All the better development of social right relations among people living in one society, is dependent upon providing and presenting social education based on culture, believes and educational policies of the society. Because our society culture is culture of Islam, it is duty of Islam followers especially authorities of education to explain and describe ideal social education according to Islamic basics.In order to meet such an aim, the present article, first, provides a definition for social education on the basis of Imam Ali (Pbuh) and then, it extracts as well as explains basics and foundations of social education based on Nahj-ol-Balagheh.It is among applied studies, and to analyze information, method "content analysis" has been used. It is important to note that this method aims at highlighting axes of one subject, or one text with the purpose of analyzing, explaining and presenting situations.

One of the main topics which any religious and philosophical ideology deals with it is nature of human and his perfection. In this regard, various ideologies have different attitudes on this topic. Viewpoint of divine religions especially Islam in relation to human is holistic. They believe that human perfection is dependent upon balanced development of all his aspects.One of the most recent approaches in humanities and psychology is humanism, which compared to old ones, believes in much attention for human; the issue that it is also emphasized by Islam. However, in spite of similarities between these two standpoints, some discrepancies can be indicated. In this article, first, we examine views of humanism psychologists particularly Ragers on human nature and perfection. Then, we indicate Islam viewpoint based on Koran verses. Finally, using a comparative approach, we discuss on similarities and differences of these two viewpoints in association with human nature.

Case studies on women and men who have had conflict in their common life indicate that unrealistic attitudes to marital life, weakness of ethics, lack of relation skills and lack of information about sexual problems all have affected their life. Also, research shows that right and exhaustive educations on life goal, attitudes and believes, ethical as well as relation skills and familiarity with sexual problems, have good mental education impacts on couples and have been effective in conflict reduction and improvement of their relations.This article aims to study results of Tradition-based educations in mentioned fields on 20 spouses (10 couples) who have referred to Center of Islamic Research and Counseling (located in Qom) and participated in such courses.Methodology: After diagnostic interview and doing pre-test, couples were given necessary education in group or individually. Then, a post test was performed. The first post-test was done two weeks after education and the second was done after five weeks. Afterwards, a comparison was made between findings of first post-test and pre-test. Furthermore, the second posttest was compared with the first one.The comparison of findings demonstrates that psychological educations were effective in the improvement of couples' relations and reduction of their conflicts. In addition, the present study indicated that even education of either spouses (man or woman) has been also effective in reducing conflict of their marital life. Also, it was found that such educations have had long term influences on reduction of conflict between couples.

The future is a concept which thinking on it is necessary and fascinating for all. Individuals would like to know: how destiny of world will happen.What purposes and plans should human has for the future? Due to available development in various arenas, will human reach to justice, security and welfare? How current occulted events and situations can be utilized for providing future activities with the quality? Today, understanding the future and making a realistic visualization from it seems necessary. Since God, the resourceful and aware, has prudently designed the world, he has admittedly provided human with futuristic landscapes, leading him to a light road.Therefore, familiarity with such landscapes and acquiring right knowledge about them can playa fundamental role in orientating and qualifying insight, attitude, tendency, activities and behavior of human. Hence, the present writing aims firstly to identify concepts mentioned in Islam lessons which they indicate concept "futurism" explicitly as well as tacitly and then, explain their educational impacts on individual and social aspects.

According to Imam Ali (Pbuh), each member of a society is considered as a member of Islamic nation and they have a deep intimate relationship and mutual rights to each other.Social education also aims to create unity and solidarity among Muslims, encourages people to make effort in association with society affairs, to consider others' right with justice and fairness, to have cooperation and collaboration in social affairs and to make kindly relationships with others.That is why, this writing studies concept, objectives, principles and methods of social education based on Nahj-ol-Balagheh viewpoint.

The present research aims to investigate Qazali's philosophy and extract his educational opinions. To do this, using existing resources, Qazali' s thoughts and philosophical methods have been examined to highlight his philosophical fundamentals so that status of Islamic philosophy compared to Greek and western philosophy can be illustrated and also, it can be determined that how Islamic scientists' opinions on education particularly children education are useful in contemporary time and consistent with modern educational theories.Results demonstrate that Qazali's school of thought and philosophy, in spite of having some similarities with other Islamic and western philosophers, is unique. Because, based on his fundamental skepticism as well as Islamic literature and opinions, he has criticized most of philosophers' opinions even Islamic philosophers' and also via religious subtlety and following Koran and Tradition has offered some reasons against them. In fact, Qazali's philosophy is more critical than productive. However, his educational theories have led to significant developments in the world of Islam and even some of them are currently used by professionals of children education.
