Abstract
The most sublime theme in describing a healthy life based on the Islamic-Iranian model is the beautiful Quranic word “Hayat Tayyiba.” This phrase means living in the way of God and achieving high goals, reaching the truth, attaining nearness to the Almighty, and embodying divine morality. In this way of life, material comfort and well-being are realized along with spiritual development, progress, and ascension. A healthy lifestyle encompasses religious customs, instructions, and comprehensive health recommendations for living well and leading a purposeful, joyful life free from disease or abnormality. Healthy social behavior and a good way of living form the foundation of human happiness. Emphasizing justice in health and its social determinants will enhance social health and other aspects of well-being while preventing the emergence and development of risk factors for diseases. This significant social achievement will, in turn, ensure, maintain, and enhance security in society. Embracing a healthy lifestyle with an Islamic-Iranian approach will result in a balanced and meaningful personal life, and its impact on social life will contribute to society's attainment of security, order, and participation.
