Abstract

The present research, which is a qualitative study based on content analysis, aims to determine the aspects of forming a conception of God through The Most Beautiful Names and present a conceptual model for studies on Islamic lifestyle and religious psychology. For this purpose, the Quranic verses and the well-known prophetic hadith which mentions 99 Names of God have been investigated. The results show that forming a conception of God by referring to The Most Beautiful Names considers two general aspects: first, the names which are realized by observing the Divine Essence taking into consideration none other than Him. Second, the names that refer to relation of God with the world of creation. This relation covers two areas: 1. the area of creation. 2. the area of Divine Command. The first includes the names that are related to creation and general structure of creation .These names are grouped under the headings: knowledge, ability, efficiency, savvy, protection, guidance and dominance. 2. The second includes the names that refer to the lordship of God and the relation between God and creation. These names are grouped under the headings: provider of facilities and interests, remover of obstacles and harms, control and auditing, aid seeking and aid-giving.

Bearing in mind the moral virtues about which one can find a verse or verses in the holy Qur’an, at first a collection of 150 questions were provided. Having achieved the formal validity of the questioner by teachers, the final sample was prepared and put to use 700 students of a high school and art schools in Isfahan were chosen on the basis of cluster sampling. The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient subscales show that teenagers’ moral-Islamic identity is of significant reliability. The results obtained by factorial probatory analyses in investigating the factorial design of measurement show that the seven factors show the variance 49.07. Also the indexes of factorial analysis show how well this model fits to moral-Islamic identity. Regarding the fact that all the questions of moral identity scale are based on certain verses of the holy Qur’an, they are the suitable means for measuring the established moral traits in Islam.

Results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between identity and religiosity styles and professional maturity at p<0.01. Commitment of identity is the main predictor (positive) and disoriented / avoiding identity styles are the negative predictors of professional maturity. Religiosity in the obligatory duties predicts professional maturity. In addition, the normative identity style and commitment of identity play a significantly positive role in the prediction of religiosity and its dimensions.
