    In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
    Unforgettable Role-Models
    Role-models looked up to for a variety of reasons; they are also classified in various categories, e.g., economic, scholarly, political, religious, and so forth. Of them, scholarly and religious role models are those whose names are recorded for far longer periods of time. Few people may readily recall the names of the local rulers and major politicians in the time of Plato in ancient Greece and Panini in ancient India. Likewise, the names of the local merchants in
    the time of Noah, Jacob, or Jesus Christ may not be readily remembered. Conversely, the names of the Divine prophets and scholars seldom sink into oblivion. The unforgettable in turn can be put into two categories: eternal books and role-models. Amongst the eternal books, the Holy Quran has been the only Divine Book of guidance that has remained intact. As such, it has been packed with the noble teachings, eternal and true for all times and places. It speaks in a simple language of the human instinct. Perhaps this is why the Divine prophets and the Infallible Imams have remained more influential than philosophers and great teachers.
        Assuming the Holy Quran as the eternal Divine Manifesto, with real-life examples included for more elucidation, then this Manifesto
    needs some role-model personalities to put its wisdom and teachings into practice. Apart from the Divine prophets whose names are mentioned in the Holy Quran, the Prophet Muhammad and the Infallible Imams are those personalities who put the Quranic guidelines into practice. It is their God-granted infallibility that has made them worthy of being so respected and followed up. Their lives in the time of comfort and danger, in all their time and tide, show how a morally educated and developed person may behave and treat others alongside with moral standards endorsed by the Divine Book, hence acceptable to any sane individual. 
    May God make us perceptive enough of taking lessons from them. Amen!

    As it is clear, the Qur'an is a book of guidance and a source of enlightenment for those who seek to find a straight path and a certain path to which God Almighty has commanded us. Therefore, this research; It has been done in order to study one of the verses full of brains and to find its examples. The verses in question 87 and 88 of Surah Al-Hijr are that God Almighty says:و لقد آتیناک سبعا من المثانی و القرآن العظیم‌ * لا تمدن عینیک إلی ما متعنا به ازواجا منهم و لا تحزن علیهم و اخفض جناحک للمومنین‌ -And We have bestowed upon thee the "Saba’an men al-Mathani (سبعا من المثانی) and the Grand Qur'an*Strain not thine eyes. [Wistfully] at what We have bestowed on certain classes of them, nor grieve over them: but lower thy wing [in gentleness] to the believers Whereas the best and most recommended method for obtaining depth and examples of verses; Referring to the teachers of the Qur'an, who are certainly not people other than the Holy Prophet of Islam, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and the infallible Imams, peace be upon them; We go to the narrations and examine the narrations below the mentioned verses. Among the interpretive narrations, we came across a narration from Imam Baqir (as) with the following theme:«نحن المثانی التی اعطاها الله نبینا (صلی الله علیه و آله) و نحن وجه الله نتقلب فی الارض بین اظهرکم عرفنا من عرفنا و جهلنا من جهلنا من عرفنا فامامه الیقین و من جهلنا فامامه السعیر» - We are the Latter or the second that God has given to our Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and we are the face of God that we count on the earth. He knows whoever knows us and is ignorant, whoever is ignorant of our position. Whoever knows us is certain before him, and whoever is ignorant of us is hell before him. Therefore, the main body of this article is the analysis of the instances of "Nahn ol-Mathani" (نحن المثانی) in the mentioned narration from the perspective of the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (as). But even if this narration is an example of Surah Hamd; The tenth of the ten sayings leads us to the conclusion that "we are the second" or "the seventh" are the same infallible Imams (as). And a very important point in this research is to receive the main part of Islam and the true meaning of faith, which cannot have a title other than the issue of Imamate and guardianship of the Commander of the Faithful and his infallible descendants from the generation of Imam Husayn (as). Finally, this article leads us to the fact that in the present situation, "we are the second", Imam al-Asr (as) is the one who, according to the research narration, "whoever knows us is sure before him and whoever is ignorant of us is before him in hell.".

    Insight in religion is one of the most prominent and important features of a Muslim, rather the basis of the invitation of the holy Prophet. As God Almighty addresses the noble Prophet: Say, O Prophet, “This is my way, and that of my followers; to invite you to Allah with insight”. The attribute referred to in the Quran is associated with three topics. The present article deals with these factors. In addition, a part is dedicated to the perfection of glad tiding and perfection of acknowlegment.

    Divine guidance plays a key role in human life and achieving the desired perfection. And certainly a person who is deprived of such guidance is a real loser; In order for man to attain true guidance and, consequently, to attain divine bliss, he must recognize the factors that lead man to salvation and try to remove the obstacles that prevent him from attaining true perfection. Since the Qurchr('39')an itself is a book of guidance, it has pointed out these factors and obstacles.
    In this research, with the help of rational and narrative method and with the help of library tools and descriptive-analytical information processing, it has been tried to identify the guiding factors and the method of removing its obstacles by relying on divine verses; What has been obtained from this research is that some of the guidance factors are external and some  are internal ones that cause happiness. In the field of guidance obstacles, also, there some external and some internal ones that must be confronted to determine the path to ultimate happiness and perfection.
