Abstract
The present paper aims at explaining the differences of human`s behavior in the realm of Islamic paradigm in comparison with other psychological approaches. To this end, Islamic sources, such as holy Quran and narrations as well as psychological approaches were analyzed. Using a descriptive -analytic method, the preliminary findings were analyzed. The findings show that psychologists want to discover the rules that govern mental organizations. However each psychologist dealt with human`s behavior by ontological, anthropological, axiological, epistemological and methodological assumptions. Due to this, the followers of different paradigms, even the people of the paradigm have some conflicting views on a certain topic. This indicates the fact that scientific statements of the psychologists are paradigmatic. The compliance with the psychological statements or the psychologists` finding about the subject is in relationship with the compliance with paradigmatic components. Explaining human`s behavior within the framework of Islamic behavior can: 1. Be different with the psychological findings, 2. Psychological findings in the framework of Islamic paradigm have more validity. Because this paradigm is based on revealed sources.
Key words: human`s behavior, Islamic paradigm, Islamic psychology.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to describe the perceived spiritual identity among Muslim Iranian university students. To this end, by theoretical sampling method, 20 students (between 18 to 29 years old) were chosen from University of Tehran and were interviewed individually. The data were analyzed based on grounded theory design. The findings show that spiritual identity, at the early adulthood, could be classified on five components: cognitive cores of spirituality (belief on transcendent power, life purposefulness, compensation, essence, religion), transcendent relational with the elements (relationship with God, the infallibles, others, self and nature) and valued-moral behavior, stewardship and mission, and religious traditions. Based on the findings, we can define spiritual identity as a conscious and unconscious relation with the world based on cognitive cores of spirituality that creates a dynamic selection of moral –valued behavior, purposeful life and commitment to religious traditions.
Key words: spiritual identity, beginning of adulthood, grounded theory.

Abstract
Three family functions from the perspective of Qur'an are tranquility, amity, and mercy. Couple`s functioning based on these three dimensions seem to have a great impact on marital satisfaction and divorce rates. Using content analysis and semi-structured interviews among women in Arak city in the year 1393, this descriptive study was performed. The sampling method was purposeful and sample size was 24 patients, of whom 12 women were seeking divorce and 12 women were not.
The results of study showed that women seeking divorce were scored lower in satisfaction of sexual and basic needs in tranquility dimension, verbal and non-verbal expressions of love in amity dimension, and cooperation, participation and forgiveness in mercy dimension than women who were not seeking divorce.
The more couples act effectively in tranquility, amity, and mercy dimensions, the more they will experience a better and more organized relationship which decreases the rate of divorce and marital conflicts.
