The main purpose of this research is to analyze the professional qualifications and competences of Islamic education professors in three scientific, behavioral and methodological dimensions. This research was conducted with qualitatively using a phenomenological approach. The participants in the research included all the students of Kashan University, and by using the purposeful sampling method, the narratives and experiences of 22 of them were collected, organized and analyzed in accordance with the principle of theoretical saturation. The data collection tool was a semi-structured in-depth interview, during which an attempt was made to document the lived experiences of the students regarding the professional qualifications of Islamic education professors. The seven-step Colaizzi method was used to analyze the research data. The findings showed that the professors of Islamic education courses are in a good and favorable situation in terms of behavioral and moral characteristics. In terms of scientific or specialized qualifications, although there are relatively suitable conditions, it is necessary to have more scientific capacities and preparations. Finally, in terms of teaching method, considering the existing challenges, there is a serious need to improve their capabilities in the field of using various teaching methods. Increasing the effectiveness of Islamic education courses in achieving their goals requires the promotion of professional qualifications in the three dimensions mentioned, especially scientific aspects and teaching methods.

The realization of the new Islamic civilization, like any human civilization, is a process based on social foundations. Therefore, re-examining the rules governing Islamic societies with the aim of designing civilization-building models, without identifying the social components, will be a fruitless effort. Consequently, the main question of the article is, what are the effective social indicators in the emergence and dynamics of modern Islamic civilization?

This research was done by descriptive-analytical method based on library sources and historical reports.

Calling for social solidarity by relying on monotheistic attitude and based on elements such as returning to pure Islam, preserving human dignity, freedom of thought and achieving social justice was one of the social indicators in the emergence of the new Islamic civilization. In addition, the self-reliance of Muslims under the spirit of self-respect and the realization of a single nation based on independence, despite tolerance with other nations, while objectifying social relations, will determine the dynamics of this sublime civilization

Science policy, as one of the fields of public policy, requires a theoretical basis in which the nature and mission of science, its functions and fundamental issues are formulated. The analysis of this theoretical basis in Islamic thought, and more specifically in the thought of martyr Motahari, has received less attention from researchers. On the other hand, until now, Martyr Motahari's view on science has not been formulated in a coherent way. in this research, the policy issues of science in Martyr Motahari's works have been explored with thematic analysis method and inductive comparative approach. the results of the present survey indicate the following findings among the policy components of science in the formulation of science from the perspective of Martyr Motahari: Belief in the discovery of science from reality in certain sciences and the theoretical value of having these sciences, belief in the practical utility of experimental and creditable sciences and the practical value of having them (essence of science), determining "power, honor and independence" as (goal of science) Paying attention to the independence of scholars from the power class and preserving their freedom (politics of science), firmly believing in the honor of science and avoiding its complete surrender to market relations and the commodification of science (economics of science), condemning the business view of science, trying to keep it free and using it in the way of good (ethics of science) and ultimately considering science as out of place (communications of science) Islamic thought has an original view of science and abandons the mere view of science as a tool. For this reason, the policy of science in this thought, in various economic, political, communication and social relations, is such that while maintaining its high value, it can be used the most in order to realize the interests of the Islamic society.

The purpose of creation is the growth and evolution of humanity, fostering the development of individual personalities, and attaining a dignified position. The Holy Quran places significant emphasis on this objective, considering it one of the most paramount goals. Understanding the methods outlined in the Holy Quran for overcoming obstacles and fostering motivation can serve as a foundation for human growth and excellence. 

This article employs content analysis to elucidate the Quranic methods for surmounting challenges and achieving success.

The findings of this study reveal that the Holy Quran paves the way for human growth and success through four continuous stages: 1) Guidance of Thoughts: In the initial stage, Allah nurtures human thoughts and ideas, guiding individuals to choose their path and road map. 2) Provision of Blessings: In the second stage, various gifts and special favors are bestowed to help individuals establish themselves on their chosen path. 3) Motivation and Resilience: The third stage equips individuals with the strength and motivation to confront obstacles and address impending issues. This empowerment facilitates the journey toward success. 4) Elevation and Dignity: In the final stage, individuals who have made earnest efforts are rewarded with honor and elevated status, both in this world and in the hereafter. By following these stages, the Holy Quran offers a comprehensive framework for personal growth, success, and the attainment of dignity.

In Tadabbor) deliberation (studies, objectivity is considered as the most important and most difficult effort. This importance can be obtained from various methods that "evaluation of topics" is a solid and transparent method within the surah, and it has high credibility depending on the content of the surah and the authenticity of this content. Valuing means determining the importance and position of the subject in the Surah.

  The mentioned research, using the descriptive-analytical method and focusing on the text of the surah, first finds the topic of the surah and after summarizing the topics in categories and contexts using the rules of "elimination" and "combination", the purpose of the surah is revealed.

The output of the method of "evaluating issues" shows that "man's neglect of revealing secrets and God's awareness of man's condition on the Day of Judgment is a source of man's ungratefulness!” that is the main purpose and message of Surah Adiyat.

The present study aims to compare the ideas of Heidegger and earlier Soroush’s thought on technology. The study employed a comparative research technique. The relationship between subjectivism and modern technology was first analyzed, as well as Heidegger’s approach to technology for advancing the study. It was emphasized that, according to Heidegger, technology was not a mere tool but a kind of development, ontology, and way of thinking that changed modern man’s view of the world and man. According to Heidegger, the only way to correctly face modern technology is to meet it with discontinuity-connection. In the continuation of the research, Soroush’s young and advanced thought about technology was analyzed with an emphasis on the article “Art and Contentment.” It was pointed out that the primary and fundamental finding of Soroush’s approach in the article “Industry and Contentment” about modern technology was a negative approach based on the complete negation of contemporary technology. The final results of the research indicated that by comparing Soroush’s and Heidegger’s views on technology, Heidegger’s encounter with modern technology was based on separation and connection. This is while occurs when early Soroush adopted a negative attitude towards modern technology and could not establish a dialogical and dialectical encounter with modern technology.

In line with the transformation plan in human sciences, the first step is to extract anthropological, ontological, and western theories and apply Islamic principles in these theories. The aim of the survey is to extract and analyze the anthropological foundations of John Locke's social contract theory and the application of Ayatollah Misbah's anthropological foundations in this theory to achieve the social contract theory with an Islamic approach.

In the present article, the descriptive-analytical method is used to extract the anthropological foundations of Locke's social contract theory and to place the anthropological foundations of Ayatollah Misbah Yazdi in this theory.

Some of the results obtained from the application of Professor Misbah's anthropological foundations in the social contract theory are: human socialism and his desire to create a government is rooted in the natural tendency of the individual to seek excellence and seek justice. By mutual agreement, people put religious and divine orders and laws as a reference for solving their differences and accept what is true and right to ensure their happiness. Based on this, they choose the person who has the best understanding of religion and divine orders and whose opinion is closest to the truth as their ruler and judge.

 One of the most common problems among students is the feeling of throwness. The feeling of throwness as an output of existential loneliness means the loss of human support and saving bases. Therefore, the present study is conducted to investigate the effectiveness of teaching of death thinking based on Islamic teachings on reducing the feeling of throwness of Tabriz university students. This research was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test post-test design with control group. The statistical population of this research was university of Tabriz students. 80 student were selected randomly and replaced in experimental group (40) and control (40). The tool of researcher-made throwness questionnaire was used as pre-test-post-test in this research. Then, the Islamic Thought designed educational program was implemented as an independent variable in 8 sessions per hour. Finally, data was analyzed using covariance analysis and analyzed by SPSS software version 23. The findings of the analysis of covariance data showed that the teaching of Death Thinking based on Islamic teachings significantly reduced the mean of throwness feeling in the experimental group and in all its components (P <0.001). the authors of the survey conclude that academic officials and educational policy makers can reduce the feeling of throwness of students by holding formal and informal trainings about thinking about death based on Islamic teachings.

The present research aims to present a model of Iranian-Islamic lifestyle within the educational framework of Martyr Soleimani.

The research utilized a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods.
