Honorableness is one of the most valuable moral virtues in religious teachings. Today, privacy protection and the avoidance of insulting people is very important, especially, by developing cyberspace. One of the solutions for being honorable in Islamic society is to take advantage of the teachings of Quran and Etrat. The results of this study, which applies a library research method, show that the Holy Quran introduces the supreme honorable people both here and hereafter, and explains their moral characteristics, as the Prophet Mohammad is introduced as a perfect example of a person with all moral virtues, by exalting in name and status, and Ahl al-Bayt due to being with him, are introduced as the prominent examples of honorable people and intercessors of the doomsday. In addition, Quran presents the following people as the honorable ones by describing Hazrat Lot’s efforts in preserving the sanctity of his guests, Hazrat Saleh’s good name in the society, Hazrat Yusuf’s unique self-control, the Prophets Moses’s and Jesus’s dignity, and Hazrat Mary’s chastity. Moreover, the Prophet Mohammad’s poor companions, i.e “the companions of Sofa”, are mentioned as an extensive example of honorable people because of their true faith, protection of Islam, and resistance to the divine test.

Debate is a suitable style of explaining and disseminating divine teachings in dealing with the views and ideas of opponents of Islam, which has been given attention in the scientific and practical school of Ahl al-Bayt (pbut), including Imam Reza (pbuh). Among the important debates between Imam Reza (pbuh) and Ma’mun, one of the issues has been Etrat and the nation and the differences between them, in which Imam Reza (pbuh) considers etrat as Ahl al-Bayt (pbut) including Lady Fatima (pbuh) and the twelve Infallibles who are God’s chosen ones on Earth and are at a higher level regarding dignity, righteousness and obedience to God compared to the nation, and the nation is ordered to follow them as a divine responsibility. The purpose of this study is to understand the difference between and the nation according to the debate between Imam Reza (pbuh) and Mamun around this problem. The key question, that the authors are trying to answer by citing researches and investigating into the matter via library resources, is whether there is a distinction between the nation and etrat? If so, what are the aspects of this difference? Therefore, definitions such as nation, etrat, family etc. are considered based on this debate, and eventually, the result from this debate regarding the difference between the nation and etrat is their acquaintance with the character of Imams and their attention to the above mentioned points which leads to the fact that etrat are people chosen from the nation, they are chosen by God in order to rule the nation after the Prophet (pbuh).
