Ayatollah Allameh Mohammad Taqi Misbah
Abstract
This paper examines the servanthood of true believers and Shi'ites. With regard to the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth signs of the true Shi'a and the righteous, Amir al-Mu'minan says:
«یَسْتَبْطِئُ نَفْسَهُ فِی الْعَمَلِ وَ هُوَ مِنْ صَالِحِ عَمَلِهِ عَلَى وَجَلٍ، یُصْبِحُ وَ شُغْلُهُ الذِّکْرُ وَ یُمْسِی وَ هَمُّهُ الشُّکْرُ، یَبِیتُ حَذِراً مِنْ سِنَةِ الْغَفْلَةِ وَیُصْبِحُ فَرِحاً لِمَا أَصَابَ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ وَالرَّحْمَة»؛
"They regard themselves as negligent and remiss in their deeds, and are not even assured about their righteous deeds; they invoke the name of God until morning, and thank God until night. When they go to sleep, they are afraid of a sleep of negligence, and they wake up in the morning while they are happy with the grace and mercy of God.”
Key words: manifestation of servanthood, true Shiites, friends of God, true believers.

Abstract
The present era is the age of modern communication technologies and media. the Iranian society is characterized with an increasing use of the modern media on the one hand, and has become a consumerist and a user of innovations on the other hand. As a progressive model, the concept of "jihadism" has four dimensions in this research: science, power, plan and self-jihadism, and it aims at facilitating progress in all areas related to Muslims’ lives. For a theoretical explanation of the issue, while relying on the Divine Word for the extraction of the model, the Parsons approach and theory of "reconciliation" is mentioned. According to this framework, the Iranian-Islamic society is considered a construction, and the new media have two positive and negative aspects. Based on the essence of strength and flexibility in the advancement of the Islamic society, the jihadist culture strives to prevent the negative impact of this arena on lifestyle. The present study shows that by using the model of jihadi action, one can preserve values and achieve social cohesion and active presence, and thus the desired progress in planning an Islamic lifestyle will be made possible.
Key words: Quran, jihad, jihadism, model, Islamic, modern media, lifestyle.

Abstract
Recent demographic developments in Iran are mainly rooted in the beliefs, values and attitudes of couples towards childbearing, because decision about childbearing or being reluctant to have children is a meaningful act that does not occur randomly but is based on some assumptions and is influenced by some presuppositions. The purpose of this paper is to examine and evaluate the idea of "fewer children, better life", an idea that plays an important role in the reluctance of Iranian families to have children. Therefore, the authors seek to discover the origin of this thought, and the grounds and motives for its emergence and growth in the contemporary Iranian society. "The development of Malthusian ideas," "the growth of independence-seeking in women" and "the growth of extremist individualistic beliefs," are among the important reasons and motivations that the present study describes and reviews through a documentary approach and the descriptive-analytical method.
Key words: fewer children, better life, childbearing, population growth, population control, Malthusian ideas, women's independence-seeking, extreme individualism.

Abstract
We are faced with a variety of social worlds. The cultural elements determine the type of social world. One of the social worlds is the social world of sacred defense, which was manifested by the Islamic warriors on the front lines of the imposed war. Benefiting from that social world in post-war society, especially for the elimination of social problems, requires depicting that social world in the form of its cultural elements. In this research, by referring to the authentic sources of the holy defense and using the content analysis method, the cultural coordinates of the sacred defense world are described in three layers. The fundamental layer includes deep and fundamental beliefs, such as belief in God and man. The second layer which is based on the first layer is the values that govern it, like rationality, Wilayat-orientedness and etc. The third layer includes the actions that dominate the fronts, which is based on the values that govern it. It is concluded that the social world of sacred defense has all the cultural elements that underpin the values and actions governing the battlefronts.
Key words: culture, sacred defense, social world.

Abstract
Observing privacy in Islamic cities, especially in housing, is considered among the primary principles that are accepted by all researchers. Since numerous verses and hadiths have pointed out the necessity of providing privacy in housing, architects used to consider privacy in building traditional houses.. But nowadays, the entrance of Western modernity to Muslim countries has brought about changes in urban design and contemporary housing that are inconsistent with Islamic beliefs. Thus, taking into account the Islamic beliefs, the purpose of the present study is to analyze the mechanisms that affect privacy in Iran’s traditional housing and can be implemented in contemporary housing and its updating. This research method is descriptive- analytical, and library-based research method (review of related literature) is used for data collection. Finally, we have come to the conclusion that updating and applying the Islamic factors in designing the architecture of contemporary houses with the purpose of providing peace and comfort in people's lives are architectural ways to develop the contemporary architecture of Iran. This way, a step will be taken to develop a lifestyle based on the Islamic worldview.

Abstract
"Religious socialization" is, in fact, part of the general process of socialization, and occurs as a part of the process of human development and perfection; however, based on a scientific and justified definition, it is a process in which the individuals in a society gradually get familiar with and learn the religious beliefs, deeds, duties, rituals, ceremonies, rites, values, norms and symbols of their society, and by internalizing them, they turn into religious people and transfer them from generation to generation. Nowadays, mainly the institution of education is responsible for socialization in all its aspects, since children in every society, spend most of their time in school and are in relation with it (homework assignments) from primary to high school. Accomplishing this great goal in the education institution requires a plan that is called curriculum in the literature of educational studies. This plan can contribute to achieving the institution’s goals if it is based on the value foundations, principles, and methods and culture of that country. Using a descriptive-analytical approach and library sources, the present paper explains the characteristics and quality of the elements of the curriculum effective in the religious socialization of students.
Key words: society, socialization, religious socialization, curriculum, quality of elements.
