Abstract
There are many factors involved in the process of moral education, one of which is inheritance.
Investigating the role of inheritance in in man's moral upbringing, provides the condition for a desirable education and realizing educational methods and goals. Using a descriptive- analytical method this paper studies the impact of genetic traits on moral education from the viewpoint of the viewpoint of the Infallibles. Accordingly, the scopes of the human being whose heredity affects them, have been investigated. Then the relationship of these areas with moral education has been studied. The findings show that, everyone has inherited a certain memory, intelligence, the body and morals. On the other hand, analyzing the position of these dimensions in different areas of education, shows that, although inheritance plays a significant role in some areas of education, such as rational and physical education, in moral education, it is merely a provider, and it should be managed by using educational methods to manage the other genetic effects in moral education.

According to the rule of 'la zarar', all sorts of harm, including material, spiritual, mental and physical one is prohibited; because human dignity is one of the most important spiritual assets of the students. All  psychological harms and disrupting the dignity of the community are in contrast with the rule of 'la zarar'. The body and soul of children and students in families and schools should be protected from any harm. And their honoring and respecting are among their absolute rights. Teachers and parents are able to preserve the character of the children by adopting moral attributes, such as: honesty, humility, kindness, avoiding punishment; because eliminating their personality causes mental and spiritual difficulties, which can harm the community and people.

people to the view of Islam towards the forbidden property this paper is conducted. Islam has given much importance to the tendency of human beings towards the unlawful property. The lack of knowledge in God's essence and attributes and the lack of faith in the resurrection are among the factors of tendency towards forbidden property from the point of view of Islam. If the human being knows his lofty position in the creation, he will not be attracted to unlawful property. If a person is not aware of the lawful and unlawful ways of obtaining a property and the consequences of forbidden property, he may be attracted to the unlawful matters.
Keywords: unlawful property, attitudinal factors, tendency to forbidden property.

Abstract
Piety is one of the important keywords in ethics. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this paper seeks to study this issue in the works of Imam Khomeini. In his works, three main indicators for piety are introduced, which is consistent with what we know from the Imam Ali (as) culture in this regard. The main point is that, the considering avoidance in the definition of piety, is the spiritual avoidance, not the physical one, that contrary to the popular perception, turns piety from the physical perception, into a physical-spiritual one. Accordingly, this ethical issue becomes a stimulus factor, which brings ascetic seriously into society to confront with the social problems. The ontological viewpoint of Imam Khomeini is one of the pillars of this definition of piety and ascetic. As a Sadraie philosopher, he portrays a picture of the universe and man and the philosophy of life, which also affects the moral concept. Piety in this view is active, not passive.
Keywords: ascetic, dynamics, knowledge, ontology, anthropology, Imam Khomeini
