Important issues such as the proper relationships between the spouses in marriage and in various aspects، including behavioral dimension، are of necessary cultural needs of each society for the protection of the family to which both science and religion have paid attention. Also، certain foundations and characteristics in both areas have been suggested for this topic. This research aims to study the ethical principles suggested by the Quran for regulating the behaviors of Muslim spouses. In this paper، using the deductive-analytic method، the good companionship or as the Quran says، socializing with Ma’ ruf، was selected as the pivotal ethical principle suggested by the Quran for treating the spouses. This principle can contain all the spouses’ s treatment towards each other. Also in this paper it has been concluded that all the spouses’ behaviors can be a subset of the three concepts of reverence، negligence and opposition each of which is considered an ethical principle by itself.

Within the lifestyle of the Shiite eighth Imam، Ali bin Musa al-Reza، very delicate and thoughtful referring has been made to the components of human morality which indicate how profoundly he would ponder as an Imam and how precious they can be in the Islamic society. Such teachings can be very rich sources used in nurturing the next Muslim generation. Also، in the poetry of Abi al-'Atahiyah، the poet of the Abbasid time، the same moral contents can be traced، the issues which reflect the political، economical، and cultural situation of the society of that time and can also be reminiscent of the verses of the Quran and the Imams' pure thoughts. The purpose of this comparative study which was done through descriptive-analytical method، is to investigate the ethical approaches taken towards a perfect man in the light of Imam Reza's precious sayings and Abi al-'Atahiyah's wise poetry.

The possibility of variability is one of the fundamental issues discussed in the ethics. The fact that human moral values can be varied may have important consequences and will affect issues like individual and social moralization and salvation-centered life and other educationl subjects. Thus، the experts of ethics have paid attention to it beside other ethical and educational topics. In this study the subject of variability of ethics from the perspective of Ragheb Isfahani will be discussed. Ragheb believes that man's moral-orientation is based on both his nature and education. The ethical behaviours stemming from education can become man's secondary nature. The morality which is based on the nature can either occur through God's grace or other natural causes. The term divine grace indicates a specific tendency of Ragheb in avoiding exclusivism. He argues that if a man's moral system is the result of divine grace and natural factors، the man's moral values will never vary. But in the latter mood، since man's qualities are rooted in his habits and are gained through education، they can be varied or modified. In this regard، Ragheb is in agreement with the view accepted by Aristotle، Galen، Stoics and Ibn Miskawayh. He points to other factors as well. Ragheb's suggested process of this subject and the criticisms of his arguments have been included in this article.

The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between socio-moral responsibility and belief in a just world and belief in an unjust world. Research method was correlation، statistical population was the students of Islamic Azad university of Najafabad and Esfahan (Khorasgan) branches، and sample group consisted of 374 students (male and female) which were randomly selected with the use of two stage sampling. Sampling was done in a way that in the first، two classes were selected from each department، and then with respect to male and female students at both universities، the final sample was randomly selected. Research questionnaires were socio– moral responsibility scale (Collin، 2006)، belief in a just world for self and others questionnaire (Sutton & Douglas، 2005)، belief in an unjust world questionnaire (Dalbert et al، 2001) and general belief in a just world questionnaire (Dalbert، 2001). Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression analysis. The results showed that there are significant relationships between some dimension of socio-moral responsibility and some aspects of belief in a just world and belief in an unjust world. The results of regression analysis showed that only belief in a just world for others has significant predictive power for the prediction of responsibility toward promise and total socio-moral responsibility.

The relationship between men and women existed from the beginning of creation and the human being has gained much of his knowledge about his gender identity in relationship with his opposite sex. Thus، it can be said that the concept of gender and the differences between men and women has always been the subject of attention within all societies. The present study using the exalted teachings of Islam is seeking to derive the proper messages out of the sex differences considered by Islam in education، since these teachings are devoid of any deviation and can be regarded as the best means for taking human being to the salvation. For this purpose، the Quranic verses and Imams' sayings in this regard were collected and analyzed. There are some differences considered by Islam with regard to the sex differences. These differences not only are considered as discrimination between men and women، but also can lead to the establishment of a healthy atmosphere for both individual and social life of people. In interpreting the sex differentiating imposed by Islam، the natural distinctions existing between men and women and their different duties and other expediencies should be noted so that the borderline between discrimination and natural differences is clarified. Such differences can lead to the formation of different duties and functions which can have outstanding consequences in the education process.

We encounter different approaches and tendencies in the history of Islamic education. Although they all refer to the Quran and Traditions as their sources، each one has considered the term education and its relevant concepts from different angles. The study of such educational principles is important because by reviewing these opinions one can consider the educational subjects more profoundly and more practically. Also by getting familiar with the present defects and deficiencies، one can reveal the reality of these tendencies. One of these tendencies is the narrative approach which can be found in its excessive from among the Salafis and Wahabis and other extremist Muslim groups. These groups، stressing on the Holy Book and the Sunnah، try to preach their wrong educational methods among different people including the youth. Now، considering the importance of ethical education، this question may be asked: what are the criteria of ethical education in narrative approach? Has this approach paid attention to such criteria or not? This study، using an analytic approach seeks to answer these questions. The outcomes of the narrative approach in educating and its negative results will be discussed here.
