SUBJECT & OBJECTIVES:  The analysis of the nature, characteristics, and differences of modern spiritualism with religious spirituality can be considered as one of the most important challenges and problems that have faced spirituality and mysticism. Today, the confrontation between modern spirituality and religious spirituality has become very colourful, such that modern spirituality seeks to discredit and contradict religious spirituality. Therefore, they mainly seek to present non-religious spirituality based on the inefficiency of religious spirituality. From the perspective of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Khāmeneī, religious spirituality is a ‘Revolutionary’ spirituality, which is equivalent to Jihadi spirituality, characterized by civilization, justice, revolution, epic, liberation from domination, martyrdom, and progressivism, as evident in his statements.METHOD & FINDING:  Using the analytical-descriptive method, the findings of the research indicate that the practical functions of Islamic spirituality based on the thought of the Supreme Leader combining the triad ‘spirituality, rationality, justice’ in the individual and family arena (lifestyle) are: prosperity and happiness, scientific growth, security, comfort and well-being, hope, independence and freedom, honour and dignity, Justice, financial well-being, heart luminosity which lead towards ‘good life.’CONCLUSION:  In the Islamic spirituality of Ayatollah Khāmeneī, the unity of materiality and spirituality is very prominent. In his careful inference, the way to achieve spirituality in the personal and family spheres is crucial, encompassing both worldly and material life, while it is considered the main pillar of leading a pure, Quranic life.

One of the Qur’an's most potent, indirect methods of guiding humanity is the use of the role model method, which provides both cognitive and emotional inspiration to lead individuals to a more elevated life. This approach is one of the cornerstones of both psychological and educational studies. This research delves into the Qur’anic portrayal of Asiya, seeking to identify the specific personality traits that make her a paragon for all believers. By understanding her character and behavioral patterns, we can establish a foundational framework for fostering a deeply rooted, faith-based lifestyle and enrich the corpus of Islamic educational literature. The central question guiding this study is: According to the Qur’an, what defining personality and behavioral traits characterize Asiya as a model of a devout believer? Our findings reveal ten key traits: wisdom; full submission to the truth; sincerity; loving and hating for the sake of God; Spiritual intimacy and prayers with God; high aspirations; independence and personal dignity; patience and perseverance; courage and sacrifice; prohibition of evil and defense of the oppressed. These traits converge, demonstrating a unified personality centered on unwavering faith. Considering the broader socio-cultural and political context of Asiya's life, our analysis positions her as not only a devout believer but also a significant socio-political role model. Her life and actions can provide a compelling model especially for the younger generation.
