Ma`rifat

Abstract Khowf and raja (fear and hope) are among the most famous titles in Islamic education, which are translated as "tars and omid" in Persian. Fear and hope have a fundamental effect on human behavior and most human behaviors are formed based on them. The research question deals with the reality of fear and hope and their educational effects. Explaining and understanding the truth of fear and hope and stating their educational effects will help religious education instructors to use the behavioral mechanism of fear and hope in the education of their students. The reality of fear and hope was investigated in the works of Ayatullah Misbah Yazdi through the descriptive-analytical method. From the point of view of Ayatullah Misbah Yazdi, all human behaviors are formed based on three main motivations: the love of survival, the love of perfection, and the love of pleasure. Man is constantly looking for survival, perfection and pleasure and always fights against obstacles to achieving them. Man likes to gain benefits and protect himself from harm, and that is why fear and hope are formed in man. Fear has effects such as divine piety, abandoning ambitions, resistance against the temptations of the devil and the whims of the soul; hope also has effects such as eagerly striving for righteous deeds, repentance and returning to God.
