Background and purpose: Religious evidence by introducing Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH) and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as spiritual leaders validates model-oriented education and emphasizes the Prophet's dedication to the spiritual education of people. The scientific evidence of spiritual education in the stages of faith development requires the attention of parents, teachers, and religious missionaries to the stages of development (cognitive-emotional-social) and human needs (security, love, respect). This study was conducted with the aim of explaining the interventions of spiritual training in the stages of faith growth based on the lifestyle of the Prophet of Islam. Materials and methods: In a combined study, based on the model of Krusel et al. (۲۰۰۳) with an exploratory-explanatory approach, qualitative data obtained from: non-systematic review and conventional content analysis of scientific evidence related to prophetic life, theories of stages of faith growth, religious identity, religious education were combined with quantitative data of clinical applications of the spiritual care protocol of the healthy heart (Qalb-e Salim) theory in Islamic spiritual health. The validity of the meta-inferences of the research was measured in the quantitative data section through internal-external validity, in the qualitative data section with reliability or capability index. Findings: Spiritual education is a family-centered process, throughout life and requires benefiting from the lifestyle of spiritual health models. Education should be implemented based on a society-oriented theory (in harmony with the beliefs of the people of the society). Spiritual counselors in health care centers are obliged to deepen spirituality in society. They should provide spiritual health services according to the periods of growth and development and human needs. In the place of the role model (spiritual mentor), by establishing spiritual communication with the help of art and media, create a spiritual attitude to the world (attention to the realm of the universe) and strengthen spiritual motivations. Pay attention to the influence of religion knowledge, family behavior, educators and missionaries, peers' views, virtual space, custom and social patterns on spiritual education.
