Abstract
This paper explored level of spiritual and psychological well-being of Muslim staffs at International Islamic College. Dein (2007) defined religion as collections of beliefs, practices, and institutions related to spiritual matters and spirituality as experiences and beliefs about higher meaning, intelligence, and purpose to existence and life. Both are fundamentally related to the discipline of psychology, and our psychological conceptions and comprehension of spirituality and religion influence our physical, emotional, mental, and social health and evolution. Clearly, one can be spiritual without being part of an organized religion. Spirituality is about enjoying the benefits of a connectedness with one’s innermost self, as well as seeking one’s place and purpose within the broader universe. Thus spirituality is a mighty, cohesive force within the individual, and within our humankind. This study involved 100 respondents from various departments in International Islamic College.
