This study aimed to compare the lifestyle of mothers who were memorizers of the Quran with that of those who had not committed the Quran to memory. This was a descriptive, correlational research. The population of the study comprised mothers who were memorizers of the Quran as well as those who had not committed the Quran to memory in Tehran. The sample consisted of two groups. In the first group, 92 mothers who had memorized at least 3 parts (Juz’) of the Quran and attended Quran recitation and memorization classes at Quran learning centers in Tehran (Sahbay-e Malakout, Daroltahfiz-e Quran, Maktabol Quran and Mahammad-e Amin) were randomly selected. Moreover, 88 mothers who had not taken part in any Quran recitation and memorization classes were selected on a non-random basis. The second group was relatively similar to the first one in terms of demographic characteristics and socio-economic status. The instruments included Lifestyle Questionnaire (La’li, Abedi & Kajbaf, 2012) and a self-devised Islamic Lifestyle Questionnaire. The content validity of the instruments was confirmed by experts and the measures had acceptable levels of reliability based on Cronbach's alpha coefficients. The obtained data were analyzed by using independent samples t-test. Result demonstrated that the two groups were different with regard to various components of lifestyle. Quran memorizers attained higher scores on subscales of spiritual health, social health, Islamic lifestyle, and abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Thus, it can be concluded that attending Quran recitation and memorization classes can be effective for lifestyle modification
