The method of data collection is documentary from the main sources - the Qur'an and the Old Testament - as well as secondary sources - books and articles - and method of data analysis is based on adoption of micro-analysis model. The first findings of study showed that view of the Qur'an and the Old Testament on disorder of anxiety is basically based on separation of "worldly anxiety" from "otherworldly anxiety". The Qur'an, the Old Testament, and the new schools of psychology also agree on the division of anxiety into good and bad. Second finding shows that modern schools of psychology insist on secular methods of treating anxiety, while the most important methods of treating anxiety from a Qur'an and Old Testament perspectives are religious advice. Considering the findings of study, it seems that use of scientific solutions by psychologists combined with use of religious recommendations can be more effective in reducing anxiety.Masoumeh JavadianAli Hossein EhteshamiSeyed Hamid HosseiniComparative Education Society of Iran ( CESIR)articleanxietyquranthe new and old testamentcultural-social approachtreatment and causesEducationLENIranian Journal of Comparative Education, Vol 3, Iss 3, Pp 757-774 (2020)
