Islam as a complete way of life, while pays attention to the patterns of human behavior, is also concerned with his/her habitats or a place for living and working. In other words, Islam has created an inseparable link between wordily and spiritual life. Therefore, designing and the location of the most important public places of an Islamic city such as mosques, schools, and even the market and green spaces, regardless of providing livelihoods, invites citizens to attend the mentioned places. Accordingly, the design of every urban space in accordance with the religious worldview must be in a way that prevents the neglect of the remembrance of God and helps an individual to fulfill the obligatory duties and observe the recommended religious values. The present paper examines the impact of urban land use (mosque, school, store and housing) on the development of Islamic values (security, peacefulness, spirituality, justice and social interactions) in the district one of Urimia municipality, which has some favorable conditions (in terms of per capita space of land use and having an urban new area).The research method is descriptive-practical and data collection is library-base, besides the usage of a questionnaire. Based on our results, there is a meaningful relationship between the location of public places and Islamic values. In terms of regression analysis, neighborhood has the highest and school has the lowest coefficient of determination in Islamic values.
