•Worldwide: Religious; Moral; Believe Values; Ethics; Mediation; contemplation; Self; Nature, Devine & cosmos or unitary Universe

• As Muslims, we strongly belief that Allah” the Only God created ‘Adam’ in a perfect shape and manner, in optimum state of a human ‘person’, with perfect body including miracles’ Heart, Mind, and Spirit the top wonder secrete. History of medicine discovered many of these miracles mainly body with mind and heart and unstable ideas about spirit, moral and ethics. The best structure can be summarized in:

4. Conclusion & RecommendationsAs the first as national and regional level, this results of this study achieved its objectives. It explore that ethics have a place in the most popular national HPE colleges and programs. However, one course means ethic place is low compare to its significance amongst 347 (100%) of the surveyed health professionals. Further, 344 ( 99.14%) support my nation that 'there is no quality without ethics'. Finally, the study asserts urgent action to move ethics from culture to professional practice and education. This claim can be applied soon by introducing more than one course in the curriculum of all health professions education programs, plus developing national laws or codes of conduct, and national codes of ethics are very essentials for every profession, not one for all .
