چکیده

 The Holy Quran is the book of blessings, a source of guidance and the last divine religious scripture for the Muslims. The exhilarating recitation of the Holy Quran and its listening play a significant role for physical and psychological health. One of the purpose of this study was to develop a scale to measure Quranic practices. The present study also explored the relationship between religious orientation, Quranic Practices and Psychological well-being. The sample of one hundred university students, who participated in this study and aged between 18 to 23 years, was taken. Three self-administered scales – the Religious Orientation Scale (Gorsuch & Mc Pherson, 1989), the Psychological Well-Being (PWB) scale (Diener & Biswas-Diener, 2009) and the newly constructed Quranic Practices scale (Khan,Z.H) – were used to measure religious orientation, psychological wellbeing and Quranic practices respectively. For statistical analyses of the data Pearson product-moment correlation was applied and the results validated the assumptions that Quranic practices were positively associated with religious orientation and psychological wellbeing. The implication along with recommendation for future research are proposed where a stress management model using Quranic text could be applied for a sounder psychological health of students.
