According to the Holy Quran, one of the most important expressions of social health is the correct pattern of walking, one which has to conform to certain standards. This definitely impacts his soul and limbs and consequently results in positive or negatives effects for both the individual and society at large. This study has evaluated the educational teachings about walking in different aspects by focusing on the Qur'anic verses, the four hadith books and the fundamental psychological analysis. The present educational discussion considers the necessity of sorting out the different aspects of the matter into the apparent and inner states of walking, the necessities of walking and trekking towards sacred sites. Relying on recommendations such as "Moderation in walking" with the aim of rationalizing social interactions and avoiding any extremities in its manifestations; and "maintaining magnanimity and dignity (which is one of the attributes of the servants of God) has been examined.

Entering a residential home - whether private or non-private - is one of the important issues that the Islamic Shari'ah has been addressing through its rules and regulations. The binding rules such as seeking permission, introducing oneself, greeting, not spying, lowering one's gaze, are part of the Qur'anic teachings aimed at preventing crime, and ultimately the establishment of a civil rights system, to introduce the Islamic Ummah as an model for all nations. After interpreting the verses, narrations and analyzing the viewpoints of scholars in explaining the legal-pedagogical requirements of entering a residential home, it has been concluded that there is a causal relationship between the above mentioned requirements and solidification of brotherhood, love and public cooperation in society. A careful look at the delicate points mentioned by the Holy Lawgiver in the pedagogical rules regarding entering a residence reveals the fact that the religion of Islam is completely cognizant of man's psychological and mental realities. In fact, they are indicative of a common pedagogical point in this regard and that is to apply one's reason which affirms that one should enter a residential home in a way which is normal and customary.
