For assessing the status of religious components of a researcher-designed questionnaire was used. Forty materials in this questionnaire, subject's rate their agreement with each statement based on Lykrt scale of very low to very high (the continuous1 to 5) clarifies.

Also Hajilu (1386) credit this questionnaire using the alpha Krvnbakh 0/84 has reported. In this study, total credit test using alpha Krvnbakh 0/93 through coefficient Spearman - Brown 0/90 and using the coefficient of this experiment /085 Data analysis was performed by spss software. To determine the accept or reject the hypothesis test, Pearson correlation, t-test and multiple regression were used.

Conclusion

One of the important discussions of the new series of psychological is factors on mental health. Among these factors, today's actions and religious faith as one of the two components has been considered of effective mental health. Alport[10] (1966) believes that a healthy personality to reach deep religiosity is required. From believes that living means to live is parturient. (13)To Meier[11] (2003) religious beliefs, reduces mental stress and physical disease which is healing. (14) Was based on studies by Gartner[12] (1986) who continuously shall participate in charitable and religious programs to participate in the life of other people feel happiness is a positive attitude to themselves and others and are enjoy full social life and throes are any skills that psychologists now say the emotional intelligence. (15) Theory of emotional intelligence to predict new perspectives about the success factors and primary prevention provides of mental disorders. So that study findings by coping (1997) shows that people with high emotional intelligence can avoid social isolation and loneliness situation and suffer less depression and emotional and psychological causes alone. Relations of these people and enjoy social link to other individuals and religious beliefs are more committed to ethical criteria. (16) The results of this study indicated that the relation between the status of religious and emotional intelligence of students, indicate the relationship are between these two variables. These findings with reports concluded Brown (2000) also has convergence. He concluded his study of religion play an important effect of increasing social skills. These people have to think positive and others are in relationship with others they feel are responsible. (8) As Young and colleagues (2007) says adherence to religious practice in their Spiritual Knowledge and control feelings of stress management is effective and appears to be these people in terms of superior social skills to significant others have had to pay the other religious people in increasing social skills is effective. (12) This study showed between religious practice and emotional intelligence has a significant relationship between the students.

On the other hand the components defined as a statement of religious belief, which the general world situation and people will identify. Such are expected are those with religious beliefs to their creation and the world, have knowledge and attitude of the same factors significant to their lives and feel less frustration and disappointment in living. Study findings also show the existence of a significant relationship is between religious beliefs and emotional intelligence. Kimberly study confirm these findings (2005) also shows that people believe in religion with optimism is a significant relationship these people through their knowledge, their feelings of management and less causes experienced frustration and hopelessness. (9)

The results of data analysis indicated that religious austerity with any of the components of emotional intelligence has not a significant relationship. Religious austerity, control or influence that is arbitrary in his parents instead of one must decide, and he asked the parents act and comment. These findings confirm the study by Mohammadi (1382) shows that the rigidity of religious person there under pressure and force parents to do deals with obligatory religious, ability to cope with the emotions and thoughts and not your behavior and also such individuals are unable from freely expressing feelings, beliefs and logical defense of their rights. (17)

In simple measurement of religious Data also showed that these variables with any of the components of emotional intelligence have not significant meaning relationship. Study of Lofty (1386) shows the simple lack of support for making religious and spiritual light a role parents encourage children in the obligatory Religious Practices and development of religious beliefs is low. He also studied the two variables measured simple religious and emotional intelligence has not come to get a significant relationship. Conclusion that grows emotional intelligence through religious education is possible.
