , Violating the dignity of embryo .But it should be said that there is not exact detailed expression on incompatibility of human reproductive cloning and human dignity. The survey in Islamic literature indicates that human reproductive cloning violated human dignity in different context. In quranic view the specification of the human who deserves the dignity is being as successor of God on the earth. Creation of such specification for human dignity is due to his or her physical and mental dimension of creation. But based on biological sciences the reproductive cloning provide disorders in reproduction of tissues and organs, weakening the human gene pool and changing in self recognition which lead to the violation of mental and physical dignity.
