Objectives:Death is the only definitive phenomenon in life, and everyone is sure that it will happen in the future. Based on the philosophical perspective, the concept of death differs in different cultures. The purpose of this study was "explaining the difference between the concept of death from the perspective of theology and empirical science". Methods:In this qualitative evolutionary study, a targeted review was conducted to answer the question "what is the difference between the concept of death from the perspective of theology and empirical science?" Articles published between 1990 and 2018 were extracted from the PubMed, science direct, google scholar, SID, and Cochrane databases. At the same time, Islamic religious evidence (Quran and Hadiths) was investigated for understanding the concept of the death in Islam. The "Shia Seminary" research methodology was used to avoid interpretations of the Quran verses and to ensure the authenticity of the Hadiths.Findings: Empirical sciences consider death as a biological phenomenon, which results from irreversible damage to cerebral hemispheres and brain stem (brain death) that causes grief process, fear, anxiety, and sadness. From the perspective of Islam, death is an existential phenomenon, the transfer of the soul from one world to another.Death is the complete reception of the soul from the body by the angels and the beginning of another life, in the "world of grief. Conclusion:Given that in Islam, death does not mean destruction. It is imperative that the spiritual counselors teach the patient and the family about the life after death and the blessings of paradise. In pastoral care at the end of life, reducing patients' anxiety and fear of death, with hope in God's mercy is necessary.

Introduction: Spiritual Pathology is the study of disturbing factors in the relationship between man and God, the process of disruption in secure attachment to God, which causes spiritual distress in relation to self, people, and the world of creation.Areas covered: Balbi defines attachment as deep emotional bond with special people in life, whose interaction brings security, joy and happiness, and their presence brings peace in times of stress. Kirkpatrick generalized the style of attachment to parents to attachment to God. Expert opinion: In the Sound Heart Model, worship is natural need. The basis of religion is secure attachment to God. Secure attachment to God is belief in the presence and sufficiency of God, as a responsive safe haven. The basis of attachment to God is positive image of God and “recognizing the truth of religion” by the Prophet. The Prophet, as interpreter of Qur’an and spiritual role-model, has healthy spiritual personality. Acceptance of religion, at the time of intellectual maturity, should be done without imitation and coercion, based on knowing the truth of religion, with a free and informed choice. Spiritual pathology is the study of socio-cultural factors that cause misunderstanding of religion, negative image of God and insecure attachment to God.

“…It introduces the illness and problems of life as a divine test that can be tolerated by faith in God's mercy [57] and introduces spirituality as an important factor in coping with life stressors and to sooth anxiety and depression [58]. Given that people with spiritual health (sound heart) are immune from future fears and anxieties and regrets about losing blessings, they live in the present time, with patience and "thankfulness" [59].…”

The Goldberg Depression Questionnaire was completed by both control and intervention groups before and after the intervention. Results. There was no significant difference in mean scores of depression between the intervention and control groups before intervention (p = 0.604). After the intervention, the difference was significant (p = 0.000). There was no statistically significant difference in mean scores of depression in the control group before and after the intervention (p = 0.259), while this difference was significant in the intervention group (p < 0.001).
