SUBJECT & OBJECTIVES: Educational experts have examined the importance of incorporating art and aesthetics into education. They argue that despite the well-documented benefits of art in achieving educational objectives across intellectual, emotional, religious, and ethical domains, its integration into educational settings remains incomplete. There is a need for extensive research on the effectiveness of artistic and aesthetic approaches in various educational curricula, including medical and higher education. In this regard, the present study aimed to investigate the impact of engagement with art and aesthetics on the intellectual, emotional, religious, and ethical education of artists’ lived experiences.METHOD & FINDING: The current research utilized a qualitative and phenomenological approach, focusing on diverse artists representing various art forms. The participants in this qualitative and phenomenological study were 19 artists from different fields of art in Kerman, a province of Iran, who were chosen via purposive sampling. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed with MAXQDA software (version 2021), using Colaizzi’s seven-step method. Artists’ experiences demonstrate that engagement with art and beauty triggers significant transformations in various aspects of life, influencing habits, preferences, modes of expression, and even appearance. The study shows that education involving art and beauty encourages reflection, thinking, understanding, and hands-on learning. CONCLUSION: Special attention should be paid to the relationship between art and beauty and its influence on formal and informal education. Moreover, the principles of aesthetics should be taken into consideration in curriculum planning and teaching, and classroom methods.

SUBJECT & OBJECTIVES: A significant body of research has consistently supported the effectiveness of spirituality-based interventions in influencing a range of psychological variables. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Iʿtikāf intervention on happiness and resilience in a group of adults.METHOD & FINDING: This quasi-experimental study adopted a pretest-posttest design with a control group and a one-month follow-up. The research sample consisted of 60 adult men and women, aged 18 to 60, from Sanandaj, Iran, in 2024. The participants were selected through convenience sampling and were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group (30 individuals per group). The participants in the intervention group attended a 10-night spiritual Iʿtikāf ceremony held in mosques. They completed the items in the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ-SF) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) at three pre-test, post-test, and follow-up phases. Results from the repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) indicated that the spiritual Iʿtikāf intervention significantly increased the participants' levels of happiness and resilience in the post-intervention phase, and these improvements were retained at the follow-up stage.CONCLUSION: Consistent with previous studies that have addressed the mental health benefits of spiritual interventions, the present study introduced Iʿtikāf as a spiritual intervention and a therapeutic option for enhancing the psychological well-being, specifically the happiness and resilience of adults.

This paper intends to give acquaintance of the Holy Quran perspectives on it rules. Customs plus societies are the points of focus in the paper with the aim of discovering their ideology of management. According to Muslims, natural belief, happiness and sorrow are to be the most important feelings in individuals and they must be experienced; hence, they need to be moderately managed. The Holy Quran provides various methods for managing human feelings. Muslims universally have a belief that the Quran is their ultimate source of knowledge. Muslims learn from the epistemology of the Quran how awareness is analyzed and managed. According to Islamic management, Islam not only covers the private life of individuals but also guides daily human activities (Fábos & Isotalo, 2014).

Compared to traditional media, an important characteristic of modern media is that it taps on electric and electronic means and it has extensive coverage. The most important characteristic of traditional media is that it creates a face-to-face communication between addresser and addressees. Modern media has its roots in modernism and is a direct consequence of modern societies. Modern media especially visual media represent the dominant values in the society and has altered the function of family toward more individualism, and individual behavioral patterns. Under the influence of modern media, families are losing their traditional function and are experiencing new functions. A function geared toward more individualism and catering for the individual needs of family members, a function that challenged the traditional dominant values of the family. Among all the contributing factors, modern media in their various forms and comprehensive advertisements, have played a pivotal role in internalizing characteristics of modern world and specially individualism among family members. The current study aims to investigate the new functions of family in accordance with the role played by visual media in the modern society.

There is no subject over time, as important as dialogue. This importance has multiplied many times in our time becausethe means of communication and talk shows have increased even satellite channels have become widespread. The unsuitable things and misguiding ideas an perverted beliefs broadcasted by these channels do not only affect our children, whether we like it or not, rather they burn everything and everybody in our communities as well due to the feelings of hostility and discrimination fed by these channels. In contrast, the dialogue remains the most important mean to encounter those misguiding attacks on one hand, and to spread guidance and the light of truth on the other hand. However it has its certain provisions and conditions, as they say , as is the case in any scientific work intended to be based on sound technical grounds so that it may be fruitful and achieve the required goals and objectives. Here comes the discussion about manners of dialogue and its ultimate necessity. We, by grace of Allah, have a great cultural, intellectual, ideological, social and political wealth based on the bases which are logical, Islamic and cultural and morally correct, which are represented by the Holy Quran and pure progeny of the Prophet (peace be upon them). They are our school and shelter in this life filled with fierce waves of wind which storm Islam from all sides. It is our duty to follow them and arm ourselves with their ideology and culture while facing the counterparty, in order to reach the truth in a technically right, peaceful and objective way which is based on bases of dialogue and its right manners by means of clear evidence and proofs, as Allah says {and argue with them in the best manner}( An-Nahl, 125). The research approach that we have chosen in this article, is composed of description and analysis, thus it is a analytical-descriptive approach. It is the approach generally used in most Islamic and social sciences. The most important results of our research and investigation in this article, include the following: 1. Dialogue is the key element in any informational interaction even if this interaction may be between minimum two people. 2. Based on the previous fact, the importance of dialogue in exchange of information and foundation of thought and civilization becomes clear. 3. Due to the extreme importance enjoyed by the dialogue, there must be special rules and regulations that control that element so that it may become fruitful and achieve the goals envisaged from it. 4. The best thing from which one can derive the foundations of dialogue and its manners is the Islamic culture represented the Holy Quran and its counterpart, that is the AhlulBayt (Peace be upon them). 5. The most important foundations of dialogue in the Islamic culture are: sincerity, respect and objectivity etc.

A number of Prophets had been raised from the generation of Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) whose followers have founded three main and alive religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) of the present time. The common thing between these three religions is their monotheism. Followers of these religions worship the God of Ibrahim (AS) and believe Him as a creator of them and the whole world. However, when we refer to the sacred texts of Jews and Christians, we see that the concept which is given by Torah and Gospel about God is completely different from that given by the Holy Quran and it is sometimes polytheistic. Now this question arises that what the cause of this inconsistency is. In this paper, by the help of library method and analytical–descriptive approach, principles of faith of monotheistic religions on the basis of unity of divine essence have been studied and an attempt to revise the unity of divine essence in the Holy Quran, unity of divine essence in the Testaments and the Holy Quran approach to the Testaments regarding unity of divine essence has been made. The result of this research showed that Torah and Gospel are acceptable by the Holy Quran but whatever is present nowadays with their name have been distorted and principles of faith contrary to monotheism have been added to them which have been criticized and rejected by the Holy Quran.

The subject of the research is the methods of Qur’an communication between the Sunnah and modernity, which is a link between the sacred Islamic past and the advanced scientific and technological present, taking advantage of the first prophetic foundations, the day the Messenger began to deliver the message by saying: “Say: No God but God is his wisdom, and his wisdom works.” And the circles of his city and the other cities he reached. A research that made the Prophet’s heritage, behavior, deeds and orientations the basis for continuing to communicate the Noble Qur’an and its various sciences at the present time, whose methods and style differed from the time of the Noble Prophet in everything. I believe that this research is of great importance for establishing a Quranic rhetorical approach consistent with the modern age. I used the word “communication” in the Qur’an in general, because the word “communication” is originally Qur’anic and Islamic, and it was used only in Islam. And offset by (evangelization, flags, and ...) among others. If the Qur’anic and Islamic communication in general is based on strong words, sound logic, the magic of the Qur’an and honorable conversations, then today - in addition to that - it is necessary to take advantage of what the present age has provided in terms of expertise, machines and equipment and the accumulation of knowledge in order to supplement the reporting process with mechanisms that increase the power of the reporting process. Our discussion here revolves around this communication and how to communicate the Qur’an and its various sciences to people and societies everywhere, relying on a number of scientific curricula, in the forefront of which is the applied field curriculum, which I relied on the most successful methods in communicating the Noble Qur’an, through my experiences, schools, and mosques. The believers, public and private councils, and more modern methods such as the use of devices and modern communication such as the Internet and phones, and the fast and useful programs in which the Qur’an and its concepts and everything related to its communication can reach the largest number of people and the most far away in the world, and I think this is the largest number of people in the world. A large number of people did not even take into account. I thought that the last chapter would be a detail to convey to the Messenger of God the Noble Qur’an and what is related to his sciences and what he bears in terms of orders, intentions and Islamic religious principles, so that it be a model for those who wanted to follow the path of the Messenger of God.

Choosing a lifestyle has many effects on life, so that on the one hand it can build Islamic civilization, and on the other hand, it will waste all of one's talents. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of cyberspace on lifestyle that was analyzed by descriptive-analytic method and by gathering data from theories and ideas left to study the effects of cyberspace on lifestyle and then analyze the data. According to the purpose of the study, it was discussed. The results show that cyberspace - directly and indirectly - has a profound effect on users 'lifestyles, since the main designers in cyberspace are self-promoters of the western lifestyle and the main purpose is to mark users' beliefs. Therefore, the Western lifestyle - despite its prosperity and level - contains profound challenges that do not represent a bright future. In the meantime, the expansion of monotheistic thinking in cyberspace seems to be the only way to dismantle the worn-out roots of the Western lifestyle, since the divine and Islamic lifestyle has shaped the monotheistic orbit of cyberspace, providing a platform for personal and social growth and excellence. It takes every effort and effort to revive and rebuild this important thing. At the end of the study, it has been suggested that given the profound and pervasive impact of cyberspace on lifestyle - in different functional dimensions of the individual - addressing this issue will be of particular interest to cyberspace policymakers, the Supreme Council of Cyberspace, and professors of religious content propaganda, To be.

Privacy is one of the most important issues in the field of Islamic law and ethics, which in Islamic law is related to the two concepts of justice and security; On the other hand, with the growth of information technology and the influence of communication networks and the impact on human actions and interactions - especially in higher education centers and universities - this concept has been more prominent in recent decades. Higher education and university cyberspace, on the one hand, have made academic relations extremely easy, and on the other hand, have made it possible to encroach on privacy not previously available to others. In this research, ethical norms in three areas of users, managers and processors of cyber content have been studied by the method of document analysis and documentary analysis and based on Quranic verses and Islamic traditions. The results indicate that the norms of Islamic ethics of privacy in cyberspace of higher education and university education are deeply linked to the general concepts of honesty, trustworthiness, confidentiality, commitment and privacy and can be a new step in explaining the ethical principles of privacy issues.

Cyberspace - Internet - is a new generation of social relations space. The positive and negative effects and consequences of cyberspace as a new phenomenon in human societies are constantly expanding. Cyberspace is a situation where the storage and transfer of information is very cheap and simple; Therefore, it is both a threat and an opportunity for the educational and moral atmosphere of the society. In this challenging environment, one must actively enter the field of information production and transmission in order to turn threats into opportunities or to reduce threats against opportunities. In the present era, which has turned the cyberspace of the world into a small village and connects the people of the world from different parts with different cultures and beliefs, the educational issues of children have faced challenges. In contrast, one of the effective tools to preserve and revive Islamic beliefs and education is cyberspace. The purpose of this study was to investigate the dimensions and capacities of cyberspace in order to raise children. This research with descriptive-analytical method and using library and Internet resources seeks to study and explain the various dimensions of cyberspace and education from the field of Islamic education to conceptualize education in cyberspace and its role as an important tool in today's societies. The results show that cyberspace has many potentials that if the conditions are provided and its creation will have significant effects on the formation of personality, especially children, and can be well used to achieve high religious goals.

Service with the right depends on rational and practical service; God Almighty designed the process of cultivating man from power to action in a good system, which is the training of the divine man and the necessity of man's actualization in the light of his individual and social life. The important tools at their disposal - the media - address this issue. The achievements of wisdom are the explanation of the issue of truth, because some of the later scholars defined wisdom as right; Then, by examining the dimensions of the subject, it is necessary to define a system of thought whose all sides are in harmony with wisdom. Accordingly, first we must define wisdom in the framework of ontology, which is the theoretical foundation of an issue, then in epistemology it is explained what its face and reason are, and the book, tradition, reason and consensus each rank the position of truth, respectively. Describe and prove. The third stage is the position of man as the divine caliph and its relationship with the truth. If wisdom is rightly explained and interpreted and given to man and society and the three sides of its theoretical foundations are determined, then the position of the media in this system of thought will be determined and the following questions will be answered in this research. Answer them:- What is the relationship between the right and the dignity of the media in guiding society and man as the divine caliph?- Does the media have a right in this system of thought, and if it has a right, does it also have duties?- What are the duties of the media in educating human beings and a just society?- What are the requirements of the media in this system?What is the difference between right in wisdom-based media and media rights issues in the West?

With the emergence and expansion of the communication industry and in line with it, the Internet as a global communication and information network, a new space in the field of life was created, which can be referred to by titles such as second space or cyberspace; A space whose use has positive and negative dimensions. The theoretical foundations of this study, which has been conducted with the aim of measuring the feasibility of cyberspace in creating and productivity of religious education, is to use the paradigm of dual space and conceptualize the difference between the characteristics of cyberspace and the components of religious education. The research method in the tradition of qualitative research is descriptive-analytical and with a critical perspective, which has been done in a library; Data collection tool is also taking notes from a collection of related works. Research findings show that the phrase "know yourself" is an example of the fact that in order to enter education - especially religious education - a person must first have a correct meaning of himself and then of others; Accordingly, space acceleration, pervasiveness, permanent accessibility, transcendence, transtemporality, universality, fluidity, augmentation of reality and multimedia are among the variables of this space that life in the second world, contemporary dual space life and also the sources of identity of individuals. Has affected. The result is that the problem of lack of authentic identity and factor with the influx of religious teachings in the virtual world has not been effective and has not resulted in anything other than achieving corticalism and formalism; Therefore, achieving the core of religious education is not very compatible with the components of the virtual world and companionship is eclectic.

The aim of this study is to explain the deepening aspects of religious education according to the hypertext approach with emphasis on the theory of poststructuralism so that it can contribute to increasing the basic knowledge in this field of knowledge. The research method is of fundamental-applied type while descriptive study is of documentary type. Research shows that metatherapy is not just an alternative medium; Rather, it is the production of dynamic knowledge that can replace hierarchical information transfer. Through metamaterialism, the ability to search intelligently and multiple times is provided, and the interdisciplinary relationships of the texts are strengthened, and dialogue and communication between religious sciences and knowledge become more important. In this regard, hypertext as a new cultural structure with various experiences, the possibility of exchange of views and dialogue between religions, content communication and interdisciplinary studies, fostering a critical approach and the emergence of various teaching methods and problem solving methods in religious education and training. It can play a facilitating role.

SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: The issue of the “Trinity” is one of the most important and complex doctrinal principles of the Christian world and because of the many intellectual and philosophical difficultas that this belief entails, Christian scholars have faced serious challenges and in interfaith dialogue, this issue is always mentioned as one of the problems that the Christian intellectual system and ideas face.METHOD AND FINDING: Many factors have been involved in the formation of the doctrine of the Trinity among christians, including the thoughts of Paul and Greek philosophy. The irrationality of the Trinity is now considered one of the prerequisites for the denial of Christianity among scholars of various religions. Therefore, recognizing the truth of the Trinity and the justifications of its acceptors along with examining the consequences of accepting the Trinity is one of the issues that this research which was carried out by a qualitative method and using library studies and reviewing of scientific documents, try to discover it.CONCLUSION: The results of this comparative research indicate the rejection of the doctrine of the Trinity based on the sources of monotheistic religions and rational arguments that show that this belief is not divine and is rooted in heresies that have entered the religion of early Christianity.

SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: Revelation as the relationship between God and the holy prophets of which provides conditions to receive and declare the divine message. It is a phenomenon occurring among religions so that in order to understand it, requires a departure from material calculations and an understanding the divine world; because the phenomenon of revelation can be comprehend in the relation to God and the divine prophets and is done through the role of the angel of revelation.METHOD AND FINDING: In this research, and according to the explained course, we try to study the nature of the phenomenon of revelation and the divine religions comparatively. For this purpose, a qualitative research method of library studies used for religious documents and sources. From this point of view, revelation is a phenomenon beyond the limit of human thought and scientific tools cannot recognize it as it will not experience or repeat again.CONCLUSION: In the process of receiving revelation, the Prophet, in a heavenly relationship, receives truths from the unseen world by his heart, it occurs without the support of his organs and senses, and without the power of his thought and intellect. Therefore, some people believe in that the truth of revelation is unknown to man and it is not possible to provide a comprehensive definition for it. At the same time, what has been said try to bring the human mind closer to this phenomenon and spiritual connection. Therefore, the possibility of recognizing the nature of revelation does not require denying the principle of revelation and prophecy of the prophets, Because revelation and prophecy is a theological issue that has been confirmed by conclusive proofs.

SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: The difference between how people view atheism varies in the world, in the west, Atheism is seen to be a normalised topic which is accepted by many people whereas in the East, heavily criticised. The openness in western societies with the spread of free secular materialistic thought occurred after the Enlightenment period, has pushed people towards the concept of atheism, especially in the younger generation.METHOD AND FINDING: The East has much harsher rules when dealing with the influx of atheism where some countries believe death by execution is the solution. This pushed them to westernised way of thought where they began to fight Islamic beliefs, and of course under the support and protection of western regimes that they used as tools against Islam, many managed to flee their countries and go to the west as they consider that religion restricts and prevent them from achieving their goals, while atheism makes them free from all values and allows the achievement of freedom, without any restrictions.CONCLUSION: The Spread of Atheism in the Muslim countries stems from western atheism. It is thought that the increase of East atheism is due to cultural, intellectual, educational, psychological, political, social, and religious reasons and it is our duty as Muslims to find out why this is and how to solve it from the concept of Islamic beliefs the same way Imam Sadiq would by adopting a logical concept to convince the atheists during their theological debates and arguments. Due to their lack of evidence, it was not long before their theories were being disproved with one example being from the famous British philosopher Anthony flew was a strong advocator for atheism wrote a book called “There is a God” in the later days of his life.

SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: As Muslims, we find inner peace in the remembrance of our Creator ”Zikr”. People search for peace in many things; Some of them try to find calmness and serenity in reading books. Whether it’s non-fiction, fiction, or the many genres available, they seek peace in reading them. Perhaps it is a book on crime investigation, or mysterious and fantasy worlds. We must remind ourselves that reading the Quran and traditions and Bible proves for us that the key for the world peace and any external and real peace is the inner peace.METHOD AND FINDING: Those who want to be peace makers and peace keepers should be able first to make peace within themselves and with themselves then they are able to be activists in the field of peace. Our religious leaders and saints were real peace makers and peace keepers because they had merely this capacity. When we read about life of our Prophet and the household we find that all of them were prominent peace makers.CONCLUSION: Examples mentioned in this research are the glorious messenger of God Muhammad and Imam Ali and Imam Hassan and Imam Hussein and Imam Mahdi and Bible. Also some verses of Holy Quran and traditions are surveyed here and also some opinions of modern and contemporary Psychologists are cited for more certainty.

SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: The study of the human soul was considered by philosophers since ancient times and eastern philosophers especially Indian had believed that the human soul is eternal and for thousands of years transmigrates into various bodies and eventually it would disappear in Brahma’s essence. The most important school of Upanishadic Indian philosophy that is called Vidanta has this theory about the soul. Another school under study is the transcendent wisdom of Sadr al-Muta'allehin. With this description, Are the theories of both philosophical schools about the soul, the same or different? If there are differences, how should the theories of the Upanishads be criticized on the basis of the Transcendent Wisdom?METHOD AND FINDING: This article is a comparative one and is a new work in this ground, and the main sources of this research are the four journeys of the Transcenddent Wisdom of Mulla Sadra and The Sirri-Akbar of Dara Shikoh. The Upanishads is the first and ancient book of Indian philosophy explains; the soul is present in all parts of the human body and all body powers are manifestations of the soul, and the soul has unity with its all powers. The same claim is made by Transcendent Wisdom of Sadr al-Mute'allihin in Islamic philosophy. He says: The soul in its unity, is the whole of the powers and is present in all body.CONCLUSION: This article will compare the theories of two schools and the major ideas which will be discussed are; The Definition of the Soul, its Proofs, The Immateriality of the Soul, The Relationship between the Soul and the Body and its Powers, The Eternity and Creation of the Soul, The Immortality and the Reincarnation of the Soul.
