Quran is the most important source of Islamic culture and knowledge that contains human’s guiding affairs including belief, moral, historical, jurisprudential, legal, and economic issues. Given the main aim of revelation of Quran, that is, the guidance of humans, the Prophet Mohammad and Imams explained the guiding teachings of this book in detail for the first time, and then Islamic interpreters and scholars did that. Because Surah Araf is one of the Surahs that speaks about the most basic guiding issues, this study attempts to clarify the most important guiding teachings of this Surah from Allameh Tabatabaei’s viewpoint by applying a library research method and a descriptive-analytical approach for analyzing the data. According to the findings, denying the guardianship of others than God, denying polytheism and idolatry, infallibility in conveying the message, evaluation of actions in the doomsday, learning from the fate of others, the prophets’ educational methods, the effect of prayers on human’s education, fighting against economic deviations, the prohibition of improper imitation of the predecessors, are among the guiding teachings of Surah Araf in Tafsir al-Mizan.

Inviting to worship God and sincerity had been the headline of the call of all divine prophets. In Quran, the order of pure slavery has been expressed not only by the word of sincerity and its derivatives, but also by other different words, such as “yoriduna wajha”, “aslem wajha lellah”, “nasahu lellah”, “ebteqa’a marzatellah”, “ebteqa’a wajhallah”, “wa qorobaten endallah”, “hanif”, and “tabattal elaih”. In belief and worship, the opposite of sincerity is polytheism and idolatry, and in obedience, the opposite of sincerity is hypocrisy, which has been interpreted in the narratives as “hidden polytheism” and “minor polytheism”. Although the realm of sincerity in Quran includes all beliefs, ritual practices, and moral desirable traits, what has been investigated in this research is some issues on the effects of sincerity, based on the Quranic verses and contemporary Shiite interpreters’ view, particularly the precious interpretation of Al-Mizan. These verses contain sincerity in belief, sincerity against polytheism and idolatry, sincerity in ritual practices, and some moral virtues, such as sincerity in Infaq, feeding, testifying, whispering to reform people, charity, and any good practice. This descriptive-analytical research applied a library method and took advantage of moral and interpretive sources by focusing on the verses and Shiite interpreters’ famous view. The results showed that the repulsion of seditions, reformist movement, tranquility in the uprising for God, the non-fear of non-God, unity, victory in the uprising for God, the release of society from lust, and the increase of trust among people, are social effects of sincerity in the contemporary Shiite interpretations.

The purpose of humans’ creation is to direct them to the way of devotion. God delegated this great mission to the prophets and confirmed them with their miracles and traits so that they take humans to desired perfection and make lighted souls ready to meet the Lord. Meanwhile, God beautifully depicted the Prophet Mohammad’s unique miracle and the prophets’ lives and their ways to guide humans in the form of story; because sending a message indirectly through storytelling has more significant directional and educational influences on the audiences. The identification and review of the prophets’ educational principles and ways in Quranic stories solve many educational problems at different levels in an Islamic society and it is the reason why this descriptive-analytical research presents the prophets’ educational principles and ways in Quranic stories from Allameh Tabatabaei’s and Seyed Ghotb’s viewpoints by using library written sources. According to Al-Mizan fi Tafsir al-Quran and Fi Zelal al-Quran, the prophet’s educational principles are as follows: dignity, monotheism, self-esteem, graduality, morality, the reformation of human conditions and relationships, and honesty. In addition, the prophet’s educational ways are as follows: modeling, encouragement and punishment, warning and evangel, ignorance, and enjoining good and forbidding wrong.
