description Background: Given the importance of students&rsquo; mental health, this study aimed to investigate the role of Islamic lifestyle (ILST) in predicting emotional disturbances of university students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on students at University of Mohaghegh Ardabili during 2013 to 2014. A total sample of 200 students were selected by convenience sampling method. Participants completed ILST questionnaire and depression anxiety stress scale (DASS-21). Data were analyzed using correlation coefficient and multivariate linear regression method. Results: A total of 173 students including 96 men and 80 women were participated. ILST was inversely correlated with depression (r=-0.52, P-value <0.001), anxiety (r=-0.35, P-value<0.001), and stress (r=0.38, P-value<0.001). In multivariate model, ILST was independently associated with emotional disturbances. Conclusion: This study showed significant association between Islamic lifestyle and mental health. Therefore more attention should be paid to students&rsquo; tendencies to Islamic lifestyle. &nbsp;
