About the Journal

Journal of Human Sciences and Religious Spirituality (JHSRS) provides an outstanding opportunity to disseminate the most recent and novel research findings in the realms of religious spirituality and humanities & social sciences interest fields. Religious Spirituality referred to a religious process of re-formation which "aims to recover the original shape of man", oriented at "the concept of God" as exemplified by the founders and sacred texts of the religions of the world. Integrating spirituality and religion into human and social sciences has become significant and this is largely due to the fact that one of the most important goals of these sciences is to respond to various human needs. Because it seems that religious and spiritual beliefs are individual identities and central to personal worldviews. Spiritual values such as hope, faith, and altruism can help people deal with adversity and cope with suffering and illness. Religions provide people with a language of hope and ways of understanding their suffering. Spirituality is the dynamic and inherent dimension of humanity. There is evidence that people would prefer that their spirituality and religion be approached through science and scientific enterprise such as psychotherapy.

Considering the origin of the existence and dissolution of human doubts about God can create a source of trust and hope for the people that leads to emotional stability, behavioral adjustment, rational thinking, control and guidance of imagination, the regulation and sustainability of interpersonal relationships, and the improvement of healthy lifestyles. A person is balanced (pure, healthy, harmonious, unified, and lacks shortages) and worthwhile, according to the concepts that God gives him in order to achieve perfection and fulfillment of his being. Adaptation of action with reality starts by modifying beliefs about God and the self. This move leads to the reformation of the God-Image and its transformation into a God-concept, and the transformation of self-image into self-concept provides a basis for consistent mental health.
"God oriented spirituality" (God-OS) emphasizes the spiritual process. The important concept in God-OS is a spiritual act. This is the process of formation of spiritual identity. The scope of action is very wide in the innate existence of people, so the emergence and manifestation of human action in the fields of sensory perception, language, dreams, and social systems can be mentioned. In God-OS, since God created balanced people, they have the power to distinguish good from evil (Qur'an, 91:7-8). They can always distinguish the best works from the better (Qur'an, 67:2). Here, spirituality is defined as the intellectual regulation of actions or works (both internal and external) between the faith in Origin and the resurrection (psychologically, the belief that one day we will fully confront to our actions and we get the feedback of all our actions). Such regulating will have a healthy identity-building, meaningful, valuable, and purposeful for us. Put simply, 'religious spiritualities' are traditions with a combination of all or most of the following: a framework of transcendent beliefs in God (monotheism), foundational texts or scriptures, symbol systems, some visible structure, public practices, and sacred spaces.

JHSRS seeks, as the first of its kind, to search for the function and realization of these religious spiritualities in the fields of humanities and social sciences and in this way it pursues these aims: 1) The contribution of human sciences to the challenges of contemporary religious spirituality and vice versa, 2) To delineate the relationship between religion, spirituality, and the human sciences and positing spirituality as the link between religion and human and social sciences, and explanation and development of "God oriented spirituality" in the realm of human sciences.

Hence, JHSRS intends to broaden and advance the authentic research and distinct knowledge based on the following all-inclusive research domains with the cooperation of researchers worldwide.
​
The journal’s audiences and correspondent community are Higher education policy-makers (Members of the governments, parliaments, and ministries), University governing boards (Senate, Trustees, and Directors) and Higher education stakeholders (Administrative bodies, Academic staff, Researchers, Students, Parent, and anyone who is interested in interdisciplinary subjects in humanities and social sciences and religion studies.)
