Abstract One of the main issues in the present world which was discussed by thinkers is relation between spirituality and religions. Therefore the spirituality, religions and their roles and effects in society is the main matter which is studied in this paper. Hereby, the author explains and studies this issue at 3 parts: A) Spirituality and religiousness B) Spirituality and religions C) Spirituality, Religion and Social Interactions. Keywords: Spirituality, Religions, Social Interactions

Spirituality is one of the popular letters in the society. The religious thinkers and scientific use spirituality as this questions: a) what is Spirituality? What is the relation of spirituality and religions? …, and the there people in our society use spirituality such as; spirituality man, leader of spirituality. Hereby this word is introducer of one of the human Features which sometimes will be appear in the human behavior. Spirituality, religions and social interactions is one of the brandest subject in religion category. This paper tries to show the real relation between spirituality, religions for the first time in the world.

What is the Spirituality? Spirituality is comes from Spirit and spirit comes from Spiritus (Latin Word) means; breath and spirituse is one of the spirare radical means take a breath. Also in Latin translation and interpretation of New Testament spiritualis was appearances of a person who that the soul of God show his/her life path. At beginning stage of 5ht century spiritualitas or spirituality comes from bible, but at the end of 18th century and 19th century spirituality word had been gone. But at the opening year of 20th century by Christian writers (Catholic) this word has been alive.

Therefore based on previous discussion I try to show the meaning of spirituality and its position in our life. Also this paper is a new opened window to the world of religion and all spirituality meaning and definitions. In this paper we considered spirituality and religions at 3 basic subjects: Spirituality is not religion and religiousness. Spirituality is not Mysticism Difference between Spirituality and humanist psychologist theories. And that the end of this paper I will compare the classical theism (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) about spirituality positions. Is it necessary that I inform you which my conclusion is an own initiative for the first time. Spirituality is not religion ad religiousness: If you studied history of countries can learned that the most of them has a special religion or sect. but today the western school and their people has no tend to apply religion word and its subs. They are preferred to use spirituality. The last statistic which prepared by James Day at California University at Irvine, shows the most people tries to use spirituality instead of religions. According to interviewed which has been made by Clarck roof and his partners after the World War 2 with more than 100 people, most of them asserted and believed that spirituality and religiousness are separated. Based on latest discussion is good talk about religiousness and religions. My decision-making about religiousness is: Juridical Religiousness ( Fighh) The main role in this religiousness is jurisprudence (fighh) and the followers just attended to jurisprudence and its book, and their authors. Because in this method of prayer The individual aspect is powerful therefore we can find the weakest point of this method and path and with out any hesitate this path is not true and straight. Ethical Religiousness: This kind is a new combination from juridical books and sanctions + conscience, Ethic and humanization. Whereas I am a Muslim man let’s show you the real and ethical religiousness from PropheMuhammad (PBUH) point of views. (According to Behar- Al- Anvar)

A) Faithfully b) Kindly c) Marriage d) Self- confidence e) Patience f) Smelling g) Purification And ….

Spirituality is not Mysticism: At first we should divide mysticism to 4 parts: 1: Positivism Mysticism: Ibn-e- Sina was one of the followers of this method (Al EsharatTanbihat) 2: Negativism Mysticism: which are so harmful for young and non- experiential people? 3: Theorical Mysticism: Which just we learned and collected a lot of discussions and we noted them in our mind and this method is not complete. 4: Practical Mysticism: We discussed this subject at the below domains: Veda Medicine Yoga T.M Tibetan Mysticism. Ayurveda
